yellowblue Daytime Running Lamps Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset. Pull the headlamp knob out to the first position to turn on the parking, license and sidemarker lamps. Pull the knob out further, to the second position, to turn on the headlamps. Push the knob all the way back in to turn off the parking and headlamps. A light sensor on top of the instrument panel monitors the exterior light level for the operation of DRL and twilight sentinel, so be sure it isn't covered. The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come on at reduced brightness in daylight when: Lamps On Reminder If you leave the manual headlamp or parking lamp switch on, remove the key from the ignition and open the driver's door, you will hear a continuous warning chime.
