When the DRL are on, only your headlamps will be on. The taillamps, sidemarkerand other lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel won't be lit up either. When it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light is a reminder to turn your headlamp switch on. The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will also come on. When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular lamps will go off, and your headlamps will change to the reduced brightness of DRL. To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking brake. The DRLwill stay off until you release the parking brake. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it.
