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.
A
light sensor on top of the instrument panel
automatically turns the headlamps
on,
so
be sure
it isn’t covered.
The
DRL
system will
make
your
front turn
signal
lamps come on when:
The ignition is on,
0
The headlamp switch is off
and
0
The parking brake is released.
When
the
DRL
are on, only
your front turn signal lamps
will be
on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel
won’t be lit up
either. When you
use
your turn signals, the
front
turn
signal and the taillamp of the desired side will flash.
When it’s dark enough outside, your front turn
signal
lamps will go out and
your headlamps will come on.
The other lamps will also come on.
When
it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go
off,
and
your front turn signal lamps
will
come
on.
As
with
any vehicle, you should turn
on
the
regular
headlamp system
when
you
need it.
Fog

your fog lamps for
better vision
in foggy or

turn
the
fog
lamps
on,
push
the
fog
lamp
switch.
Push
the the
switch
again
to
turn
the
fog
lamps
off.
A
light
on
the
switch
will
come
on
when
the
fog
lamps
are
on.
Fog lamps will go
off
whenever
yourhigh-beam
headlamps come on. When
