Lamps on Reminder

If the driver’s door is opened and you turn the ignition

to OFF or LOCK while leaving the lamps on, you will

hear a warning chime.

Daytime Running Lamps / Automatic

Headlamp Control

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. Fully

functional daytime running lamps are required on all

vehicles first sold in Canada.

A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes

the DRL work, so be sure it isn’t covered. The DRL

system will make your front parking and turn signal

lamps come on in daylight when the following

conditions are met:

The ignition is on,

the exterior lamps control is off, and

the parking brake is released.

When the DRL are on, only your front parking and

turn signal lamps will be on. Your instrument panel

won’t be lit up.

When it’s dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will

come on automatically. When it’s bright enough outside,

the exterior lamps will turn off and the DRL will turn

on. Of course, you may still turn on the headlamps any

time you need to.

To idle your vehicle with the DRL and automatic

headlamp control off, set the parking brake while the

ignition is in OFF or LOCK. Then start the vehicle. The

DRL and automatic headlamp control will stay off until

you release the parking brake.

As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular

headlamp system when you need it.
