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 makes the
DRL work,
so
be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness in daylight when:
0
The ignition is on,
0
The headlamp switch is off and
0
The transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are
on,
only your low-beam headlamps will
be
on. The parking lamps, taillamps, sidemarker and
other lamps won’t be
on.
Your instrument panel won’t
be lit up either.
When it’s dark enough outside, your low-beam
headlamps will change to full brightness. The other
lamps that come on with your headlamps will also come
on. When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will
go
off, and your low-beam headlamps change to the
reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, shift the
transaxle into PARK
(P).
The DRL will stay off until
you shift out of PARK
(P).
To turn off all exterior lighting at night when
you
are in
PARK
(P),
turn
off
the headlamps and move the twilight
sentinel control, located to the left
of
the steering
column, all
the
way toward
MIN.
See
“Twilight
Sentinel” in
the
Index.
As
with any vehicle, you should turn
on
the regular
headlamp system when you need
it.
