Headlamps On Reminder

A tone will sound when your headlamps are turned on

and your ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY.

If you need to use your headlamps when the ignition

switch is in OFF, LOCK or ACCESSORY, the tone can

be turned off by moving the thumbwheel next to the

parking lamp/headlamp switch all the way down.

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.

The DRL system will make your headlamps come on at

a reduced brightness when:

The ignition is on,

The headlamp switch is off, and

The parking brake is released.

When the DRL are on, only your headlamps will be on.

The taillamps, sidemarker and 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 off the headlamp switch, the regular

lamps will go off, and your headlamps will change to

the reduced brightness of DRL.

To idle your vehicle with the engine on and the DRL off,

set the parking brake. The DRL 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.
