Daytime Running Lamp: Description and Operation

The Daytime Running Lights (Headlamps) System is installed on vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada only. A separate module, mounted on the cowl, controls the DRL.

The headlamps are illuminated when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The DRL module receives a vehicle-moving signal from the vehicle speed sensor. This provides a constant head-lamps-on condition as long as the vehicle is moving. The lamps are illuminated at less than 50 % of normal intensity.
