DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
WARNING
The daytime running lamps system
does not activate the rear lamps and

during low visibility driving conditions. Also,
the autolamps switch position may not
activate the headlamps in all low visibility
conditions, such as daytime fog. Make sure
the headlamps are switched to auto or on,
as appropriate, during all low visibility
conditions. Failure to do so may result in a
crash.
The daytime running lamps turn on when:
1. The ignition is switched to the on
position.
2. The lighting control is in the off
position, parking lamps position or the
autolamps position, and the sensor
detects daylight.
