The system may also be on when driving through a
parking garage, heavy overcast weather or a tunnel.
This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the DRL and the Automatic
Headlamp System
so
that driving under bridges or bright
overhead street lights does not affect the system. The
DRL
and Automatic Headlamp Systems will only be
affected when the light sensor sees a change in lighting
lasting longer than this delay.
To
idle your vehicle with the system
off,
set the parkin9
brake while the ignition is
off.
Then start the vehicle.
The system will stay
off
until you release the parking
brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamps when you need them.
