Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercury Milan, 2011 Lincoln MKZ, and 2011 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Milan is not available with the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) feature.

On vehicles with halogen headlamps, the DRL system illuminates the low beam headlamps at a reduced intensity.

On vehicles with HID headlamps, the DRL system operates the fog lamps at full intensity by energizing the fog lamp relay.

The DRL turn on when the following conditions are met:

The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
The headlamps have not been turned on by the autolamp system or the headlamp switch.
The transmission is not in PARK (P) (automatic transaxle).
The parking brake is released (manual transaxle).

The SJB can be configured to turn the DRL on for this vehicle. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION -- FUSION MILAN & MKZ article for additional information on this programmable parameter.
