Daytime Running Lamps

North American Specification (NAS) 

The DRL are switched on when the following conditions are met:

• Ignition is in power mode 7 - engine running
• Lighting control switch is in the off position or in the 'AUTO' position (rain/light sensor not requesting exterior lighting operation)

The DRL remain off if:

• Park is still selected (automatic transmission only)
• Neutral is still selected and the park brake is applied (manual transmission)
• The vehicle has not moved since the engine was manually started (not started using stop/start sequence - only applies to vehicles with the stop/start system)

The DRL are illuminated at a higher intensity than the side lamp operation.

The DRL on Xenon headlamps will dim to side light intensity during the entire operation of the signal indicator or hazard warning signal. On LED and Adaptive LED headlamp variants the DRL's will switch off during the entire operation of the signal indicator or hazard warning signal.

The DRL are switched off when the following conditions occur:

• Park is selected (automatic transmission vehicles)
• Neutral is selected and the park brake is applied (manual transmission vehicles)
• Ignition state is changed to power mode 4 (accessory) or power mode 0 (locked and alarmed)
• Lighting control switch is in the 'AUTO' position and the rain/light sensor requests exterior lighting on

When DRL are active, the headlamp flash function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will operate normally.
