Daytime Running Lights — If Equipped

The headlights come on at a low intensity level when shifted into any position other than PARK (auto transmission) or when the vehicle begins to move (manual transmission).

NOTE: The Daytime Running Light on the same side of the vehicle as the active turn signal will turn off automatically when a turn signal is in operation and turn on again when the turn signal is not operating.
