Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional DRL are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system makes the low-beam headlamps come on at a reduced brightness when the following conditions are met:
- The ignition is on.
- The exterior lamp control is in AUTO.
- The engine is running.
When the DRL are on, the taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel, and other lamps will not be on.
The headlamps automatically change from DRL to the regular headlamps depending on the darkness of the surroundings. The other lamps that come on with the headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps go off and the DRL come on.
The DRL turn off when the
headlamps are turned to .gif)
or the
ignition is off. For vehicles first sold
in Canada, this control only works
when the vehicle is parked.

What Makes an Airbag
Inflate?
In a deployment event, the sensing
system sends an electrical signal
triggering a release of gas from the
inflator. Gas from the inflator fills the airbag causing the bag to break out
of the cover. The inflator, the airbag,
and related hardware are all part of
the airbag module.
