Daytime Running Lamp: Description and Operation

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (DRL)

The DRL system switches on the low beams with reduced intensity when the following conditions apply:
- The ignition is switched on.
- The headlamps are not switched on.

The DRL system consists of a DRL relay and a resistor wire located in the battery junction box (BJB). The DRL system utilizes the existing headlamp circuitry to illuminate the low beams.
