When Driving

Daytime Running Lights

~1min read

Some countries require moving vehicles to have their lights on (daytime running lights) during the daytime.

Daytime running lights turn on automatically when the ignition is switched ON.

They turn off when the parking brake is operated or the shift lever is shifted to the P position (automatic transaxle vehicle).

NOTE (Except Canada) The daytime running lights can be deactivated.
