The other lamps that come on withheadlamps will also come on.• When it is bright enough outside, theheadlamps will go off, and the front turn signallamps (DRL) will come on, as long as theexterior lamp switch is in the off position.If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, theautomatic headlamp system will come onimmediately. Once you leave the garage, it willtake about one minute for the automatic headlampsystem to change to DRL if it is light outside.During that delay, the instrument panel clustermight not be as bright as usual.
