OVERVIEW
The Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and side lamps are incorporated into the headlamp assemblies.
For additional information, refer to: Exterior Lighting (417-01, Description and Operation).
On Rest Of World (ROW) vehicles with halogen headlamps, the DRL use the same lamp as the main beam lamp.
On North American Specification (NAS) vehicles with halogen headlamps, the DRL use the same Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as the dip beam lamp.
On vehicles with xenon headlamps, the 'signature' side lamp LEDs are used for the DRL function, but are illuminated at a higher intensity for DRL operation than for side lamp operation.
On Japan market vehicles, the DRL function is inoperative.

For example, if the left turn signal indicator is active, the left the DRL is dimmed or switched off until the turn signal indicator becomes inactive. The opposite headlamp DRL will remain on at full intensity.
If the hazard warning lamps become active, the DRL are dimmed to the intensity of the side lamps on both headlamps until the hazard warning lamps are deactivated.
The DRL are switched off when the following conditions occur:
The DRL are not switched off when the headlamp flash function is operated.
