Lighting  
To help conserve fuel by reducing the use of  
electrical current in the vehicle, DRL can be  
used in daylight conditions instead of the low  
beam headlights, which consume more elec-  
trical current. The daytime running lights are  
mounted in the front spoiler and use bright,  
electricity-saving LEDs (light emitting diodes).  
Bending Light symbol will illuminate. The func-  
tion can be deactivated by turning the lighting  
switch counterclockwise to one of the other  
lighting positions.

tions. A light sensor then monitors the ambient  
lighting conditions and automatically switches  
from LED DRL to the low beam headlights in

snow, smoke or dust reduce visibility for  
other vehicles to less than 500 ft.  
(150 meters).  
WARNING  
DRL is a driving aid designed to help  
Fog lights  
conserve electrical current. This system  
cannot always determine if the ambient  
lighting conditions are sufficient for  
switching from low beams to DRL (or  
vice versa). It is always the driver's  
responsibility to visually determine if the  
low beam headlights should be used.
