Buick Regal: Exterior Lamp Controls

The exterior lamp control is on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column.

In Canada, the headlamps will automatically reactivate when the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park).

AUTO : Turns the exterior lamps on and off automatically depending on outside lighting.

: Turns on the parking lamps including all lamps, except the headlamps.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

DRL can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional DRL are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.

The DRL will come on when all of the following conditions are met:

• The ignition is on.
• The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
• The light sensor determines it is daytime.
• The parking brake is released or the vehicle is not in P (Park).

When the DRL are on, the taillamps, sidemarker lamps, instrument panel lights, and other lamps will not be on.

The DRL turn off when the headlamps are turned to or the ignition is off. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the DRL can only be turned off when the vehicle is parked.

This vehicle may have a DRL disabling function. When the DRL are on and a turn signal is activated, the DRL on that side will be off until the turn signal goes off.
