Cadillac 2006 DTS Automobile User Manual


 
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off
automatic lighting and shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL.
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off automatic
lighting and manually turn on the parking lamps or fog
lamps (if equipped).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
- (Fog Lamps): Your vehicle is equipped with fog
lamps. It is located on the exterior lamps control.
The exterior lamps control is located on the instrument
panel to the left of the steering column.
When you press the exterior lamps control, the fog lamp
light on the instrument panel cluster will come on to
indicate that the fog lamps and the parking lamps are on.
Press the button again to turn them off.
If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will turn off. They will turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
When automatic lighting is on and the fog lamps are
turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking lamps
will remain on.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to
be on along with the fog lamps.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn with the
multifunction lever. They provide more light for
cornering.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the manual parking lamps or headlamps have been
left on, the exterior lamps will turn off approximately
10 minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF. This
protects against draining the battery in case you have
accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on.
The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are
turned on after the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
If you need to leave the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn the
lamps back on.
