Cadillac 2007 DTS Automobile User Manual


 
When DRL are on, no other exterior lamps such
as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be
on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument
panel will not be lit up either.
When automatic lighting is on and it is dark enough
outside, the turn signal lamps will turn off and
normal low-beam headlamp operation will occur.
When automatic lighting is on and it is bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and
the DRL will take over. If you start your vehicle
in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system
will come on immediately. Once you leave the
garage, it will take approximately one minute for
the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL
if there is light outside. During that delay, your
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
knob is in the full bright position. See Instrument
Panel Brightness on page 192.
Turning on automatic lighting or the headlamps
will deactivate the DRL. If the parking lamps or the
fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will
still deactivate.
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): The fog lamps button is
located on the exterior lamps control. The exterior
lamps control is located on the instrument panel
to the left of the steering column.
