Cadillac 2009 Escalade EXT Automobile User Manual


 
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system will come on immediately. Once
the vehicle leaves the garage, it takes approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,
the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel
Brightness on page 3-18.
Fog Lamps
For vehicles with fog lamps, they can be used for better
vision in foggy or misty conditions. The parking lamps
and/or low-beam headlamps must be on for the fog
lamps to work.
The fog lamp button is located on the left side of the
instrument panel.
# (Fog Lamps): Press to turn the fog lamps on or off.
An indicator light comes on in the instrument panel
cluster to show that the fog lamps are on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as much
light as the headlamps. Never use the fog lamps in the
dark without turning on the headlamps.
The fog lamps will go off whenever the high-beam
headlamps come on. When the high beams go off,
the fog lamps will come on again.
The fog lamps will be cancelled after the ignition is
turned off. To use the fog lamps after restarting
the vehicle, press the fog lamp button again.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to
be on along with the fog lamps.
Exterior Cargo Lamps
The cargo lamp can be used if more light is needed in
the cargo area of the vehicle or in the top-box
storage units. Some vehicles will only have a cargo
lamp in the driver side top box.
The cargo lamps come on by turning on the interior
dome lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
The knob for this feature is located next to the exterior
lamps control.
D (Instrument Panel Lights): Push the knob to
extend and then turn clockwise or counterclockwise to
brighten or dim the instrument panel lights and the radio
display. This only works if the headlamps or parking
lamps are on.
To turn on the dome lamps, with the vehicle doors
closed, turn the knob all the way clockwise.
