Headlamps; Wiper Activated Headlamps - Chevrolet 2011 HHR Owner's Manual

Headlamps

The lever on the left side of the steering column
operates the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp switch has the following
four positions:
5
(Headlamps): Turns on the headlamps, parking
lamps, and taillamps.
;
(Parking Lamps): Turns on the parking lamps and
taillamps only.
AUTO (Automatic Headlamp System): Automatically
turns on the Daytime Running Lamps during daytime,
and the headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps at
night.
O
(Off/On): This position is the momentary Off/On
switch for the Automatic Headlamp System. In Canada,
this only works when the vehicles with an automatic
transmission are in P (Park) and vehicles with a manual
transmission have the parking brake set and the vehicle
is not moving.
When operating in AUTO, a momentary turn of the
switch to off/on will turn off the Automatic Headlamp
System. An AUTO LIGHTS OFF message displays
on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a chime
will sound. Turning the switch to off/on again will turn
the Automatic Headlamp System back on. An AUTO
LIGHTS ON message displays on the DIC. The
Automatic Headlamp System is always turned on at the
beginning of an ignition cycle for vehicles with manual
transmission.

Wiper Activated Headlamps

The headlamps and parking lamps are activated
15 seconds after the windshield wipers are turned on.
For this feature to work, automatic lighting must be
enabled. See Headlamps on page 4 11 for additional
information.
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. They also turn
off 15 seconds after the windshield wiper control is
turned off.
