Wiper Activated Headlamps; Headlamps On Reminder; Daytime Running Lamps (Drl) - Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual

Wiper Activated Headlamps

This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers have been in
use for approximately 15 seconds and deactivates
and returns to ambient lighting conditions
15 seconds after the wipers are turned off.
If the exterior lamp control has been turned off or
is in the parking lamp position while the wiper
control is active in any position, the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message appears on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 212.
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off.

Headlamps on Reminder

A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp
control is left on in either the headlamp or parking
lamp position and the driver's door is opened
with the ignition off.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the front turn signal
lamps come on when the following conditions
are met:
•
It is still daylight and the ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamp control is in the AUTO
position.
•
The transmission is not in PARK (P) or the
parking brake is off.
•
The parking brake is off or the vehicle speed
is greater than 8 mph (13 km/h).
When DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps
will be 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.
