Flash-To-Pass; Daytime Running Lamps (Drl); Automatic Headlamp System - Chevrolet CORVETTE Owner's Manual

This indicator light turns on in the
instrument cluster when the high-beam
headlamps are on.

Flash-to-Pass

To use the flash-to-pass feature, briefly pull
the turn signal lever toward you. The
main-beam indicator flashes to indicate to
the other driver that you intend to pass.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

DRL can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
The DRL system makes the dedicated lamps
come on when the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamp control is in the AUTO.
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
When DRL are on, only the front lamps will
be on. The parking lamps, tail lamps,
instrument panel lights, or other exterior
lamps will not be on when the DRL are
being used.
When it is dark enough outside, the front
lamps dim to parking lamps and the normal
dipped beam headlamps turn on.
The regular headlamp system should be
turned on when needed.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp
control to . The DRL will stay off until
the control is toggled again.

Automatic Headlamp System

When the exterior lamp control is set to
AUTO and it is dark enough outside, the
headlamps and parking lamps come on
automatically.
Lighting
There is a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor;
otherwise the headlamps will come on when
they are not needed.
The system may also turn on the headlamps
and parking lamps when driving through a
parking garage or tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on
immediately. If it is light outside when the
vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight
delay before the automatic headlight system
changes to the DRL. During that delay, the
instrument cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in the full bright
position. See Instrument Panel Illumination
Control 0 121.
