Fog Lamps; Exterior Lighting Battery Saver - Buick 2006 LaCrosse Owner's Manual

When it is dark enough outside, the DRL will turn off
and the vehicle's headlamps and parking lamps will turn
on. The other lamps that come on with the headlamps
will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps will
go off and the DRL will come on.
To idle the vehicle with the DRL off, turn the exterior
lamp control off and then do one of the following:
•
Turn the exterior lamp control to the parking
lamp position.
•
Turn the exterior lamp control to the headlamp
position.
•
Turn the exterior lamp control from AUTO to off
and back to AUTO.
This feature is not available for vehicles first sold in
Canada.
To turn off the automatic headlamp feature when it is
dark outside, move the exterior lamp control to the
parking lamp position. The parking lamps will remain
illuminated and the headlamps will turn off. The
fog lamps will also go on if they were on previously.
As with any vehicle, the regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.

Fog Lamps

While the high-beam headlamps are on, the fog lamps
are off.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to
be on along with the fog lamps.

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver

If the parking lamps or headlamps have been left on
after the ignition has been turned to off, the exterior
lamps will turn off after approximately 10 minutes.
This protects the battery from being drained.
If the lamps need to be left on for more than 10 minutes,
use the exterior lamp control to turn the lamps back on.
If your vehicle is equipped
with fog lamps, press the
fog lamps button in the
center of the exterior lamps
control on the left side of
the steering column to turn
the fog lamps on or off.
