Exterior Lighting Battery Saver - Cadillac 2002 DeVille Owner's Manual

Light Sensor
The light sensor for the DRL and the Twilight Sentinel
is located in the center of the front defogger grille. If
you cover the sensor, it will read "dark" and the exterior
lamps or the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will be on whenever the ignition is on.

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver

If the manual parking lamps or headlamps have been
left on, the exterior lamps will turn off approximately
ten minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF. This
protects against draining the battery in case you have
accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on.
The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are
turned on after the ignition switch is turned to OFF.
If you need to leave the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn the
lamps back on. To delay the lamps from turning off,
see "Twilight Sentinel" in the Index.
