Adaptive Forward Lighting System; Fog Lamps - Cadillac 2008 XLR Owner's Manual

Turn the exterior lamp control off a second time,
or turn on the headlamps to turn off the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message in the DIC. If the parking
lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message continues
to display.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when needed.

Adaptive Forward Lighting System

The Adaptive Forward Lighting System (AFS) swivels
the headlamps horizontally to provide greater road
illumination while turning. AFS will operate when the
vehicle speed is greater than 2 mph (3 km/h). AFS will
not operate when the transmission is in REVERSE (R).
AFS is not immediately operable after starting the
vehicle; driving a short distance is required to calibrate
the AFS. To enable AFS, set the exterior lamp switch
on the multifunction lever to the AUTO position. Moving
the switch out of the AUTO position will deactivate the
system. See Exterior Lamps on page 3-28.

Fog Lamps

Use fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
The fog lamps control is located on the multifunction
lever next to the exterior lamp control.
- (Fog Lamps): Turning the band to this position will
turn the fog lamps on.
When you turn the fog lamps on, the fog lamp light will
appear on the instrument panel cluster to indicate
that the fog lamps and the parking lamps are on.
If you turn the high-beam headlamps on, the fog lamps
will turn off. They will turn on again when you switch
to low-beam headlamps.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.
The fog lamps will turn off when the ignition is turned off.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps
to be on along with the fog lamps.
