Fog Lamps - Chevrolet 2005 SSR Pickup Owner's Manual

There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems so
that driving under bridges or bright overhead street
lights does not affect the system. The DRL and
automatic headlamp system will only be affected when
the light sensor sees a change in lighting lasting
longer than the delay. See Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) on page 3-14 for more information.
To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
off. Then start your vehicle. The automatic headlamp
system will stay off until you release the parking brake,
or until you shift out of PARK (P).
You may be able to turn off your automatic headlamp
system. See Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) on
page 3-14 for more information.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system will come on immediately. Once you
leave the garage, it will take approximately one minute
for the automatic headlamp system to change to
DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, your
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual.
Make sure your instrument panel brightness control is in
the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness
on page 3-16 for more information.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
