Twilight Sentinel - Chevrolet 2010 Corvette Owner's Manual

Twilight Sentinel

®
Twilight Sentinel can turn the lamps on and off for you.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
®
Twilight Sentinel work, so be sure it is not covered.
®
With Twilight Sentinel , the following will happen:
•
When it is dark enough outside, the front turn signal
lamps (DRL) will go off, and the headlamps and
parking lamps will come on. The other lamps that
come on with headlamps will also come on.
•
When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps will
go off, and the front turn signal lamps (DRL) will
come on, as long as the exterior lamp switch is in the
AUTO position.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system come on immediately. Once the
vehicle leaves the garage, it takes about one minute for
the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is
light outside. During that delay, the instrument panel
cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control is in full bright
position. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 4-15.
You can idle the vehicle with the lamps off, even when
it is dark outside.
