Delayed Headlamps; Daytime Running Lamps (Drl) - Pontiac 2007 G6 Owner's Manual

Delayed Headlamps

The delayed headlamps feature will continue to
illuminate the headlamps for 20 seconds after the
key is turned to OFF, then the headlamps will
automatically turn off.
To override the 20 second delayed headlamp
feature while it is active turn the turn signal/
multifunction lever up one position and then back
to AUTO.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered, or
the head lamps will be on when not needed.

The DRL system will make your low-beam
headlamps come on at a reduced brightness when
the following conditions are met:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
•
The exterior lamps control is in the parking
lamps only position (this applies only to
vehicles that are first sold in Canada).
•
The light sensor detects daytime light.
•
The parking brake is released (manual
transaxle) or the vehicle is not in PARK
(automatic transaxle).
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, parking lamps, and instrument
panel lights will not be illuminated unless you
have turned the exterior lamps control to
the parking lamp position.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.
