Fog Lamps; Instrument Panel Brightness; Courtesy Lamps - Chevrolet Impala 2007 Impala Owner's Manual

When it is dark enough outside, your low-beam
headlamps will turn off and the headlamps and
parking lamps will turn on. The other lamps that
come on with the headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps
will go off and the DRL will come on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.

Fog Lamps

(Fog Lamps): If your vehicle has fog lamps,
-
the control is located on the exterior lamps
control. The exterior lamps control is located on
the instrument panel to the left of the steering
column.
Your ignition must be in the RUN position for the
fog lamps to come on.
To turn the fog lamps on, press the exterior lamps
button. A light will come on in the instrument
panel cluster to let you know that the fog lamps
are on. Press the exterior lamps button again
to turn the fog lamps off.
When the headlamps are changed to high-beam,
the fog lamps also go off.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.

Instrument Panel Brightness

D
(Instrument Panel Brightness): The knob
with this symbol on it is located next to the exterior
lamps control. Press the knob until it pops out
and then turn the knob clockwise to brighten
or counterclockwise to dim the lights.

Courtesy Lamps

When a door is opened, the courtesy lamps
automatically come on. They make it easy for you
to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also
manually turn these lamps on by turning the
instrument panel brightness control clockwise all
the way.
The reading lamps, located on the rearview mirror,
can be turned on or off independent of the
automatic courtesy lamps, when the doors are
closed.
