Fog Lamps; Instrument Panel Brightness; Courtesy Lamps - GMC Acadia 15919282 Owner's Manual

When the DRL are on, the regular
headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker,
and other lamps will not be on.
The instrument panel and cluster
will also not be lit.
For vehicles with HID headlamps,
if the DRL are on and the left or right
turn signal lamp is turned on, the
left or right DRL will go off.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings.
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.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
Do not cover the light sensor on
top of the instrument panel because
it works with the DRL.

Fog Lamps

Use the fog lamps for better vision
in foggy or misty conditions.
The fog lamps button is located on
the exterior lamps control to the
left of the steering column.
#
(Fog Lamps): Press the exterior
lamps button to turn the fog lamps
on or off. A light comes on in the
instrument panel cluster when the
fog lamps are in use. The ignition
must be on for the fog lamps to work.
When the headlamps are changed
to high-beam, the fog lamps will
turn off. The fog lamps come back
on again when the high-beam
headlamps are turned off.
Some localities have laws that
require the headlamps to be
on along with the fog lamps.

Courtesy Lamps

When a door is opened, the

when entering and exiting the
vehicle. The lamps can also be

The reading lamps, located on
the headliner above the rearview
mirror, can be turned on or off
independent of the automatic
courtesy lamps, when the doors
are closed.
