Delayed Headlamps; Daytime Running Lamps (Drl) - Saturn 2009 AURA Owner's Manual

Delayed Headlamps

The delayed headlamps feature keeps the headlamps
on for 20 seconds after the key is turned to LOCK/OFF,
then the headlamps 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.
Fully functional DRL are required on all vehicles first sold
in Canada. The vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel that controls the DRL. Do not cover this
sensor or the head lamps will be on when they are not
needed.
3-14
The DRL system makes the 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 or the vehicle is not in
P (Park).
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, parking lamps, and instrument panel lights
are not on unless you turn the exterior lamps control to
the parking lamp position.
The regular headlamp system should be turned on
when they are needed.
