Daytime Running Lamps; Fog Lamps - GMC Chevrolet SSR 2003 Owner's Manual

Daytime Running Lamps

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 DRL system will make your headlamps come on
at reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamps knob is in AUTO.
•
The light sensor detects daytime light.
•
The transmission is not in PARK (P).
When the DRL are on, only your headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't
be on. The instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, put your vehicle's
transmission in PARK (P). The DRL will stay off until
you shift out of PARK (P).

Fog Lamps

Use your fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. Your ignition must be in RUN for your
fog lamps to work.
- (Fog Lamps): Press this button located on the
exterior lamps control to turn the fog lamps on or off.
The fog lamps will go off whenever you turn on the
high-beam headlamps. When the high beams are turned
off, the fog lamps will come on again.
O
(Fog Lamp Indicator Light): This light located on
the exterior lamps control illuminates when the
fog lamps are turned on.
