Headlamps On Reminder - Chevrolet 2008 T Series Owner's Manual

Headlamps on Reminder

If your vehicle has this feature, an alarm will sound
when the headlamps and/or parking lamps are turned
on and the ignition is in LOCK or ACC.
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 DRL system will make the headlamps come on at
reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The headlamp band is in the OFF position.
•
The parking brake is released.
3-14
When the DRL are on, only your low-beam headlamps
will be on. The exterior lamps and instrument panel
will not be lit.
The other lamps that come on with your headlamps, will
also come on.
When the headlamp band is turned to OFF, the regular
lamps will go off, and the low-beam headlamps will
change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until the parking brake
is released.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when needed.
When it begins to get dark,
the DRL indicator light is a
reminder to turn your
headlamp switch on.
