Wiper Activated Headlamps; Headlamps On Reminder; Daytime Running Lamps (Drl) - Chevrolet 2007 Cobalt Owner's Manual

Wiper Activated Headlamps

This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers are turned
on. For this feature to work, automatic lighting
must be enabled. See Headlamps on page 148 for
additional information.
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. They will
also turn off 15 seconds after the windshield wiper
control is turned off.

Headlamps on Reminder

If you open the driver's door with the ignition off
and the lamps on, you will hear a warning chime.

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 vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered, or
the head lamps will be on when not needed.
The DRL system will make the headlamps come
on when the following conditions are met:
•
The ignition is on.
•
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO or the
parking lamps only position.
•
The light sensor detects daytime light.
•
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, parking lamps, and instrument
panel lights will not be illuminated unless you
have turned the exterior lamps control to
the parking lamp position.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.
