Exterior Lighting Battery Saver; Instrument Panel Brightness; Courtesy Lamps; Entry/Exit Lighting - Chevrolet 2008 Corvette Owner's Manual

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver

If the manual parking lamps or headlamps have been left
on, the exterior lamps will turn off as soon as the ignition
is turned off or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is
active. This protects against draining the battery in
case you have accidentally left the headlamps or
parking lamps on. The battery saver does not work
if the headlamps are turned on after the ignition switch
is turned to off.
If you need to leave the lamps on, use the exterior lamp
control to turn the lamps back on.

Instrument Panel Brightness

Push the knob in to turn on the interior lights.
Turn and hold the knob clockwise to brighten the lights or
counterclockwise to dim them. During the day, this knob
will adjust the instrument panel brightness and at night
will adjust all interior lighting.
The knob for this feature is
located on the left side of
the instrument panel.
Be sure not to have this knob turned all the way
down with the lamps on during the day. Your Driver
Information Center (DIC) may not be visible.

Courtesy Lamps

When any door or the hatch/trunk lid is opened, the
interior lamps will go on unless it is bright outside.
You can also turn the courtesy lamps on and off
by pressing the instrument panel brightness knob.

Entry/Exit Lighting

With entry lighting, the interior lamps will come on when
entering the vehicle. The interior lamps will come on
for about 20 seconds when the engine is off.
You can turn exit and entry lighting off by quickly turning
the courtesy lamps on and off.

Reading Lamps

The inside rearview mirror includes two reading lamps.
The lamps will go on when a door is opened. When
the doors are closed, each lamp can be turned on
individually by pressing the switch for that lamp.
An ambient light is located in the passenger sun visor
clip. This light stays on while driving to keep the
cabin from being too dark.
