Fog Lamps; Instrument Panel Brightness - Chevrolet 2006 HHR Owner's Manual

If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic
lamp system will come on immediately. Once you
leave the garage, it will take about 20 seconds for the
automatic lamp system to change to DRL if it is
light outside. During that delay, your instrument panel
cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure
your instrument panel brightness control is in the full
bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness
on page 3-16.
To idle your vehicle with the system off, turn the ignition
on and rotate the exterior light switch to the off/on
position. For Canadian vehicles, the transaxle must stay
in PARK (P) for this function or the parking brake
must be set for vehicles with manual transaxles.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamps when you need them.
