Dome Lamps; Entry/Exit Lighting; Parade Dimming; Reading Lamps - Pontiac G6 2009 Owner's Manual

Dome Lamps

The dome lamps come on when any door is opened.
They turn off after all the doors are closed.
The dome lamps can also be turned on by turning
the instrument panel brightness knob, located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering column,
clockwise to the farthest position. In this position, the
dome lamps remain on whether a door is opened or
closed.

Entry/Exit Lighting

The lamps inside the vehicle come on when any door
is opened. These lamps fade out about 20 seconds after
all of the doors have been closed or when the ignition is
turned to ON/RUN. They also come on when the unlock
symbol button or the horn symbol is pressed on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system transmitter.
The lamps inside the vehicle stay on for about
20 seconds after the key is removed from the ignition
to provide light as you exit.

Parade Dimming

Parade mode automatically prohibits the dimming of the
instrument panel displays during the daylight while the
headlamps are on so that the displays are still able to
be seen.

Reading Lamps

For vehicles with front and rear reading lamps, press
the lens to turn the lamp on and off, while the doors
are closed. These lamps come on automatically when
any door is opened.

Trunk Lamp

The trunk lamp comes on when the trunk is opened and
turns off when the trunk is closed.

Electric Power Management

The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) that
estimates the battery's temperature and state of charge.
It then adjusts the voltage for best performance and
extended life of the battery.
When the battery's state of charge is low, the voltage
is raised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up.
When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered
slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a
voltmeter gage or a voltage display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC), you may see the voltage
move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem,
an alert will be displayed.
