Fog Lamps; Automatic Headlamp System - Pontiac Aztek 2003 Owner's Manual

A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn't covered. The DRL
system will make your reduced intensity high-beam
headlamps come on in daylight when:
•
The ignition is on,
•
the exterior lamps control is in AUTO, and
•
the shift lever is not in PARK (P).
When the DRL are on, only your reduced intensity
high-beam headlamps will be on. The taillamps
and other lamps will not be on. Your instrument panel
won't be lit up.
When it's dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will
come on automatically. When it's bright enough outside,
the exterior lamps will go out and the DRL will turn
on. Of course, you may still turn on the headlamps any
time you need to.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.

Automatic Headlamp System

When the exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO, the
headlamps and parking lamps will come on
automatically when it is dark enough outside.
The lamps will come on automatically if:
•
It is dark enough outside,
•
the ignition is in ON,
•
the parking brake is released, and
•
the exterior lamp control is in the AUTO position.

Fog Lamps

Push the FOG PUSH button to turn the fog lamps on.
The FOG light indicates the fog lamps are on. To turn off
the fog lamps, press the fog lamp button or turn the
ignition off.
If you turn on the fog lamps while the DRL are on, the
parking lamps will turn on automatically.
Your fog lamps will go off while you switch to high
beams. Using your high beams in fog is not
recommended.
The fog lamp button is
located on the exterior
lamp control.
