Fog Lamps - Chevrolet 2008 Corvette Owner's Manual

When it is dark enough outside, the front turn signal
lamps turn off and the normal low-beam headlamps
turn on.
When it is bright enough outside, the regular lamps
go off, and the front turn signal lamps will take over.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system will come on immediately. Once
the vehicle leaves the garage, it takes approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,
the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness
knob is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel
Brightness on page 3-19 for more information.
If it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamp control
is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver's Information Center (DIC).
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57.
Turning the exterior lamp control to off a second time,
or turning on the headlamps will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message in the DIC.
If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on
instead, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will continue to be displayed.
The regular headlamp system should be turned on
when needed.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp control to
the off position or shift into PARK (P). The DRL
will stay off until the control is toggled again or the
vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P).
This procedure applies only to vehicles first sold in the
United States.

Fog Lamps

Use fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
The fog lamps control is located on the multifunction
lever next to the exterior lamp control.
- (Fog Lamps): Turning the band to this position will
turn the fog lamps on.
When you turn the fog lamps on, the fog lamp light will
appear on the instrument panel cluster to indicate
that the fog lamps and the parking lamps are on.
If you turn the high-beam headlamps on, the fog lamps
will turn off. They will turn on again when you switch
to low-beam headlamps.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to
be on along with the fog lamps.
