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.
The knob for this feature is
located on the left side of
the instrument panel.
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.
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.
