Day Time Running Lights (Canada Only)
The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Running
Lights” (DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehicle
more visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL
are required on new vehicles sold in Canada.
Your
DRL work with a light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Don’t -
cover it up.
The high beam headlights will come on at reduced brightness in daylight
when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The transaxle is not in “P” (Park).
At dusk, the
DRL will switch off and the exterior lights will come on
automatically. At dawn, the exterior lights will
go out and the high beams

Automatic DaylNight Inside Rearview Mirror

- Your Cadillac has the
automatic
electrochromic
rearview mirror.
During the day the mirror reflects all the light from behind your car. At
-. night, when the glare is too high, it darkens to reflect only part of the light
behind you. When the mirror darkens, it holds that position until the
glare is no longer present.

Settings
Your automatic rearview mirror has different positions for light
the mirror to gradually darken. This is a good setting for rural driving. At
the
“MIN” setting, bright headlights have to be rather close for the
__ sensitivity. At the “MAX” setting, bright headlights far away will cause
-. mirror to darken. This is a good setting for city driving.
Reverse Gear Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of the automatic mirror.
When the shift lever is placed in
“R’ (Reverse), the mirror changes to the
daytime mode for a bright image in the mirror as you back up.
