Lamps On Reminder
If the manual lamp switch is left on (as when someone has
parked your vehicle), you’ll hear a warning chime when
you turn
off the ignition and open the driver’s door.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
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 low-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness
in daylight when:
0 the ignition is on and,
0 the headlamp switch is off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the DRL are on, only your low-beam headlamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up eithe\
r.
When it’s dark enough outside,
your low-beam headlamps
will change to full brightness. The other lamps that come
on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go off, and your low-beam headlamps change to the
reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set your gear
selector in park before you turn on the ignition. Once
you shift out of park, the DRL cannot be turned
off as
long as the ignition is on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need
it.
Cornering La.-ps
If the exterior lamps are on, the cornering lamps will
come on when you signal a turn. This will provide more
light for cornering when its dark.
Sei
The Twilight Sentinel control is under the headlamp
knob. It turns your lamps on and
off by sensing how
dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the lamp knob
off
and move the Twilight Sentinel control to any position
but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lamps
will stay
on for about four minutes after you turn the
ignition to
OFF. If you move the control almost all the
way in the other direction,
so it’s just on, the lamps will ,
go off quickly when you turn the ignition to OFF.
The light sensor is located on
top of the instrument panel.
Do not cover the sensor. If
you do, it will sense that is is
dark outside and your lamps
will come on.

Electrochromic Mirror
Your Cadillac has an automatic inside rearview mirror.
During the day
it works like a regular mirror, but at
night it adjusts for the glare of headlamps behind you.
The
mirror delays before switching from day to night
mode.
This change may take a few seconds. This delay
prevents rapid changing of the mirror as you drive under
lights and through traffic.
On/Off Switch
Press the switch located at the base of the mirror to turn
on the auto-dimming feature. Press it
again to turn off.
Reverse Gear Day Mode
When the shift lever is placed in REVERSE (R), the
mirror changes to the daytime mode for a bright image
in the mirror as you back up.
Front Reading Lamps
There are two reading lamps located on the rearview
mirror.
Press the switch next to the lamp that you want
to turn on
or off.
