You can brighten or dim the instrument panel lamps by
turning the dial up
or down.
Turn the dial up all the way
to turn on the interior
courtesy 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. Several
countries, including Canada, require DRL.
The DRL system will make your high beam headlamps
come
on at a reduced brightness in daylight when:
0 The ignition is on,
0 The headlamp switch is off,
0 The parking brake is released and
On vehicles with automatic transaxles the shift lever
is moved from PARK

As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamps system when you need it.

When
you turn on the headlamp switch, your high beam

When you open either front door, or open a rear door,
the lamps inside your vehicle will go
on. These lamps
will fade off after about
40 seconds, or when the ignition
is turned on.
If the ignition has been off for less than two minutes,
the lamps inside your vehicle will stay on for about
15 seconds to provide an illuminated exit when you
remove the key from the ignition.
After you exit the vehicle and all of the doors have been
closed,
the lamps will stay on for an additional four
seconds before fading
off.
Battery Rundown Protection
Your Chevrolet is equipped with a Battery Rundown
Protection feature designed
to protect your vehicle’s
battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading, dome, glove
box, etc.) is left
on and the ignition is turned OFF, the
Battery Rundown Protection system will automatically
turn the lamp
off after 20 minutes. This will avoid
draining the battery. This system does not protect
against leaving on the headlamps.
To reactivate the interior lamps, either:
The ignition must be turned on,
The activated lamp switch must be turned off, then
on, OR
A door must be opened.
The Battery
Rundown Protection feature will also be
activated when any door is
left open.
If your vehicle is left with the ignition off for over
24 days, the battery power to the clock and audio
system will turn off to reduce the battery drain. When
the ignition is turned on again, battery power will be
resupplied. Under these conditions it will be necessary
to reset the clock and audio system settings.

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One
reason is that some drivers are likely
to be impaired -- by
alcohol or drugs,
with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Here
are some tips on night driving.

Drive defensively. Don’t drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror
to reduce the
glare
from headlamps behind you.
Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow
down and keep more space between
you and other
vehicles.
Slow down, especially
on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only
so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and
rest.
Night Vision
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase. A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to see
the
same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
What
you do in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example,
if you spend the day in bright
