2002 CADILLAC ELDORADO door lock

2-47 Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while the headlamps
are on. This feature operates with the light sensor for
the Twilight Sentinel and is fully automatic. When the
light sensor reads darkness outside, the instrument
panel lights can be adjusted by turning the exterior
lamp knob counterclockwise to dim and clockwise to
brighten lighting. Backlighting to the instrument panel
will turn on, regardless of light conditions.
Reading Lights
The front reading lights are located either in the
headliner or above the windows if you have a sunroof.
The two rear lights above the rear side windows.
To turn them on, turn the exterior lamp knob all the way
clockwise. These lights and the interior courtesy lights
automatically come on when either door is opened and
it is dark outside.
Press the lens to turn on the lights manually. Press it
again to turn them off.
If the reading lights are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle's battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power to
these features will automatically turn off after 10 minutes
(three minutes if a new car has 15 miles (24 km) or less).
Power will be restored for an additional 10 minutes
if either door is opened, the trunk is opened or the
courtesy lamps are turned on.
Storage Mode Personalization
This feature is for long-term use and must be
programmed through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). This feature protects the battery by
placing your vehicle in a storage mode so that the radio,
amplifiers, instrument panel cluster and remote keyless
entry will not drain the battery over a long period of
time. For programming information, see ªMemory
and Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

2-51 Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex mirror's
surface is curved so you can see more from the driver's seat.
This mirror does not have a dimming feature.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
Heated Outside Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, it also
warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog
or ice. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index for
more information.
