exterior lamps.
Parking Lamps:Pull the control out halfway to turn on
the parking lamps together with the following:
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
Headlamps:Pull the control all the way out to turn on
the headlamps together with the previously listed
lamps and lights. A warning chime will sound if you
open the driver’s door when the ignition switch is off and
the headlamps are on.
Delayed Headlamps
The delayed headlamps feature provides a period of
exterior lighting as you leave the area around your
vehicle. The feature is activated when the headlamps
are on due to the automatic headlamps control
feature described previously in this section, and when
the ignition is turned off. Your headlamps will then
remain on until the exterior lamps control is moved to
the parking lamps position or until either a 30 second or
60 second lighting period has ended.
If you turn off the ignition with the headlamps switch in
the parking lamps or headlamps position, the delayed
headlamps cycle will not occur.
To disable the delayed headlamps feature or change
the time of delay, seeVehicle Customization Settings on
page 3-91.

To turn the fog lamps on, press the FOG button. A light
will come on in the button to let you know that the
fog lamps are on. Press the FOG button again to turn
the fog lamps off.
The ignition must be ON and the parking lamps must be
on for your fog lamps to work.
The fog lamps will go off while you change to high-beam
headlamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
The control for the instrument panel lights is located on
the exterior lamps control. Your parking lamps must
be on for this feature to work. Turn the control clockwise
to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on.
These lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for
you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also
turn these lamps on by turning the exterior lamps control
all the way clockwise.
Dome Lamp
If your vehicle has this feature, the dome lamp will
come on when you open a door. You can also turn this
lamp on by turning the exterior lamps control clockwise
as far as it will go. Vehicles that have the optional
sunroof do not have a dome lamp.
Entry Lighting
Your vehicle may be equipped with courtesy lamps that
will come on and stay on for a set time whenever
you press UNLOCK on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped).
If you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it’s open
and then turn off automatically about 25 seconds after
you close it. If you press UNLOCK and don’t open
a door, the lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds.
Entry lighting includes a feature called theater dimming.
With theater dimming, the lamps don’t just turn off at the
end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly dim after the
delay time until they go out. The delay time is canceled if
you turn the ignition key to ON or press the power door
lock switch. The lamps will dim right away.
When the ignition is on, illuminated entry is inactive,
which means the courtesy lamps won’t come on unless
a door is opened.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.

If your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors,
the mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the
surface of the mirror when the rear window defog button
is pressed.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the knob located below or to the side of the outlet,
to change the direction of the air ow.
Operation Tips
Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
inlets at the base of the windshield that may
block the ow of air into your vehicle.
Use of non-GM approved hood deectors may
adversely affect the performance of the system.
Keep the path under the front seats clear of objects
to help circulate the air inside your vehicle more
effectively.
If the airow seems low when the fan is at the
highest setting, the passenger compartment
air lter, if equipped, may need to replaced. For
more information, seePassenger Compartment Air
Filter on page 3-25andScheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4.
If fogging reoccurs while in vent or bi-level modes
with mild temperature throughout the vehicle, turn
on the air conditioner to reduce windshield fogging.
