2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO change time

2(Headlamps):Turn the control to this position
to turn on the headlamps together with the
following:
Parking Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps
When the headlamps are turned on while the
vehicle is on, the headlamps turn off automatically
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off. When
the headlamps are turned on while the vehicle
is off, the headlamps will stay on for 10 minutes
before automatically turning off to prevent the
battery from being drained. Turn the headlamp
control to off and then back to the headlamp
on position to make the headlamps stay on for an
additional 10 minutes.
Push the turn signal/multifunction lever toward the
instrument panel to change the headlamps
from low beam to high beam.
Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder chime will sound when the headlamps
or parking lamps are manually turned on and
your ignition is off and a door is open. To disable
the chime, turn the light off.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
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. Fully functional DRL are required on all
vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
The engine is running.
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
224

When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will
be on. The taillamps, sidemarker, and other lamps
will not be on. The instrument panel back
lighting will not be on either.
When it begins to get dark, the automatic headlamp
system will switch from DRL to the headlamps.
When the headlamp switch is turned off, the
headlamps will go off.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the automatic
headlamp system will turn on the headlamps at the
normal brightness, along with the taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps, and the instrument
panel lights. The radio back lighting will also be
dimly lit.
To turn off the automatic headlamp system, turn
the exterior lamps switch to the off position.
Turning off the automatic headlamp system with
the headlamp switch is not available for vehicles
rst sold in Canada.
Your vehicle has a light sensor located on the top
of the instrument panel in the defroster grille
that regulates when the automatic headlamps turn
on. Be sure it is not covered, or the headlamps
will come on whenever the ignition is on.The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the
daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp
systems so that driving under bridges or bright
overhead street lights does not affect the system.
The DRL and automatic headlamp system will only
be affected when the light sensor detects a change
in lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take approximately one minute for the automatic
headlamp system to change to DRL if it is
bright enough outside. During that delay, your
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Brightness on page 227.
225

To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, turn the control to the off position.
You may be able to turn off your Automatic
Headlamp System. SeeDaytime Running Lamps
(DRL) on page 224for more information.
Your headlamps will also stay on after you exit the
vehicle. You can program this feature using the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 291.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when needed.
Puddle Lamps
Your vehicle may have puddle lamps, that come
on when it is dark outside to help you see the area
near the base of the front doors. The puddle
lamps will come on when a door is opened, or
when you press the unlock button on the Remote
Keyless Entry Transmitter. The lamps will time
out or turn off once the engine is started.
Fog Lamps
-(Fog Lamps):If your vehicle has fog lamps,
the button is located on the instrument panel
to the left of the steering column and below the
dome lamp override button.
The ignition must be in RUN and the parking
lamps must be on for the fog lamps to work.
To turn the fog lamps on, press the fog lamps
button. A light comes on in the instrument
panel cluster to let you know that the fog lamps
are on. Press the button again to turn the fog
lamps off.
When the fog lamps are turned on, the low-beam
headlamps automatically turn on.
The fog lamps turn off while you change to
high-beam headlamps. When the high-beam
headlamps go off, the fog lamps will come
on again.
Fog lamps should only be used in foggy conditions
since they could be distracting to oncoming
drivers in clear weather conditions.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
