Buick 2009 Enclave - Manual (Page 131)

Delayed Headlamps
Delayed headlamps provide a
period of exterior lighting as you
leave the area around your vehicle.
This feature is activated when the
headlamps are on due to the
automatic headlamps control feature,
and when the ignition is turned off.
The headlamps remain on until the
exterior lamps control is moved to
the parking lamps position or until
the pre-selected delayed headlamp
lighting period has ended.
If the ignition is turned off 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,
see DIC Vehicle Customization on
page 3-59.
Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)/Automatic
Headlamp System
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running
lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so do not cover the sensor.
The DRL system’s automatic control
makes the DRL lights come on when
the following conditions are met:
• The ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
• The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
• The engine is running.
When the DRL are on, only the DRL
lights will be on. The headlamps,
taillamps, sidemarker, and other
lamps will not be on. The instrument
panel and cluster will also not be lit.
When it is dark enough outside,
the DRL lights will turn off and the
headlamps and parking lamps
will turn on. The other lamps that
come on with the headlamps
will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps will go off and
the DRL will come on.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when it is
needed.
