Black plate (4,1) Cadillac SRX Owner Manual - 2010
5-4 Lighting
Curve Lighting
The Xenon light beam pivots based
on the steering wheel position and
vehicle speed of at least 10 km/h
(6 mph). The headlamps shine at an
angle of up to 15 degrees to the
right or left of the direction of travel.
Motorway Lighting
If the vehicle is traveling straight
continuously at high speeds, the
light beam automatically raises
slightly to increase the headlamp
range.
City Lighting
If the vehicle speed is less than
50 km/h (31 mph), the headlamp
range is automatically reduced.
Twilight Sentinel
This feature automatically turns the
lamps on and off. A light sensor on
top of the instrument panel makes
the Twilight Sentinel
® work, so be
sure it is not covered.
With Twilight Sentinel ® the following
will happen:
. When it is dark enough outside,
the Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) go off, and the headlamps
and parking lamps come on. The
other lamps that come on with
the headlamps also come on.
. When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off, and the
DRL come on, as long as the
exterior lamp switch is in the
AUTO position.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it
is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a
slight delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to the
DRL. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not be
as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control
is in full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control on page 5‑6 for more
information.
The vehicle can be idled with the
lamps off, even when it is dark
outside. After starting the vehicle,
turn the exterior lamp control to off,
then release it. The lamps will
remain off until the control is turned
to off again.
Twilight Sentinel ® also provides
exterior illumination as you leave
the vehicle. If Twilight Sentinel
® has
turned on the lamps when the
ignition is turned off, the lamps
remain on until:
. The exterior lamp control is
moved from
O to the parking
lamp position, or
. the delay time selected has
elapsed.
