Pontiac 2006 G6 - Manual (Page 145)

Delayed Headlamps
The delayed headlamps feature will continue to
illuminate the headlamps for 20 seconds after the key is
turned to OFF, then the headlamps will automatically
turn off.
To override the 20 second delayed headlamp feature
while it is active turn the turn signal/multifunction
lever up one position and then back to AUTO.
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
daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada. The vehicle has a light sensor on
top of the instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered,
or the head lamps will be on when not needed.
The DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps
come on at a reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:
• The ignition is on.
• The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
• The exterior lamps control is in the parking lamps
only position (this applies only to vehicles that are
first sold in Canada).
• The light sensor detects daytime light.
• The parking brake is released (manual transaxle) or
the vehicle is not in PARK (automatic transaxle).
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, parking lamps, and instrument panel lights
will not be illuminated unless you have turned the
exterior lamps control to the parking lamp position.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
