Pontiac 2005 Vibe - Manual (Page 125)

Automatic Headlamp System
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic light sensor
on the top left corner of the instrument panel, so be sure it
is not covered or the headlamps will be on continuously.
When it is dark enough outside, your automatic
headlamp system will turn on your low-beam headlamps
at the normal brightness along with other lamps such
as the taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps and
instrument panel lights. This is indicated by the
headlamp symbol on your instrument panel cluster.
See Instrument Panel Cluster on page 3-26.
If you are driving through a parking garage, overcast
weather, or a tunnel, the automatic headlamp system
may turn on your low-beam headlamps at a normal
brightness along with the taillamps, sidemarker, parking
lamps and the instrument panel lights. The radio
lights will be dimmer, and the instrument panel cluster
lights may dim. There will be a delay before the
lights will turn on when starting the car at night.
Fog Lamps
- (Fog Lamps): Turn the band on the turn
signal/multifunction lever to the fog lamp symbol to turn
the fog lamps on. They will come on only when the
headlamps are on low beam.
Instrument Panel Brightness
The instrument panel
brightness control is
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
Turn the wheel on the
left of the control up
or down to increase or
decrease brightness.
The brightness of the instrument panel lights will
decrease when the headlamps are on.
6 (Maximum Setting): It is recommended that the
brightness level be kept at the maximum setting for
all daytime driving to ensure proper visibility.
