Cadillac 2008 SRX - Manual (Page 159)

Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
The exterior lamps turn off about 10 minutes after the
ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF, if the parking lamps or
headlamps have been left on. This protects against
draining the battery. The battery saver does not work if
the headlamps are turned on after the ignition is turned
to LOCK/OFF.
To keep the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, turn
the lamps back on with the exterior lamp control.
Instrument Panel Brightness
Turn the knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to
brighten or dim the
interior lights.
To turn on the dome lamps, turn the knob completely
clockwise as far as it will go. The dome lamps stay
on until they are turned off.
Entry Lighting
The entry lighting system turns on the reading and dome
lamps and the backlighting to the exterior lamp control,
when a door is opened or if the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter unlock button is pressed. If activated
by the RKE, the lighting stays on for about 25 seconds.
The entry lighting system uses the light sensor on the
instrument panel; so it must be dark outside in order for
the lamps to turn on. The lamps turn off about 25 seconds
after the last door is closed. They dim then turn off if the
ignition key is turned to ON/RUN. They immediately turn
off if the power locks are used.
Parade Dimming
This feature does not let the instrument panel
backlight dim during daylight hours while the key is in
the ignition and the headlamps are on. Parade dimming
automatically works with the light sensor, located on top
of the dashboard. If it is dark enough outside and the
parking lamps are on, the backlight on the instrument
panel can be adjusted by turning the instrument panel
brightness knob clockwise or counterclockwise to
brighten or dim the lighting. See Instrument Panel
Brightness on page 3-19.
