Cadillac 2007 XLR - Manual (Page 166)

Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers have been in
use for approximately six seconds and the
multifunction lever is in the AUTO position. See
Exterior Lamps on page 164.
When the exterior lamp control has been turned
off or is in the parking lamp position and the wiper
control is on delay, low speed or high speed,
the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off.
Headlamps on Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp
control is left on in either the headlamp or parking
lamp position and the driver’s door is opened
with the ignition off.
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 DRL are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the front turn signal lamps
come on when the following conditions are met:
• It is still daylight and the ignition is on.
• The exterior lamp control is in the off position.
• The transmission is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps
are on. No other exterior lamps such as the
parking lamps, taillamps, etc. are on when the
DRL are used. Your instrument panel will not be lit.
When it is dark enough outside, the front turn
signal lamps turn off and normal low-beam
headlamps turn on.
