Cadillac 2009 owner manual Fog Lamps, Exterior Cargo Lamps, Instrument Panel Brightness

If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system will come on immediately. Once the vehicle leaves the garage, it takes approximately one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster may not be as bright

as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Brightness on page 3-18.

Fog Lamps

For vehicles with fog lamps, they can be used for better vision in foggy or misty conditions. The parking lamps and/or low-beam headlamps must be on for the fog lamps to work.

The fog lamp button is located on the left side of the instrument panel.

#(Fog Lamps): Press to turn the fog lamps on or off. An indicator light comes on in the instrument panel cluster to show that the fog lamps are on.

Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as much light as the headlamps. Never use the fog lamps in the dark without turning on the headlamps.

The fog lamps will go off whenever the high-beam headlamps come on. When the high beams go off, the fog lamps will come on again.

The fog lamps will be cancelled after the ignition is turned off. To use the fog lamps after restarting the vehicle, press the fog lamp button again.

Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.

Exterior Cargo Lamps

The cargo lamp can be used if more light is needed in the cargo area of the vehicle or in the top-box storage units. Some vehicles will only have a cargo lamp in the driver side top box.

The cargo lamps come on by turning on the interior dome lamps.

Instrument Panel Brightness

The knob for this feature is located next to the exterior lamps control.

D(Instrument Panel Lights): Push the knob to extend and then turn clockwise or counterclockwise to brighten or dim the instrument panel lights and the radio display. This only works if the headlamps or parking lamps are on.

To turn on the dome lamps, with the vehicle doors closed, turn the knob all the way clockwise.
