1996 Cadillac Eldorado Owner's Manual - Page 101

Lamps On Reminder You will hear a warning chime if you pull the key from the ignition while leaving the lamps if the manual on, is headlamp control is activated. An exception to this when you're using twilightsentinel. When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at reduced brightness) will beon. No other exterior lamps such as the parkinglamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel won't be lit up either. When it's dark enough outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced intensity) willchange to low-beam headlamps. When it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps willgo off, and the high-beam headlamps change to the reduced brightnessof DRL. To idle your vehicle with theDRL off, turn off the twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK disables (P) the DRL. The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P). As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you needit. Daytime Running Lamps 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. A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it isn't covered. The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps come on at reduced brightness when: the ignition is on, 0 0 the headlamp switch is off and the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
