Chevrolet Silverado: Exterior Lighting / Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
DRL can make it easier for others to see the front of the vehicle during the
day. Fully functional DRL are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system comes on when the following conditions are met:
- The ignition is on.
- The exterior lamp control is in AUTO.
- The transmission is not in P (Park).
- The light sensor determines it is daytime.
When the DRL system is on, only the DRL are on. The taillamps, sidemarker lamps,
instrument panel lights, and other lamps will not be on.
When it begins to get dark, the automatic headlamp system switches from DRL to
the headlamps.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp control to O and then release. For
vehicles first sold in Canada, off will only work when the vehicle is parked.
This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal a driver in front
of you that you want to pass. It works even if the headlamps are in the automatic
position...
When the exterior lamp control is set to AUTO and it is dark enough outside,
the headlamps come on automatically.
There is a light sensor on top of the instrument panel...
Other information:
The charging system light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned on, but
the engine is not running, as a check to show the light is working. It should go
out when the engine is started.
If the light stays on, or comes on while driving, there may be a problem with
the electrical charging system...
Caution
Lack of proper engine oil maintenance can damage the engine. Driving with
the engine oil low can also damage the engine. The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Check the oil level as soon as possible. Add oil if required,
but if the oil level is within the operating range and the oil pressure is still
low, have the vehicle serviced...
