Exterior Lamps Off
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 door is
opened with the ignition off.
Headlamp High/
Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low
beam to high, push the turn signal
lever all the way forward. To change
from high to low beam, pull the lever
rearward.
While the high beams are on, this
light on the instrument cluster will
also be lit.
Flash-to-Pass
To use the flash-to-pass feature,
briefly pull the turn signal lever
toward you. The high-beam
indicator flashes to indicate to the
other driver that you intend to pass.
If the low-beam headlamps are off
and the fog lamps are on, the fog

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running
lamps 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 AUTO position.
.The transmission is not in
P (Park) or the parking brake
is off.
.The parking brake is off or the
vehicle speed is greater than
13 km/h (8 mph).
When DRL are on, only the front
turn signal lamps will be on. The
parking lamps, taillamps, instrument
panel lights, or other exterior lamps
will not be on when the DRL are
being used.
When it is dark enough outside, the
front turn signal lamps turn off and
the normal low-beam headlamps
turn on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the regular lamps go off, and the
front turn signal lamps will take over.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes 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

Black plate (3,1)Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual - 2013 - crc2 - 11/8/12
Lighting 6-3
instrument panel cluster may not be
as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness knob is
in the full bright position. See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control on page 6‑6for more
information.
If it is dark enough outside and the
exterior lamp control is off, a
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See Lamp
Messages on page 5‑42.
Turning the exterior lamp control to
off a second time, or turning on the
headlamps will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message in the DIC. If the parking
lamps or the fog lamps were turned
on instead, the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message will
continue to be displayed.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior
lamp control to the off position or
shift into P (Park). The DRL will stay off until the control is toggled again
or the vehicle is shifted out of
P (Park).
This procedure applies only to
vehicles first sold in the United
States.
Twilight Sentinel

headlamp system. When activated,
this feature turns your headlamps
and parking lamps on and off by
sensing how dark it is outside.

headlamps and parking lamps will
automatically turn back off.
Twilight Sentinel may also turn on
when you drive through a dimly
lit area.

bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel dimmer is set to
full brightness. See
Instrument
Panel Illumination Control on
page 6‑6.
