Headlamps
A rocker type switch is located on the left side of the instrument panel
(IP). The rocker type switch controls the headlamps. One switch position turns
ON the following lamps:
The second switch position turns ON the headlamps in addition to all
of the above lamps.
An IP lamp dimmer control is provided in order to vary the intensity
of the IP lamps. Turn the control past the full bright detent in order to
turn ON the courtesy lamps.
The under hood lamp is designed to turn ON under the following conditions:
| • | When the hood is raised |
| • | When the parking or headlamp switch is ON |
Fog Lamp Switch (Chevrolet Z-24)
The fog lamp switch is located in the dimmer switch assembly. The fog
lamps will turn ON if the following conditions exist:
| • | The ignition switch is in the RUN position. |
| • | The fog lamp switch is in the ON position with the high beams
OFF. |
The following components must be ON when the fog lamps are turned ON
(with the headlamps and the park lamps turned OFF):
| • | The instrument panel lamps |
The fog lamps turn OFF when the high beam head lamps are selected.
Turn Signals
The directional signal lamps are combined with the parking lamps on
the front of the vehicle. The ignition lamp switch must be ON in order to
operate the directional signal lamps with the turn signal switch. Stepping
on the brake pedal will illuminate the rear stop lamps on both sides when
the directional signal lever is in the center position. If the switch
operates either side as a directional signal, stepping on the brake pedal
will turn ON the stop lamp only on the side that is not flashing. The
flasher that is used in this circuit controls only the directional signals.
The flasher is located in the instrument panel near the steering column.
The lane-change directional signal switch is standard equipment. When
making a partial turn, such as when changing lanes, the driver has the option
of moving the switch lever to a detent stop. The signal lamps will continue
to flash as long as the lever remains in this position. The signal lamps
will cancel flashing automatically when the lever is released. Using the
detent position allows the driver to signal a shallow turn or lane change
without the possibility of the signal failing to cancel.
Moving the directional signal switch lever past the detent position
to the limit of the lever's travel for either turn will provide conventional
turn signal operation. The front side marker lamps will flash with turn
signal lamps under the following conditions:
| • | When the park lamps are OFF |
| • | When the headlamps are OFF |
When the parking lamps or the headlamps are ON, the front side marker
lamps will flash alternately with the turn signal lamps on the same side
of the vehicle.
The multi-function (turn signal) lever functions also as the headlamp
dimmer control with the headlamp switch in the ON position. The following
steps will switch the headlamps to high or low beam:
- Pull the lever toward yourself until you hear a click.
- Release the lever.
Hazard Warning Flashers
A HAZARD WARNING flasher is standard on all vehicles. Pushing the switch
control button to the right (on top of the steering column) will enable the
following actions:
| • | Disconnect the regular directional signal flasher. |
| • | Energize the hazard warning flasher. |
The hazard warning flasher will work with the ignition switch in any
position. The turn signals will not work with the hazard flasher ON. Pushing
the switch to the left will cancel the hazard warning flasher.
When the hazard warning flasher operates the directional signal lights
all of the front and the rear turn signal lamps will flash. The front side
marker lamps will also flash. If the brake pedal is depressed while the
hazard warning flasher operates, the center high mounted stop lamp illuminates
while the other lamps continue to flash.
Back-Up Lamps
The back-up lamps operate when both of the following conditions are
met:
- The ignition switch is in the RUN position.
- The transaxle is in the REVERSE position.
Placing the shift lever in the REVERSE position closes a switch located
on the transaxle assembly. Closing the switch turns the back-up lamps ON.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime running lamps (DRL) are standard on all automobiles that are
sold in Canada and the United States. The daytime running lamps improve the
visibility of the vehicle when viewed from the front in daylight. The
normal DRL system utilizes high beam headlamps at reduced voltage. A
DRL control module located in the engine compartment supplies the reduced
voltage.
Applying the parking brake before turning the ignition switch to the
ON position overrides the DRL feature.
The DRL's display the following conditions when the ignition switch
is in the ON position and the parking brake is in the OFF position:
| • | Unaffected by any further operation of the park brake |
A DRL indicator in the IP cluster alerts the driver to the DRL system
operation when the following conditions exist:
| • | The ignition is in the ON position. |
| • | The parking brake is disengaged. |
