Automatic Headlamp System
When necessary, you may turn off the automatic headlamp system and the DRL feature by following
these steps:
-
Turn the ignition to RUN.
-
Press the DOME OVERRIDE button four times within six seconds. After the fourth press of the
button, a chime will sound informing you the system is off. The system will revert back to the automatic
mode when the ignition is turned off and on again.
-
To return to the automatic mode, push the DOME OVERRIDE button four times within six seconds
(the chime will sound), or turn the ignition off and on again.

Manual on page 2-55. [Back Up]
Daytime Running Lights
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. The DRL system will come on when the following conditions are met:
-
the ignition is on,
-
the headlamp switch is in automatic headlamp mode,
-
the automatic transmission is not in PARK (P),
-
the light sensor determines it is daytime and
-
the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will be on. The
tail lamps, side marker and other lamps won’t illuminate. Shifting the transmission into PARK (P) will also allow you to idle the vehicle with the DRL off. The DRL will stay off until you release the parking brake or shift the transmission out of PARK (P).

Manual on page 2-55. [Back Up]
Daytime Running Lights

these steps:

-

button, a chime will sound informing you the system is off. The system will revert back to the automatic
mode when the ignition is turned off and on again.

Daytime Running Lights
The two lights next to your fog lamps are your
Daytime Running Lights or DRL. The DRL's only come on when:
-
the ignition is on,
-
the headlamp switch is in automatic headlamp mode,
-
the automatic transmission is not in PARK (P),
-
the light sensor determines it is daytime and
-
the parking brake is released.
There is no way for you to turn them on
manually. They should not operate under any circumstances during
nighttime conditions.

Manual on page 2-55. [Back Up]
Fog Lamps
You cannot run your fog lamps and high beams at the
same time. In some states it is illegal.

Manual on page 2-56. [Back Up]
Auxiliary Lamp Switch
If your Avalanche has this feature, this button includes
wiring provisions for a dealer or a qualified service center to install an auxiliary roof lamp.
This button is located on the center of the
instrument panel near the comfort controls.
When the button wiring is connected to an auxiliary roof-mounted lamp, pressing the button will activate
the lamp and illuminate an indicator light near the button. Pressing the button again will turn off the
roof mounted lamp. If your Avalanche has this button, it may be equipped
with the snow plow prep package.
You can find more information in your Owner's
Manual on page 2-57. [Back Up]
Dome Lights
If the interior lighting is not coming on when
someone opens the door, be sure that the DOME OVERRIDE button has not
been pushed in by mistake. Press the button once while the door is
open. If the lights still don't come on contact your local
Chevrolet dealer.
