Chevrolet corvette 2000 用户手册

With Twilight Sentinel turned on, you can idle the
vehicle with the lamps off, even when it’s dark outside.
First set the parking brake while the ignition is in OFF
or LOCK. Then start the vehicle. The lamps will stay off
until you release the parking brake.

Twilight Sentinel also provides exterior illumination as
you leave the vehicle. If Twilight Sentinel has turned on
the lamps when you turn off the ignition, your lamps
will remain on until:
D The headlamp switch is moved from OFF to the

parking lamp position, or

D a delay time that you select has elapsed.
See “Driver Information Center (DIC)” in the Index to
select the delay time that you want. You can also select
no delay time.

If you turn off the ignition with the headlamp switch 
in the parking lamp or headlamp position, the Twilight
Sentinel delay will not occur. The lamps will turn off as
soon as the switch is turned off.

As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.

This knob controls 
the brightness of the 
instrument panel lights
when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on.

Push and release the knob and it will pop out. 
Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights or
counterclockwise to dim them.

The instrument panel brightness knob has an added
feature called parade mode to assist you in seeing
certain instrument panel controls if your headlamps are
on in the daylight. Before turning the courtesy lamps on
by turning the knob all the way clockwise, the radio,
Driver Information Center (DIC) display and heating
and air conditioning controls will come on at their
maximum brightness. This will occur only with the
parking lamps or headlamps on. Turn the knob
counterclockwise to dim the instrument panel lights.
