Chevrolet Captiva Owners Manual: Exterior Lighting

The exterior lighting system of the Chevrolet Captiva 2013 is designed for safety and convenience, incorporating several lighting features controlled from the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. The control knob can be turned to different positions to manage the exterior lamps. These include the "Off" position, which turns off all exterior lamps, and an automatic setting that adjusts the lights based on ambient lighting conditions.

The headlamp system includes high and low beam settings, which can be toggled to ensure adequate road illumination under various driving conditions. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) that enhance visibility during daylight hours. These automatically turn on when the engine is running and the vehicle is in motion.

The hazard warning flashers can be activated to alert other drivers in case of an emergency or roadside stop. The switch for these is typically located on the dashboard and should be used whenever the vehicle poses a potential hazard to other road users. The turn signals and lane-change indicators help communicate your driving intentions to other drivers, improving safety on the road.

Fog lamps, if equipped, are also controlled from this panel and provide additional lighting in adverse weather conditions such as fog or heavy rain, where standard headlights might be less effective. The fog lamps are designed to reduce glare and improve visibility close to the ground.
