It knows exactly when the headlights should be on. According to this smart car, they should be on all the time. In traffic jams, on deserted desert Interstate, and backing out of the driveway. However, the Grand Am knows the difference between daytime lights and nighttime lights. Daytime lights are the small ones near the grille.
Nighttime lights are the bigger, centrally-located ones.
There's a big difference. And then, there are the fog lights. The Grand Am doesn't know when to use the fog lights, and evidently, most drivers of the Grand Am don't know when to use the fog lights either. This smart car knows when to use the daytime lights, and when to use the nighttime lights because it has Automatic Light Control. The lights are on all the time, but the car knows what type of lights to have on and the proper time to have them on.
