Your car has daytime running lights, meaning the lights come on no matter what position the toggle switch on the dash says (on or off.) There is a way to disable them (http://www.lightsout.org/disable.html#GMgen) but as a safety feature you probably would want to leave them on. A recent study suggests that you are 38% less likely to have a head on collision if you have your day time running lights enabled.

If you apply the parking brake the automatic headlights will not come on; release the parking brake and they will come on again.
