Autolight system
The autolight system allows the headlights to turn on and off automatically. The autolight system can:
● Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail,
license plate and instrument panel lights automatically
when it is dark.
● Turn off all the lights when it is light.
● Keep all the lights on for a period of time after
you place the ignition switch in the OFF
position and all doors are closed.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the time delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted.
See “Vehicle information display” in this section.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position
1 .
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the
headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is turned OFF and a door is opened and left open, the headlights remain ON for a period of time. If another door is opened while the headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch to
the OFF, , or
position.
Be sure you do not put anything on top of the autolight sensor located in the top side 1 of the instrument panel. The autolight sensor controls the autolight; if it is covered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is dark out and the headlights will illuminate.
If this occurs while parked with the engine off and the ignition switch placed in the ON position, your vehicle’s battery could become discharged.
