NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the

time delay for autolight shutoff is adjust-

To turn on the autolight system:

1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO posi-

tion

᭺

2. Turn the ignition key 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 5 minutes. If another door is

opened during the 5 minutes, then the 5 minute

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 on the top

side of the instrument panel. The autolight

sensor controls the autolight; if it is cov-

ered, 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 key in the ON position, your

vehicle’s battery could become discharged.
