AUTOLAMPS
WARNING: In severe weather conditions, it may be necessary to
switch your headlamps on manually.
Note: If the vehicle is equipped with autolamps, it will have the
windshield wiper rainlamp feature. When the windshield wipers are
turned to low- or high-speed wiping during daylight, and the headlamp
control is in the autolamp position, the exterior lamps will turn on after a
brief delay and will remain on until the wipers are turned off.
The autolamp system provides light
sensitive automatic on-off control
of the exterior lights normally
controlled by the headlamp control.
The headlamps will remain on for a
period of time after you switch the
ignition off. You can adjust the time
delay using the message center
in the instrument cluster.
See Information displays.

Note: If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is
installed, the dimmer will set the illuminated components to the
maximum setting automatically.
