Automatic Light Control (ALC)
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic light sensor
on top
of
the instrument panel under the defroster grill,
so
be sure it
is
not
covered which will cause the
nighttime lights to be
on
continuously.
When it is dark enough outside, your ALC will turn
on
your low-beam headlamps at the normal brightness
along with other lamps such as the taillamps,
sidemarker, park lamps and instrument panel lights.
There is a 20-second delay in the transition between
daytime and nighttime operation
of
the DRL and the
ALC systems.
If
the light sensor senses a reduction in
lighting that lasts longer than 20 seconds,
it
will activate
the nighttime lamps.
If
you are driving through a
parking garage, heavy overcast weather, a tunnel or
fueling your vehicle in a low light area, the ALC will
turn on your low-beam headlamps at a normal
brightness along with the taillamps, sidemarker, park
lamps and the instrument panel lights.
The
radio lights
will be dimmer.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog
Lamps
(If
Equipped)
The
button for your fog
lamps is beside the
instrument panel
intensity control.
Push
the
button
to
turn the fog lamps on. An indicator
light on the button will glow when the fog lamps
are
on.
When using fog lamps, the parking lamps or low-beam
headlamps must be on.
The fog lamps will turn
off
whenever the high-beam
headlamps are turned
on.
When the high beams are
turned off, the fog lamps will come on again.
