Automatic Headlights If Equipped
This system automatically turns the headlights on or off
according to ambient light levels. To turn the system ON,
turn the end of the multifunction lever to the AUTO
position (third detent). When the system is on, the
headlight time delay feature is also on. This means the
headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK position. To turn the
Automatic System OFF, turn the end of the multifunction
lever out of the AUTO position.
NOTE: The engine must be running before the head-
lights will turn on in the automatic mode.
Headlights with Wipers (Available with Auto
Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on
approximately 10 seconds after the wipers are turned ON
if the multifunction lever is placed in the AUTO position.
In addition, the headlights will turn off when the wipers
are turned OFF if they were turned ON by this feature.
The Headlights with Wipers feature can be turned on or
off through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) (if equipped). Refer to ”Headlights With Wipers,”
under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Fea-
tures)” under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center” in
Section 4.
Headlight Time Delay If Equipped
This feature is particularly useful when exiting your
vehicle in an unlit area. It provides the safety of headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds after turning the
ignition switch to the LOCK position.
To activate the delay, turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK position while the headlights are still on. Then,
turn OFF the headlights within 45 seconds. The delay
interval begins when you turn OFF the headlights. Only
the headlights will illuminate during this time.
