Note: If low beam is switched OFF, the

beam still activated, both low and high

Autolamps
A light sensor control, mounted on the
front of the facia, monitors exterior light
levels and automatically switches the
sidelamps and low beam headlamps ON
or OFF.
The ignition system must be ON for full
automatic light operation.
When light fades towards dusk, the
sidelamps and headlamps will switch ON
automatically.
At dawn, as light increases, the sidelamps
and headlamps switch OFF automatically.
Do not cover the sensor and keep the
windshield clean. Obstructing the light in
this area of the sensor may lead to
unwanted operation of the sidelamps and
headlamps.
Windshield wiper detection
(This function only operates when
autolamps is selected.) The sidelamps
and headlamps will switch ON
automatically if the windshield wipers are
switched ON for 20 seconds or more.
Once the windshield wipers are switched
OFF, the sidelamps and headlamps will
automatically switch OFF two minutes
later.
Autolamps with Exit Delay
Three settings on the rotary collar set the
time that the headlamps will remain on
after the driver’s door has closed:
• 30 seconds.
• 60 seconds.
• 120 seconds.
The message centre will display the
change set delay AUTOLAMP DELAY
X:XX or AUTOLAMP DELAY OFF when
the autolamp delay function has been
turned OFF.
Note: If the light switch rotary collar is in
the AUTO position there will be no exit
delay and the headlamps will turn off
when the ignition system is OFF.
Door guard and puddle lamps
Door guard lamps are fitted to each door
to give warning of an open door to
passing vehicles. Puddle lamps illuminate
the step out area at night.
Each lamp comes on automatically when
the door is opened. If the door is left open
the lamps remain on for approximately 15
minutes after returning from convenience
mode to power off.
