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.

dimming steps. These steps will also
vary for daytime and night time
dimming.

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.
