Automatic Headlights — If Equipped

This system automatically turns the headlights on or off

according to ambient light levels. To turn the system on,

rotate the headlight switch counterclockwise to the A

(AUTO) position. 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 place the

ignition in the OFF position. To turn the automatic

system off, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO

position.
NOTE:

The engine must be running before the head-

lights will come on in the automatic mode.

Headlights On With Wipers (Available With
Automatic Headlights Only)

When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on

approximately 10 seconds after the wipers are turned on

if the headlight switch 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 On with Wipers feature can be enabled or

disabled. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center

(EVIC)/Customer-Programmable Features” in “Under-

standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

Headlight Time Delay

This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination

for up to 90 seconds when leaving your vehicle in an

unlit area.
To activate the delay feature, place the ignition in the OFF

position while the headlights are still on. Then, turn off

the headlights within 45 seconds. The delay interval

begins when the headlight switch is turned off.
If you turn the headlights or parking lights on, or place

the ignition in the RUN position again, the system will

cancel the delay.
