Autolight system
The autolight system allows the headlights to be set so they turn on and off automatically. The autolight system can:
- Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail, license plate and instrument panel lights automatically when it is dark.
- Turn off all the lights when it is light.
- Keep all the lights on for a period of time after you place the ignition switch in the OFF position and all doors are closed.
To turn on the autolight system:
- For USA: Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position O1 .
For CAN: Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO O1 or position. - Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
- The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position and a door is opened and left open, the headlights remain on for a period of time. If another door is opened while the headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off:
For USA: Turn the switch to the OFF, , or position.
For CAN: Turn the switch to the position.
The headlights will turn on automatically at twilight (if so equipped) or in rainy weather (when the windshield wiper is operated continuously).
If the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF position and one of the doors is opened and this condition is continued, the headlights remain on for 5 minutes.
Be sure you do not put anything on top of the autolight sensor O1 located in the top side of the instrument panel.
