6-4 Lighting

Automatic Headlamp

System

When it is dark enough outside, the

automatic headlamp system turns

on the headlamps at the normal

brightness, along with the taillamps,

sidemarker, parking lamps, and the

instrument panel lights. The radio

lights will also be dim.

To turn off the automatic headlamp

system, turn the exterior lamps

switch to the off position and then

release it. For vehicles first sold in

Canada, the transmission must be

in the P (Park) position before the

automatic headlamp system can be

turned off.

The vehicle has a light sensor

located on the top of the instrument

panel which regulates when the

automatic headlamps turn on. Do

not cover the sensor, otherwise the

headlamps will come on whenever

the ignition is on.

The system may also turn on the

headlamps when driving through a

parking garage or heavy overcast

weather. This is normal.

There is a delay in the transition

between the daytime and nighttime

operation of the Daytime Running

Lamps (DRL) and the automatic

headlamp systems so that driving

under bridges or bright overhead

street lights does not affect the

system. The DRL and automatic

headlamp system are only affected

when the light sensor detects a

change in lighting lasting longer

than the delay.

If the vehicle is started in a dark

garage, the automatic headlamp

system comes on immediately.

Once the vehicle leaves the garage,

it takes approximately one minute

for the automatic headlamp system

to change to DRL if it is bright

enough outside. During that delay,

the instrument panel cluster may not

be as bright as usual. Make sure the

instrument panel brightness control

is in the full bright position. See

Instrument Panel Illumination

Control on page 6‑7.
