AUTOLAMPS

WARNING

The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. You may need to

override the system if it does not turn the
headlamps on in low visibility conditions,
for example daytime fog.

When the lighting control is in the
autolamps position, the headlamps turn
on in low light situations, or when the
wipers turn on.

The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you switch the ignition off. Use
the information display controls to adjust
the period of time that the headlamps
remain on.

Note: If you switch the autolamps on, you
cannot switch the high beams on until the
system turns the low beams on.

Windshield Wiper Activated
Headlamps

When you switch the autolamps on, the
headlamps turn on within 10 seconds of
switching the wipers on. They turn off
approximately 60 seconds after you switch
the windshield wipers off.

The headlamps do not turn on with the
wipers:
•

During a single wipe.

•

When using the windshield washers.

•

If the wipers are in intermittent mode.

Note: If you switch the autolamps and the
autowipers on, the headlamps turn on when
the windshield wipers continuously operate.

switching the ignition on.
