The light sensor for the DRL and the twilight sentinel is
located in the center of
the fiont defogger grrlle.
pf
you cover
the sensor, it will read "dark" and the lamps will come on.
If the manual park lamp control has been left on, the
exterior lamps will turn off approximately 10 minutes
after the ignition is turned to LOCK or ACCESSORY.
This protects draining the battery in case you have
accidently
left
the headlamps or parkmg lamps on. If
you need to purposely leave the I m p s on for more than
10 minutes, use the manual control knob to turn the
lamps back on. To delay
the
lamps from turning off, see
"Twilight Sentinel" earlier in this section.
Cluster lighting as well as instrument panel lighting
automatically dims when it becomes dark outside.
When it's dark, the brightness control can be manually
adjusted. Cluster lighting and instrument panel lighting
automatically brighten when it becomes light outside.
The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to
the lamp contr~l knob when a door is opened or if you
press a
R K E
transmitter button. Since the illuminated
entry system has a photocell, this means that it must
be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps or
backlighting to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off
approximately 20 seconds after the last door is closed or
after the ignition key is placed in the ignition.
This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while
the
headlamps are on.
This feature operates with the light sensor for the
twilight sentinel and is fully automatic. When the light
sensor reads darkness outside,
the
instrument panel
lights can be adjusted. Backlighting to the instrument
panel will also turn on.
