exterior lamps will
turn
off approximately 10 minutes
after the ignition is turned to LOCK or ACCESSORY.

accidently left the headlamps or parking lamps on. If
you need to purposely leave the lamps on for more than
10 minutes with the ignition
in
LOCK or ACCESSORY,
turn
the manual control knob
off
and then back on. To
delay the lahps from turning off, see "Twilight
Sentinel" earlier in this section.
