Mercury 1996 Sable Manual page 137

You can set the autolamp so the headlamps stay
on for up to three minutes after you turn your
vehicle off.
To keep the lamps on after you leave your
vehicle:
Turn the thumbwheel as far into the MAX
range as you want.
The further you move the thumbwheel into
the DELAY area (toward the MAX position),
the longer the lamps will stay on after you
leave your vehicle. Similarly, if you move the
thumbwheel only slightly into the DELAY
area, your lamps will stay on only for a
moment after you turn your vehicle off.
Lighting Up the Interior and Instrument
Panel
With the light knob in the parking lamps or the
headlamps position, you can brighten or dim the
lights in the instrument panel. To do this, use
the thumbwheel to the left of the steering wheel.
This wheel also turns on the interior lights with
the light switch on or off.
