Exterior Lighting Controls

Exterior Lamp Switch Operation
The exterior lamp control switch is locat-
ed on the lever to the left of the steering
column. The switch can be rotated to
each of the following four positions:
(Headlamps): Turns on the head-
lamps, parking lamps, and taillamps.
(Parking Lamps): Turns on parking
lamps and taillamps only.
AUTO: Automatic Lamp Control (ALC):
Automatically turns on Daytime Running
Lamps (DRLs) in the daytime and head-
lamps, parking lamps and taillamps at
dusk.
(Off/On): Momentary on/off switch for
the ALC.
Automatic Lamp Control
When you start the vehicle at night or in
a dark garage, the headlamps, parking
lamps and taillamps will come on imme-
diately. After driving into daylight, the
system will switch to the DRLs after
about a one-minute delay.
Also, when driving into dark tunnels or
garages, the system delays turning on
the headlamps to avoid unnecessarily
switching on and off for a short time.
The system's light sensor is located on
top of the instrument panel, under the
defroster grille. To ensure proper system
operation, avoid placing objects or stick-
ers on or near the sensor.
ALC Override
When operating in AUTO position, a
momentary turn of the switch to the
OFF/ON position will turn off the ALC
and all the exterior lights. Rotating the
switch to the OFF/ON position again will
turn the ALC on again. ALC is always
turned on at the beginning of an ignition
cycle.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
