Twilight Sentinel

This feature automatically turns the
lamps on and off. A light sensor on
top of the instrument panel makes
®
the Twilight Sentinel work, so be
sure it is not covered.
®
With Twilight Sentinel the following
will happen:
• When it is dark enough outside,
the front turn signal lamps (DRL)
go off, and the headlamps and
parking lamps come on. The other
lamps that come on with the
headlamps also come on.
• When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off, and the
front turn signal lamps (DRL)
come on, as long as the exterior
lamp switch is in the AUTO
position.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it is
light outside when the vehicle leaves
the garage, there is a slight delay
before the automatic headlamp
system changes to the DRL. During
that delay, the instrument panel
cluster may not be as bright as usual.
Make sure the instrument panel
brightness control is in full bright
position. See Instrument Panel
Illumination Control on page 5-7 for
more information.
The vehicle can be idled with the
lamps off, even when it is dark
outside. After starting the vehicle,
turn the exterior lamp control to off,
then release it. The lamps will remain
off until the control is turned to off
again.
®
Twilight Sentinel also provides
exterior illumination as you leave the
®
vehicle. If Twilight Sentinel has
turned on the lamps when the
ignition is turned off, the lamps
remain on until:
• The exterior lamp control is
O
moved from to the parking
lamp position, or
• the delay time selected has
elapsed.
