Exterior Lighting Battery Saver - Cadillac 1996 Eldorado Owner's Manual

Twilight Sentinei Light Sensor
The control is next to the
headlamp knob. It
automatically switches the
lamps on and off by sensing
how dark it is outside.
To operate the twilight sentinel, leave the lamp knob
off and move the TWILIGHT control to any position
but OFF.
If you move the control all the way to the right, the
lamps will remain on for approximately three minutes
after the ignition has been turned to the OFF or LOCK
position. If you move the control so
it
is just on, the
lamps will go off quickly when you turn the ignition
switch out of RUN. You can adjust the delay time from
only a few seconds to three minutes.
The light sensor for the DRL and the twilight sentinel is
located i n the center ofthe front defogger grille. If you cover
the sensor,
it
will read "dark" and the lamps will come on.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver

or parking lamps on. Use the control knob to turn the
lamps back
on
indefinitely. (The control knob must be
cycled off and then on to turn the lamps back on.) To
delay the lamps from turning off. see "Twilight
