3. Rotate the headlamp switch counterclockwise
from the OFF position.
4. The autolamp will automatically turn the lamps
on and off for you.
Do not put any articles on top of the photocell that
is located in the top left corner of the instrument
panel. This photocell controls the autolamp. If you
cover it, the photocell reacts as if it is nighttime,
and the lamps turn on.
To turn the autolamp off, rotate the headlamp
switch clockwise to the OFF position.
You can set the autolamp so the headlamps stay on
for up to three minutes after you turn your vehicle
off.
The further you rotate the headlamp switch
counterclockwise, the longer the lamps will stay
on after you leave your vehicle. Similarly, if you
rotate the switch only slightly, the headlamps
stay on for only a short time after you turn
your vehicle off.
