When driving at dawn:
Precision activation:
headlights on or off only when necessary. For instance, if it is dark when the car's
engine is started, NightVision instantly turns on the headlights, yet when the
vehicle is driven under an overpass in daylight, the headlights will not turn on.
Even more importantly, when passing through a very brightly lit area at night, the
headlights will not switch off. However, if you drive into a dark parking structure
during the day, NightVision will turn on the headlights within five seconds of
entering the structure.
When you park your car at night:
duration of your choice between 1 sec. and 2.5 min. (factory preset to 30 sec.; to
change the duration, see User-selectable features on pages 21-25) after you turn
off the engine to light your path away from the vehicle.
RainCheck™— rainy day safety feature:
— day or night — NightVision automatically turns on the headlights and keeps
them on for as long as the wipers are on. This feature delivers an extra margin of
driving safety since it increases the vehicle's visibility to all other drivers on the
road. This is a real battery-saving feature since you don't need to remember to
turn off the headlights after driving in the rain during daylight hours.
Manual control of headlights:
simply turn on your vehicle's headlight switch.
