February 27, 2025

The light switch on a 2010 Chrysler 300, located on the left side of the instrument panel, controls the parking lights, instrument panel lights, and headlights. It has the following functions:

1. Parking Light and Instrument Panel Light Operation – Turning the switch to the first detent activates these lights.
2. Headlight Operation – Rotating the switch to the second detent turns on the headlights.
3. Automatic Headlights (if equipped) – Rotating the switch counterclockwise to the "AUTO" position enables automatic control of headlights based on ambient light levels.
4. Headlight Time Delay – When enabled, this feature keeps the headlights on for up to 90 seconds after turning off the ignition for added safety in dark areas.

The engine must be running for the automatic headlights to function.
