Autolight system (if so equipped)
The autolight system allows the headlights to be
set so they turn on and off automatically. The
autolight system can:
Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail,
license plate and instrument panel lights au-
tomatically when it is dark.
Turn off all the lights when it is light.
Keep all the lights on for 45 seconds after
you place the ignition switch in the OFF
position and all doors are closed.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO posi-
tion
1
.
2. Push the push-button ignition switch to the
ON position.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the
headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position and a door is opened and left open, the
headlights remain ON for 5 minutes. If another
door is opened during the 5 minutes, then the 5
minute timer is reset.
Toturn the autolight system off, turn the switch to
the OFF,
,or position.
Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolightsensor located onthe top side
of the instrument panel. The autolight sen-
sor controls the autolight; if it is covered,
the autolight sensor reacts as if it is dark
out and the headlights will illuminate. If
this occurs while parked with the engine
off and the ignition switchplaced inthe ON
position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.
