Delayed Headlamp Illumination
Delayed Headlamp Illumination provides a period of
exterior lighting as you leave your vehicle’s area. The
feature is activated when your vehicle’s headlamps are
on due to the automatic headlamp control feature
described previously in this section, and when your
vehicle’s ignition is turned off. Your headlamps will
then remain on until the headlamp switch is moved from
OFF to the parking lamp position or until a 90 second
lighting period has ended.
If you turn off the ignition with the headlamp switch in
the parking lamp or headlamp position, the Delayed
Headlamp Illumination cycle will not occur.
You can customize the vehicle to activate Delayed
Headlamp Illumination when your vehicle’s ignition is
turned off under the conditions described above, or you
may choose not to activate this feature under any
conditions. You can turn the feature on and off when
you perform the following sequence with the doors
closed and the ignition key in RUN:
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch. While
holding the door lock switch, cycle the headlamp
switch on and then off two times.
2. Release the power door lock switch. These
operations must be carried out in a time period of
less than 10 seconds, followed by a delay period of
no more than 10 seconds.
3. Then, press and hold the power door unlock switch.
While holding the door unlock switch, turn the
headlamp switch on and then off two times. Release
the courtesy door unlock switch. These steps must be
carried out in a time period of less than 10 seconds.
After releasing the door unlock switch, a single chime
will be heard if the Delayed Headlamp Illumination
function has been disabled; two chimes will be heard if
the feature has been enabled. Disconnecting the
vehicle’s battery for up to a year will not change the
programmed operation of this feature.
