Automatic Headlamp
System
When the exterior lamp control is set
to AUTO and it is dark enough
outside, the headlights come on
automatically.
If equipped, the light sensor is on top
of the instrument panel or on the
windscreen near the rearview mirror.
Do not cover the sensor; otherwise the
headlamps will come on when they
are not needed.
The system may also turn on the
headlamps when driving through a
parking garage or tunnel.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately. If it is
light outside when the vehicle leaves
the garage, there is a slight delay
before the automatic headlight system
turns off the headlights. During that
delay, the instrument cluster may not
be as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control is
in the full bright position. See
