The automatic light control sensor is on top of the passenger’s side
instrument panel.
Do not place anything on the instrument panel, and/or do not affix
anything on the windshield to block this sensor.
The lights automatically turn off when the driver’s door is opened
with the ignition key turned to the ”ACC” or ”LOCK” position. To
turn them on again, turn the ignition key to the ”ON” position, or turn
the headlight switch off and then twist the knob until the first or
second clickstop. If you are going to park for over one week, make
sure the headlight switch is off.
