Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, your
automatic headlamp system will turn on
your headlamps at the normal bright-
ness and will also illuminate the tail-
lamps, side-markers, parking lamps and
instrument panel lights. The radio lights
will also dim.
The system has a light sensor located
on top of the instrument panel. Be sure
it is not covered, or the automatic head-
lamps will be on whenever the ignition is
on. The system may also turn on your
headlamps when driving through a park-
ing garage, heavy overcast weather or a
tunnel. This is normal.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

VUE’s horn controls are located on the
steering wheel. For optimum sound,
press either one of the bugle icons
located in the center area of the steering
wheel.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
