driver's liking, for the headlamps to turn on for the amount of
ambient light. If the driver desires the headlamps to come on

then the following procedure should be performed to satisfy the
driver's requirement.

on. Pressing the Autolamp button will enter the new setting and
return the mirror back to normal operation.

setting and return the mirror back to the normal operation.
