Headlamp controls LINCOLN MKC 2017 Owners Manual

When the lighting control is in the autolamps
position, the headlamps will automatically
turn on in low light situations or when wipers
activate.
If equipped, the following also activate when
the lighting control is in the autolamps
position and you switch them on in the
information display:
•
Configurable daytime running lamps.
• Automatic high beam control.
• Adaptive headlamp control.
The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you switch the ignition off. Use the
information display controls to adjust the
period of time that the headlamps remain
on. See Information Displays (page 108).
Note: With the headlamps in the autolamps
position, you cannot switch the high beam
headlamps on until the autolamps system
turns the headlamps on. Note:
If the lighting control switch is in the
autolamps position and the headlamps are
off, the parking lamps will light as signature
lighting. If the headlamps are on, or the
lighting control switch is in the parking lamps
position, the parking lamps will not light as
signature lighting.
Windshield Wiper Activated Headlamps
The windshield wiper activated headlamps
turn on within 10 seconds when you switch
the windshield wipers on and the lighting
control switch is in the autolamps position.
They will turn off approximately 60 seconds
after you switch the windshield wipers off.
The headlamps will not turn on by wiper
activation:
• During a mist wipe.
• When the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition.
• If the wipers are in intermittent mode.
Note: If you have autolamps and autowipers
switched on, the low beam headlamps will
turn on automatically when the windshield
wipers operate continuously. INSTRUMENT LIGHTING DIMMER
