Rotate the headlamp control to the
first position
to turn on the
parking lamps. Rotate to the second
position
to turn on the
headlamps.
Adaptive headlamps (if equipped)
The headlamp beams move in the same direction as the steering wheel
which provides more visability when driving around curves.
Note:The system has a power-up movement check feature. When the
vehicle is started, the lamps track left to right, then back to center to
alert the driver that the system is working properly.

The autolamp system also keeps the
lights on for approximately 20
seconds or, if equipped with a

delay from 0–180 seconds, after the
ignition switch is turned to OFF. See
Message Center (if equipped)in
theDriver Controlschapter.

a fixed period of time) the exterior lamps will turn on with headlamp
control in the Autolamp position.
