low visibility driving conditions. Also, the
autolamps switch position may not activate
the headlamps in all low visibility conditions,
such as daytime fog. Always ensure that your
headlamps are switched to auto or on, as
appropriate, during all low visibility
conditions. Failure to do so may result in a
collision. When the lighting control is in the autolamps

position, you cannot switch the high beam
headlamps on until the autolamps system
turns the low beam headlamps on. 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 is in the autolamps position. They
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.

automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.
