Setting autolamp
1. Make sure the headlamp control
is in the OFF position. Leaving the
headlamp control on will override
the autolamp.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON
position or start the vehicle.
3. Slide the delay control all the way
to the left.
The further you move the knob to
the right, the longer the headlamps
stay on after the ignition is turned
to the OFF position. The autolamp
will keep the headlamps on for a maximum of three minutes after the
ignition is turned to OFF.
4. The autolamp automatically turns the lamps on and off. The indicator
light will illuminate when the headlamps turn on.
Automatic dimming rear view mirror
The autolamp/automatic dimming
mirror is equipped with an
automatic dimming feature. This
feature will change from the normal
state to the non-glare ªactiveº state
when bright lights (glare) reach the
mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it will
adjust automatically to minimize glare.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal position whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) (when the mirror is in the ON position).
This helps to ensure a bright clear view in the mirror when backing up.
