and the front parking, tail, license plate,
and instrument panel lights will come
on.
2Rotate the switch to theposition,
and the headlights will come on and all
the other lights remain on.

Autolight system (if so equipped)
The autolight system allows the headlights
to be set so they turn on and off automati-
cally. The autolight system can:
• Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail,license plate and instrument panel lights
automatically when it is dark.
• Turn off all the lights when it is light.
• Keep all the lights on for a period of time af ter you place the ignition switch in the
OFF position and all doors are closed. To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO
position
O1.
2. Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and a door is opened and lef t
open, the headlights remain on for a period
of time. If another door is opened while the
headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition.
The headlights will turn on automatically at
twilight or in rainy weather (when the wind-
shield wiper is operated continuously).
If the ignition switch is pushed to the OFF
position and one of the doors is opened
and this condition is continued, the head-
lights remain on for 5 minutes. Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the autolight sensor
O1located in the
top side of the instrument panel. The au-
tolight sensor controls the autolight; if it
is covered, the autolight sensor reacts as
if it is dark out and the headlights will
illuminate. If this occurs while parked
with the engine off and the switch in the
ON position, your vehicle's battery could
become discharged.

Intelligent Key button operation
light
The light blinks only when you press any
button on the Intelligent Key. The light illu-
mination only signifies that the key fob has
transmitted a signal. You may look and/or
listen to verif y that the vehicle has per-
formed the intended operation. The num-
ber of blinks identifies each registered key
(i.e. 1 blink = 1st key,...,4 blinks = 4th key) for
your own identification purposes.If the light does not blink, your battery may
be too weak to communicate to the ve-
hicle. If this occurs, the battery may need to
be replaced. For additional information re-
garding the replacement of a battery, refer
to “Battery replacement” in the “Do-it-
yourself ” section of this manual.

To help prevent the vehicle from moving
unexpectedly by erroneous operation of
the Intelligent Key or to help prevent the
vehicle from being stolen, a chime or chirp
sounds from inside and outside the vehicle

ment panel.

is displayed, be sure to check the vehicle
