is active, tail lights on your vehicle will
not be on. It is necessary at dusk to
turn on your headlights. Failure to do
so could cause an accident injuring
yourself and others.

to be set so they turn on and off automati-
cally. The autolamp system can turn on the
headlights automatically when it is dark,
turn off the headlights when it is light, and
keep the headlights on for up to three
minutes after you turn the key to OFF.
To set the autolamp system:
1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the
AUTO1 or AUTO2 position.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON.
3. The autolamp system automatically turns
the headlights on and off.

Shut-off delay
The length of time the headlights stay on
after the ignition is turned to OFF depends
on whether the switch is in the AUTO1 or
AUTO2 position. If the switch is in the
AUTO1 position, then the headlights stay on

turned OFF. If the switch is in the AUTO2
position, the headlights stay on approxi-
mately 3 minutes after the ignition is turned
OFF.

switch to the OFF,
,orposition.
Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the photo sensor located in the top left
side of the instrument panel. The photo
sensor controls the autolamp; if it is
covered, the photo sensor reacts as if it
is dark out and the headlights will illumi-
nate.

pleted, the turn signal cancels automati-
cally.
