Autolight system (if so equipped)
The autolight system allows the headlights to be
set so they turn on and off automatically. The
autolight system can:
cTurn on the headlights, front parking, tail,
license plate and instrument panel lights au-
tomatically when it is dark.
cTurn off all the lights when it is light.
cKeep all the lights on for 45 seconds after
you turn the key to OFF and all doors are
closed.NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the
time delay for autolight shutoff can be ad-
justed. See “Personalized settings menu”
(vehicles with monochrome screen) or “Ve-
hicle electronic systems” (vehicles with
color screen) in the “Display screen, heater,
air conditioner and audio systems” section
later in this manual.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO posi-
tion
s1.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the
headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is turned OFF and a
door is opened and left open, the headlights
remain on for 5 minutes. During that 5 minutes:
cif all doors are closed, the headlights remain
on for 45 seconds, then turn off.
cif another door is opened, then the 5 minute
timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch to
the OFF,
,orposition.Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolight sensor
s1located on top of
the instrument panel. The autolight 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 key in the ON position, your vehi-
cle’s battery could become discharged.
