2-44 Twilight Sentinel


Twilight sentinel turns the
headlamps, taillamps and
parking lamps on and off
by sensing how dark it
is outside.
To operate it, leave the headlamp switch off and move
the twilight sentinel control toward MAX. The control is
located to the left of the steering column.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lamps will
remain on for three minutes after you turn off your engine. If
you move the control toward MIN, the lamps will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can set this delay
time for only a few seconds or up to three minutes.
Light Sensor
Your twilight sentinel and daytime running lamps work
with the light sensor on top of the instrument panel.
Don't cover it up. If you do it will read ªdarkº and the
headlamps will come on.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
You can brighten or dim your instrument cluster, radio and
climate control displays and control lights by rotating the
INTERIOR LIGHTS control between LO and HI when
your lights are on. Rotate the control all the way to HI and
you will turn on the interior courtesy lamps.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps go on. They
make it easy for you to enter and leave the car. To turn
on these lamps, rotate the INTERIOR LIGHTS knob all
the way to HI.
