the
DRL
and the twilight sentinel is
located in the center of
the
fiont defogger grrlle.
pf
you cover
the sensor, it will read “dark”
and
the lamps will come on.
If
the manual park lamp control has been left
on,
the
exterior lamps will
turn
off
approximately
10
minutes
after the ignition
is
turned to
LOCK
or
ACCESSORY.
This protects draining the battery
in
case you have
accidently
left
the headlamps or parkmg lamps
on.

you need
to
purposely leave the Imps
on
for
more than
10
minutes,
use
the manual control
knob
to
turn
the
lamps back on.
To
delay
the
lamps

automatically brighten when it becomes light outside.

on
the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and
to
the lamp contr~l
knob
when a door
is
opened or
if
you

RKE
transmitter button. Since the illuminated
entry system has
a
photocell, this means that it must
be dark outside
in
order for

off
approximately
20
seconds after the last door is closed or
after the ignition key

is
fully automatic. When
the
light
sensor reads darkness outside,
the
instrument panel
lights can
be
adjusted. Backlighting to the instrument
panel will
also
turn
on.
