If you move the lever all the way to the right, the lamps
will remain on for approximately three minutes after
the ignition has been turned to OFF. If you move
the lever so it is barely on, the lamps will go off quickly
when you turn the ignition switch out of OFF. You can
adjust the delay time from only a few seconds to about
three minutes.
If it is dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
®
lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended because it has become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps. Turning on the Twilight Sentinel
®
or
turning the exterior lamp control to the headlamp
position will remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message.
Light Sensor
The light sensor for the DRL and the Twilight Sentinel
®
is located in the center of the front defogger grille.
If you cover the sensor, it will read “dark” and the
exterior lamps or the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will be displayed whenever the ignition is on.
