The control is next to the headlight switch. It switches your lights on and
off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the light switch
off and move the control to any position but off. r
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lights will remain on for
90 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control almost

all the way in the other direction, so it is just on, the lights will go off
quickly when you turn off your engine. You can change this delay time
from only a few seconds to
90 seconds.
