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

Cornering Lights
The light sensor for
the twilight sentinel is
located
in the center of
the front defogger
grille. If
you cover the
sensor, it will read
“dark” and your lights
will come on.
The cornering lights come
on when you signal a turn when the headlights
or parking lights are on. This will provide more light for cornering.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only)
The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Running
Lights”
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehicle
more visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL
are required on new vehicles sold in Canada.
Your DRL work with a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.

Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meet all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
-
these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your. lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers.
In addition, most
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your own state
or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.
