your exterior lamps on after about 25 seconds of wiper operation.
Lamps On Reminder
If you open the door while leaving the lamps on, except when using
twilight sentinel, you will hear
a warning tone.
Interior Lamps
Turn the headlamp switch past HI to turn on the interior lamps.
Twilight Sentinel
The control is next to the headlamp switch. It automatically switches your
lamps
on and off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate the twilight
sentinel, leave the lamp switch
off and move the control to any position
but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lamps will remain on
for 180 seconds after you turn your engine off. If you move the control so
it is just on, the lamps will go off quickly when you turn off your engine.
You can change this delay time from only a few seconds to 180 seconds.
