1998 NISSAN QUEST light

The autolamp system allows the headlights
to be set so they turn on and off automati-
cally. The autolamp system can turn on the
headlights automatically when it is dark,
turn off the headlights when it is light, and
keep the headlights on for up to three
minutes after you turn the key to OFF.
To set the autolamp system:
1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the
OFF position. If the headlight switch is in
the
orposition, the autolamp
system is canceled.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON.3. Use the autolamp switch to activate the
autolamp feature. It is to the left of the
steering wheel.
4. Turn the switch to the right. A slight
detent in the switch indicates it has been
turned past the off position. After the
switch is turned past the detent, the
autolamp automatically turns the lamps
on and off.
Shut-off delay
The length of time the autolamps stay on
after the ignition is turned to OFF depends
on how far the switch is turned to the right.
If the switch is turned all the way to the right,
the headlights stay on about three minutes
after the ignition is turned to OFF. If the
switch is turned only a little way to the right,
the headlights may stay on for less than a
minute.
To turn the autolamp system off, turn the
switch all the way to the left until the detent
is felt.Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the photo sensor located in the top
right side of the instrument panel. The
photo sensor controls the autolamp; if it
is covered, the photo sensor reacts as if
it is dark out and the headlights will
illuminate.
