Park Lamp Override Feature
If the Twilight Sentinel lighting is active, it can be
disabled by turning on the manual parking lamps. The
lighting will be disabled until the ignition is moved from
RUN or until the outside light level becomes daylight.
The outside light level changing to daylight will cause
the Twilight Sentinel feature to deactivate. If it becomes
dark again, the parking lamps will have to be turned on
again. (If the parking lamps are already on, they will
have to be turned off, then back on to disable twilight).
The wiper
-activated headlamps will override the
twilight disable feature.
Light Sensor
Your Twilight Sentinel and
DRL work with the light
sensor located on top of the
instrument panel.
Don't cover it up. If you do, the sensor will read ªdarkº
and the Twilight Sentinel lighting will turn on.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Intensity/
Brightness Control
The brightness of the

be adjusted by moving the
INTERIOR lever between

The instrument panel lights will be on only when the
parking lamps are on. The interior courtesy lamps can
be turned on by sliding the INTERIOR lever all the way
to the top, to HI.
