will turn off approximately 60 seconds
after you switch the windshield wipers off.
This feature does not turn on the exterior
lamps:
•
during a mist wipe
• while the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition
• if the wipers are in automatic or
intermittent modes.

autowipers switched on the low beam
headlamps will turn on automatically when
the windshield wipers operate continuously.
Note: You may have to manually switch
the headlamps on in severe weather
