Lighting 6-3
There is a delay in the transition
between the daytime and nighttime
operation of the automatic
headlamp system so that driving
under bridges or bright overhead
street lights does not affect the
system. The automatic headlamp
system is only affected when the
light sensor sees a change in
lighting lasting longer than the
delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately.
Once the vehicle leaves the garage,
it takes approximately 30 seconds
for the automatic headlamp system
to change if it is light outside. During
that delay, the instrument cluster
may not be as bright as usual. Make
sure the instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position.
