When the lighting control is in the autolamps

If equipped, the following also activate when
the lighting control is in the autolamps

information display:
•
Configurable daytime running lamps.
• Automatic high beam control.
• Adaptive headlamp control. The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you switch the ignition off. Use the

period of time that the headlamps remain
on. See Information Displays (page 107).
Note: With the headlamps in the autolamps
position, you cannot switch the high beam
headlamps on until the autolamps system

Windshield Wiper Activated Headlamps
The windshield wiper activated headlamps
turn on within 10 seconds when you switch
the windshield wipers on and the lighting
control is in the autolamps position. They
turn off approximately 60 seconds after you
switch the windshield wipers off.
The headlamps will not turn on by wiper
activation:
• During a mist wipe.
• When the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition.

If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps will
automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.
