GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in Lamp Assemblies
Exterior lamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
• A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer. LIGHTING CONTROL Off.A

Headlamp Flasher
Slightly pull the lever toward you and
release it to flash the headlamps.
AUTOLAMPS
WARNING
The autolamps switch position may
not activate the headlamps in all low
visibility conditions, such as daytime
fog. Make sure the headlamps are
switched to auto or on, as appropriate,
during all low visibility conditions. Failure
to do so may result in a crash. When the lighting control is in the
autolamps position, the headlamps
automatically turn on in low light situations
or when the wipers activate. If equipped, the following also activate
when the lighting control is in the
autolamps position and you switch them
on in the 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 information display controls to adjust
the period of time that the headlamps
remain on. See Information Displays
(page 86).
Note: With the headlamps in the
autolamps position, you cannot switch the
high beam headlamps on until the
autolamps system turns the low beam
headlamps on.
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 do not turn on by wiper
activation:
• During a mist wipe.
• When the wipers are on to clear washer
fluid during a wash condition.
• If the wipers are in intermittent mode.
Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps will
automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.

INSTRUMENT LIGHTING
DIMMER
Note:
If you disconnect and connect the
battery, or fully discharge and charge the
battery, the lighting level will switch to the
maximum setting. Use the instrument lighting dimmer to
adjust the brightness of the instrument
panel and all applicable lighting in your
vehicle.
•
Tap the top or bottom of the control
to the first detent to brighten or dim all
interior lighting incrementally.
• Press and hold the top or bottom of
the control to the first detent until you
reach the desired lighting level.
• Press and hold the top of the control
to the second detent to switch the
interior lights on.
• Press and hold the bottom of the
control to the second detent to switch
the interior lights off.
HEADLAMP EXIT DELAY
You can set the delay time to keep the
headlamps on for up to three minutes after
the ignition is switched off. Follow the steps below to change the
delay time (Steps 1 through 6 must be
done within 10 seconds):
1. Switch the ignition off.
2. Turn the lighting control to the
autolamp position.
3. Turn the lighting control to the off position.
4. Switch the ignition on.
5. Switch the ignition off.
6. Turn the lighting control to the autolamp position. The headlamps and
parking lamps will turn on.
7. Turn the lighting control to the off position when the desired delay time
has been reached. The headlamps and
parking lamps will turn off. You can set
the headlamp exit delay to one of the
following settings:
•Off.
• 10 seconds.
• 20 seconds.
• 120 seconds.
Note: You can also adjust the time delay
using the display controls in the instrument
cluster. See Information Displays (page
86).
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS WARNING
The daytime running lamps system
does not activate the rear lamps and
may not provide adequate lighting
during low visibility driving conditions. Also,
the autolamps switch position may not
activate the headlamps in all low visibility
conditions, such as daytime fog. Make sure
the headlamps are switched to auto or on,
as appropriate, during all low visibility
conditions. Failure to do so may result in a
crash. 71
Taurus (CPH) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing LightingE173259

The daytime running lamps turn on when:
1. The ignition is switched to the on
position.
2. The lighting control is in the off position, parking lamps position or the
autolamps position, and the sensor
detects daylight.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (If Equipped)
The system will automatically turn on your
high beams if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. When it detects the
headlights of an approaching vehicle, the
tail lamps of the preceding vehicle or street
lighting, the system will turn off the high
beams before they distract other drivers.
The low beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic control
of the high beams is not functioning
properly, check the windshield in front of
the camera for a blockage. A clear view of
the road is required for proper system
operation. Have any windshield damage in
the area of the camera ’s field-of-view
repaired.
Note: If the system detects a blockage such
as bird droppings, bug splatter, snow or ice,
and you do not observe changes, the system
will go into low beam mode until you clear
the blockage. A message may also appear
in the instrument cluster display noting the
front camera is blocked.
Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots will not affect the performance of the
automatic high beam system. However, in
cold or inclement weather conditions, you
will notice a decrease in the availability of
the high beam system, especially at start
up. If you want to change the beam state
independently of the automatic control, you
may switch the high beams on or off using
the lever. Automatic control will resume
when conditions are correct. Note:
Modification of the vehicle ride height
such as using much larger tires, may
degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to decide
when to turn the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beams
will turn on if:
• The ambient light level is low enough.
• There is no traffic in front of the vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
32 mph (52 km/h)
.
The high beams will turn off if:
• The system detects the headlamps of
an approaching vehicle or the tail
lamps of a preceding vehicle.
• Vehicle speed falls below
27 mph
(44 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.
• The system detects severe rain, snow
or fog.
• The camera is blocked.
Activating the System
Switch on the system using the information
display and autolamps. See Information
Displays
(page 86).
Switch the lighting control to the
autolamps position. See
Autolamps
(page 70).

Manually Overriding the System
When the automatic control has activated
the high beams, pushing or pulling the stalk
will provide a temporary override to low
beam.
Use the information display menu to
permanently deactivate the system, or
switch the lighting control from autolamps
to headlamps.
