can:● Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail,
license plate and instrument panel lights au-
tomatically when it is dark.
● Turn off all the lights (except daylight running
lights) when it is light.
● Keep all the lights on for a period of time after
you place the ignition switch in the OFF
position and all doors are closed. NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the time
delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted.
For additional information, refer to “Ve-
hicle information display” in this section.

position and a door is opened and left open, the
headlights remain on for a period of time. If an-
other door is opened while the headlights are on,
then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch to

position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.
