∙ Keep all the lights on for a period of time af ter you place the ignition in the OFF
position and all doors are closed. ∙ Turn on the headlights if the windshield
wipers make multiple continuous
passes within approximately one min-
ute of the first pass (if so equipped). The
headlights remain on until the wipers
are turned off for a short period of time.
