thef t of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and
always lock the vehicle when unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are

• Turn on the headlights if the windshieldwipers make multiple continuous passes
within approximately one minute of the
first pass (if so equipped). The headlights
remain on until the wipers are turned off
for a short period of time.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity (if so
equipped) and the time delay for auto-
light shutoff can be adjusted. For addi-
tional information, see “Vehicle infor-
mation display–7 inch (18 cm) Type A”
(P. 2-22) or “Vehicle information

(P. 2-45).
To turn on the autolight system:
• Place the headlight switch in the AUTOposition
O1.
• Place the ignition switch in the ON position.
• The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is turned OFF
and a door is opened and lef t open, the
headlights remain ON for a period of time. If
another door is opened while the head-
lights are on, then the timer is reset. To turn the autolight system off, place the
switch in the OFF,
,orposition.
The headlights will turn on automatically at
twilight or in rainy weather (when the wind-
shield wiper is operated continuously).
If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position and one of the doors is opened
and this condition is continued, the head-
lights remain on for 5 minutes.
Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the autolight sensor located in the top
side of the instrument panel
O1. The au-
tolight sensor controls the autolight; if it
is covered, the autolight sensor reacts as
if it is dark out and the headlights will
illuminate. If this occurs while parked
with the engine off and the ignition
switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle's battery could become
discharged.
