3. The autolight system automaticallyturns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position 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
headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF (if so equipped),
,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
O1of the instrument panel. 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.

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, as shown,
helps the system maintain a constant
temperature. Do not put anything on or
around this sensor.
• When the engine coolant temperatureand outside air temperature are low, the
air flow from the foot outlets may not
operate for a maximum of 150 seconds.
However, this is not a malfunction. Af ter
the coolant temperature warms up, air
flow from the foot outlets will operate
normally.
