LIGHTING SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

  1. AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (w/ Automatic Light Control)

    When the light control switch is in the AUTO position, the automatic light control system detects ambient light levels and controls the low beam headlights, clearance lights, taillights and license plate lights.

  2. LIGHT AUTO TURN-OFF SYSTEM (w/ Automatic Light Control or w/ Entry and Start System)

    The light auto turn-off system is used to prevent the exterior lights from being accidentally left on (low beam headlights, high beam headlights, front fog lights*, rear fog light, taillights, clearance lights and license plate lights).

    The lights that will turn off will vary as shown in the table below, according to the position of the light control switch.
