Twilight Sentinel® also provides exterior illumination as you leave the vehicle. If Twilight Sentinel® has turned on the lamps when you turn off the ignition, your lamps will remain on until: Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness The button for this feature is located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. +!- (Brightness): Press this button to change the brightness of the instrument panel lights. Press the DIMMER button until PANEL DIMMING appears on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Then use the brightness button to adjust the instrument panel brightness. Press the top of the button to brighten the lights or the bottom of the button to dim the lights. See Head-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-29 for more information. Be sure not to have the brightness turned all the way down with the lamps on during the day. Your DIC may not be visible. • The exterior lamp switch is moved from OFF to the parking lamp position, or • a delay time that you select has elapsed. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-57 to select the delay time that you want. You can also select no delay time. If you turn off the ignition with the exterior lamp switch in the parking lamp or headlamp position, the Twilight Sentinel® delay will not occur. The lamps will turn off as soon as the switch is turned off. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. Exterior Lighting Battery Saver If the manual parking lamps or headlamps have been left on, the exterior lamps will turn off as soon as the ignition is turned off or RAP is active. This protects against draining the battery in case you have accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on. The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are turned on after the ignition switch is turned to OFF. If you need to leave the lamps on, use the exterior lamp control to turn the lamps back on. 3-27
