Twilight SentinelR Twilight Sentinel turns your headlamps on and off by sensing how dark it is outside. Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness Control Instrument panel light brightness can be adjusted by turning the exterior lamps control counterclockwise and clockwise. Courtesy Lamps When any door is opened, several lamps go on. They make it easy for you to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these lamps on by turning the exterior lamps control clockwise all the way past the normal stop. To operate this feature, slide the control to any position to vary the lamp timeout. You can set the delay time from only a few seconds to three minutes. If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lamps will remain on for three minutes after you turn off your engine. If you move the control almost all the way in the other direction, so it's just on, the lamps will go off quickly when you turn off your engine. Sliding the control to OFF, turns off the Twilight Sentinel feature. Light Sensor Your Twilight Sentinel and DRL work with the light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Don't cover it up. If you do, it will sense "dark" and the headlamps will come on. Illuminated Entry System When you open either front door or press the button with the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter, the lamps inside your vehicle will turn on. These lamps will turn off after about 40 seconds. These lamps will also turn off if you start the engine or activate the power door locks. 2-47
