Automatic Headlamp System Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic light sensor on the top left corner of the instrument panel, so be sure it is not covered or the headlamps will be on continuously. When it is dark enough outside, your automatic headlamp system will turn on your low-beam headlamps at the normal brightness along with other lamps such as the taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps and instrument panel lights. This is indicated by the headlamp symbol on your instrument panel cluster. See Instrument Panel Cluster on page 3-26. If you are driving through a parking garage, overcast weather, or a tunnel, the automatic headlamp system may turn on your low-beam headlamps at a normal brightness along with the taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps and the instrument panel lights. The radio lights will be dimmer, and the instrument panel cluster lights may dim. There will be a delay before the lights will turn on when starting the car at night. Instrument Panel Brightness The instrument panel brightness control is located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Turn the wheel on the left of the control up or down to increase or decrease brightness. The brightness of the instrument panel lights will decrease when the headlamps are on. Fog Lamps - (Fog Lamps): Turn the band on the turn signal/multifunction lever to the fog lamp symbol to turn the fog lamps on. They will come on only when the headlamps are on low beam. 6 (Maximum Setting): It is recommended that the brightness level be kept at the maximum setting for all daytime driving to ensure proper visibility. 3-15
