When it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamps control is in the automatic position, the headlamps and parking lamps will turn on and off automatically. See Exterior Lamps Controls.

If the headlamps or parking lamps are left on and the ignition is turned to LOCK/OFF, the lamps automatically turn off after 10 minutes. The lamps remain off until the ignition is switched on or the lamps are turned on again using the exterior lamps control.

The vehicle has a light sensor located on top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor or the headlamps will come on when they are not needed.

The system may also turn on the headlamps when driving through a parking garage or tunnel.
