The exterior lamps can be completely shut off while
the vehicle is in PARK (P) by sliding the Twilight
Sentinel lever all the way toward OFF, and releasing it.
To turn the exterior lamps back on, slide the lever all
the way toward OFF again, and release it; or, shift out
of PARK (P).
Park Lamp Override Feature
If the Twilight Sentinel lighting is active, it can be
disabled by turning on the manual parking lamps.
The lighting will be disabled until the ignition is moved
from RUN or until the outside light level becomes
daylight. The outside light level changing to daylight
will cause the Twilight Sentinel feature to deactivate.
The wiper
-
activated headlamps will override the
twilight disable feature.
Light Sensor
Your Twilight Sentinel and
DRL work with the light
sensor located on top of the
instrument panel.
Don’t cover it up. If you do, the sensor will read “dark”
and the Twilight Sentinel lighting will turn on.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the exterior lamp button has been left on, the exterior
lamps will turn off approximately 10 minutes after the
ignition is turned to LOCK and any door has been
opened. This protects draining the battery in case you
have accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps
on. If you need to leave the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, use the manual control to turn the lamps
back on after the ignition is turned to LOCK and any
door is opened. To delay the lamps from turning off,
see “Twilight Sentinel” in the index.
