Automatic Lamp Control

Your vehicle is equipped with an Automatic Lamp Control system, which automatically turns

on the headlamps and other exterior lamps, and the instrument panel lights, at night or when

necessary. 

The Automatic Lamp Control system’s light sensor is located on top of the instrument panel.

To ensure proper system operation, it’s important to avoid placing any objects on or near the

sensor.

The exterior lamps also can be operated manually. The exterior lamp control knob 

is located on the left side of the instrument panel.

with objects when parking the vehicle. It

operates only at speeds less than 5 mph. 

The rear parking assist display is located

near the rear window. The lights on the dis-

play provide distance information. As the

vehicle approaches an object, the number of

lights illuminated increases. Low-toned

Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist (if equipped)

beeps also sound from the rear speakers

when objects are near the rear bumper.

Be sure to keep the ultrasonic sensors on

the vehicle’s rear bumper clean to ensure

proper operation.

The system can be disabled using the Driver

Information Center.
