Automatic Headlamp System

(AHS)

When encountering darker conditions

during the daytime (such as when driv-

ing under a bridge or inside a parking

garage), you may notice the AHS tem-

porarily activating your headlamps, inte-

rior lights and radio display lights. This 

is normal. The lights will automatically

shut off when returning to daylight driv-

ing conditions. 

When you start the vehicle at night, 

the automatic headlamps will come on

immediately. The Automatic Headlamp

System light sensor is located on top of

the instrument panel near the windshield

defroster outlets. To ensure proper sys-

tem operation, avoid placing objects or

stickers on or near the sensor.

See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Note: The fog lamps shut off automati-

cally when the ignition is turned off and

must be reactivated when needed.
