Your vehicle has a light sensor located on the top of theinstrument panel. Be sure it is not covered, or thesystem will be on whenever the ignition is on.The system may also turn on your headlamps whendriving through a parking garage, heavy overcastweather or a tunnel. This is normal.There is a delay in the transition between the daytimeand nighttime operation of the Daytime RunningLamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems sothat driving under bridges or bright overhead streetlights does not affect the system. The DRL andautomatic headlamp system will only be affected whenthe light sensor sees a change in lighting lastinglonger than the delay.If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automaticheadlamp system will come on immediately. Onceyou leave the garage, it will take approximatelyone minute for the automatic headlamp system tochange to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,your instrument panel cluster may not be as brightas usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightnesscontrol is in the full bright position. See Instrument PanelBrightness on page 3-17.Fog LampsIf your vehicle has fog lamps you can use them forbetter vision in foggy or misty conditions.
