WARNING:
The autolamps switch position may not activate the headlamps in all low visibility conditions, such as daytime fog. Always ensure that your headlamps are switched to auto or on, as appropriate, during all low visibility conditions. Failure to do so may result in a crash. |
When the lighting control is in the autolamps position, the headlamps automatically turn on in low light situations or when the wipers activate.
If equipped, the following also activate when the lighting control is in the autolamps position and you switch them on in the information display:
- Configurable daytime running lamps.
- Automatic high beam control.
- Adaptive headlamp control.
The headlamps remain on for a period of time after you power off your vehicle. Use the information display controls to adjust the period of time that the headlamps remain on. See
Information Displays.
Note:
With the headlamps in the autolamps position, you cannot switch the high beam headlamps on until the autolamps system turns the low beam headlamps on.
Windshield Wiper Activated Headlamps
The windshield wiper activated headlamps turn on within 10 seconds when you switch the windshield wipers on and the lighting control is in the autolamps position. They turn off approximately 60 seconds after you switch the windshield wipers off.
The headlamps will not turn on by wiper activation:
- During a mist wipe.
- When the wipers are on to clear washer fluid during a wash condition.
- If the wipers are in intermittent mode.
Note:
If you switch autolamps and autowipers on, the headlamps will automatically turn on when the windshield wipers continuously operate.
