Autolamps

Principles of Operation

The light sensor must always be exposed to outside light to function correctly. Do not place any items on the defroster grille panel which may block light to the light sensor and cause erratic operation of the system.

The autolamp time delay control defaults to 20 seconds unless changed by the operator.

Placing the headlamp switch in any other position overrides the autolamps operation. Automatic operation is not possible until the headlamp switch is placed in the AUTOLAMPS ON position.

There is also a feature that turns on the exterior lamps when the windshield wipers are turned on. When the LCM detects a ground signal from the windshield wiper motor (for a predetermined amount of time), the LCM turns the exterior lamps on.
