Ambient Light Sensor: Adjustments

Autolamp Controls And Sensor:

The light sensitivity adjustment feature allows the autolamp circuit to be adjusted, to the driver's liking, for the headlamps (13008) to turn on for the amount of ambient light. If the driver desires the headlamps to come on earlier when the sky is brighter or later when the sky is darker, then the following procedure should be performed to satisfy the driver's requirement.

1. Move the autolamp delay slide knob to the far left position with the transmission (7003) in park and ignition switch (11572) in the RUN position.

2. Press the mirror DIM and autolamp ON switches simultaneously. The autolamp ON LED will flash, indicating it is in the adjust mode.

3. Slowly slide the autolamp delay control to the right until the DIM LED is on steadily. This indicates the current setting for the early/late headlamp. (The factory setting would fall in the middle of the control slide range.)

4. To change the early ON function, slide the autolamp delay slide knob to the left. The DIM LED will start flashing, indicating that the setting is being changed. The further left the control is moved the earlier the head lamps will come on. Pressing the autolamp button will enter the new setting and return the mirror back to normal operation.

To change the later ON function, slide the autolamp delay control to the right. The DIM LED will start flashing, indicating that the setting is being changed. The further right the control is moved, the later the headlamps will come on. Pressing the autolamp switch will enter the new setting and return the mirror back to the normal operation.

5. To turn the autolamp off, press the On/Off button. The indicator light will turn off.
