DESCRIPTION

The autolamp system provides automatic on-off control of the headlights in addition to normal headlight switch operation. The headlights will automatically turn on when outside light dims. The system also includes a delay feature which keeps the headlights on for a pre-selected time period after ignition is turned off. Major components of the system are a light sensor amplifier assembly, autolamp headlight relay, autolamp parking light relay, and headlight switch.

OPERATION

The headlight switch must be in the OFF position for automatic operation. The light sensor must be exposed to ambient light to operate properly. Time delay can be varied up to 3 minutes before lights turn off automatically. Time delay is controlled by delay switch knob on bottom of inside rear view mirror. Sliding delay switch knob to the right increases time headlights are on after ignition is turned off.
