Exterior Lighting - Overview: Autolamps
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The autolamp system provides light sensitive automatic on/off control of the exterior lamps. When the ambient lighting is low enough and the headlamp switch is in the AUTOLAMPS position, the exterior parking and low beam lamps illuminate. The autolamp system keeps the exterior lamps on for a preselected period of time after the ignition is turned OFF (20 seconds is the factory default setting). The preselected time is adjustable up to approximately 3 minutes by using the IPC message center controls.
