Headlamp Delay

The Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM) controls a headlamp delay function which illuminates the driveway after leaving the vehicle. The headlamp delay will operate on low beam headlamps only regardless of the position of the left hand steering column multifunction switch.

The headlamp delay is activated when the lighting control switch is in the 'Auto' position and the engine is switched off. The message center displays a 'HEADLIGHT DELAY' message and the low beam headlamps will be activated for a period of approximately 30, 60, 120 or 240 seconds, which is selectable using the instrument cluster menu. After the delay period, the BCM/GWM automatically switches off the delay function, extinguishing the headlamps.

The headlamp delay feature can also be switched off by pressing the headlamp button on the smart key.
