Exterior Lighting: Autolamps
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2009 Ford Crown Victoria. 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. The autolamp system keeps the exterior lamps on for a pre-selected period of time after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The pre-selected time delay is adjustable up to approximately 3 minutes.
Vehicles equipped with autolamps also have a feature that turns on the exterior lamps when the wipers are on. For additional information, refer to WIPERS & WASHERS article.
