Headlights - Safeguard Sentinel: Operation: Automatic
- With time-delay control ON, ignition switch ON, and regular headlight switch OFF, photocell is responsive to amount of daylight and will automatically turn on the headlights when daylight decreases to point where headlights are required for safe driving. Driver adjustment of time when headlights turn on is provided by rotating cap on top of photocell between "Early" and "Late".CAUTION: Do not rotate cap so far that light through window in cap is blocked off from cell.
Circuit is designed so that lights will not go on or off with sudden changes in lighting such as passing under bright lights or going through tunnels.
- A variable time delay control switch permits the driver to select a delay period of from 2 or 3 seconds to 1 or 3 minutes for the headlights to go off after the ignition switch is turned off. On Chrysler, additional lighting at the rear of the car is provided by the unit turning on the back-up lights when the headlight switch is turned on and the ignition switch is off (these lights will go off when ignition switch turned on). When the ignition switch is turned off, all lights will go off automatically at the end of the time-delay period selected by the driver.
