9. Auto ON:
INSPECT AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Turn the light control switch to AUTO.
(c) Gradually cover the top of the sensor.
(d) Verify that the accessory lights up and the headlights turn
ON.

10. Auto OFF:
INSPECT AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL
(a) Gradually expose the sensor.
(b) Verify that the headlights and the accessory lights come
OFF.
I19454
11. INSPECT LIGHT-OFF CONDITION
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Gradually cover the top of the sensor.
Lights auto ON:
(c) Verify that the lights will go out when light control switch
position is OFF or the area surrounding the sensor gets
bright or opening the except back door while the ignition
switch is OFF.
12. INSPECT LIGHTS-ON CONDITION
(a) Open the driver's door while the ignition switch is OFF.
(b) Turn the light control switch to AUTO leaving the door

13. ADJUST AUTOMATIC LIGHT CONTROL SENSOR
(a) Adjustment of the light control is performed by turning the
sensitivity knob on the sensor.
Clockwise (b) This will determine at what light condition the automatic
control will take place.
S If response is too quick, turn the knob counterclock-
Counterclockwise
wise.
S If response is too slow, turn the knob clockwise.
