Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Twilight Sentinel

Twilight sentinel keeps the lamps on for a delay period (3 to 180 seconds), when the gear selector is in the PARK position, the ambient light sensor indicates darkness and the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The twilight sentinel can be manually turned off by holding the twilight sentinel switch to the OFF position on the headlamp switch, but when the previous conditions are met and the switch is released, the twilight sentinel will always have a minimum delay. The twilight sentinel feature does not affect the operation of the daytime running lamps (DRL).
