Twilight Sentinel

The twilight sentinel is a convenience system that controls the operation of the exterior lamps in response to the level of ambient light. It turns on and off the headlamps depending on whether nighttime or daytime conditions are sensed. It will also keep the exterior lamps on for a pre-selected period of time after the ignition is turned to the OFF position with nighttime conditions sensed. The exterior lamps will be turned off automatically after the delay period elapses. The delay period ranges from approximately a few seconds to 3 minutes in 10 second increments.
