Nissan Murano: Headlight control switch / Autolight system

The autolight system allows the headlights
to turn on and off automatically. The autolight
system can:
- Turn on the headlights, front parking,
tail, license plate and instrument panel
lights automatically when it is dark.
- Turn off all the lights (except daylight
running lights) when it is light.
- Keep all the lights on for a period of time
after you place the ignition switch in the
OFF position and all doors are closed.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and the
time delay for autolight shutoff can be
adjusted. For additional information, refer
to “Vehicle information display” in
this section.
To turn on the autolight system:
- Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO
position
.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- The autolight system automatically
turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is turned off
and a door is opened and left open, the
headlights remain on for a period of time. If
another door is opened while the headlights
are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
, or
position.

Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the autolight sensor located in the top
side
of the instrument panel. The
autolight
sensor controls the autolight; if it
is covered, the autolight sensor reacts as
if it is dark out and the headlights will
illuminate. If this occurs while parked
with the engine off and the ignition
switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle’s battery could become discharged.
