Headlight Auto Light Function Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Verify that the headlights will illuminate when placing a hand over the receiver of the lighting control sensor under direct sunlight with the electric motor switch in the "ON" position and the lighting switch in the "AUTO" position. If there is a malfunction, perform the troubleshooting (Refer to TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART ).
NOTE:
When covering the lighting control sensor receiver, be careful not to touch the windshield surface (where the lighting control sensor receiver is mounted). (The lighting control sensor receiver has limited resistance to oil.)
