Headlamps On With Wipers Mode

The circuitry of the Electromechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) provides an automatic HEADLAMPS ON WITH WIPERS mode for vehicles equipped with the optional automatic headlamps. This is a customer programmable feature that can be enabled or disabled through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). If this feature is enabled, the headlamps will turn ON automatically whenever the windshield wipers are turned ON; and, if the headlamps were turned ON automatically when the wipers were turned ON, they will also turn OFF automatically when the wipers are turned OFF.

If this feature is enabled in vehicles equipped with the optional automatic wiper feature, when the automatic wiper mode is selected the headlamps will turn ON automatically only after the wipers complete three automatic wipe cycles within about 30 seconds, and they will turn OFF automatically after 3 minutes elapse without any automatic wipe cycles.
