Default adjust "auto on" headlight sensitivity

I'm finding that my headlights - when set to come on automatically at dusk - are not coming on soon enough. I went to our manual and found on page 860, a "headlight sensitivity customization".
The manual states that one can set the lights at - 2 to 2. I cannot figure out how to make this setting to adjust my "on time". Anyone do this or know how to make this adjustment? Maybe it's a dealer setting. Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, you want them to come on at a certain time? I'm pretty sure you can't make them come on at a certain time. Only when the sensor detects that it's dark enough. If you want to increase the sensitivity of the sensor even more than what's in the settings menu, you could try putting something slightly shaded over the sensor.
