Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights,
parking lights, fog lamps, side marker lights and
taillights) meet
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply
their own lighting regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these lights. For example,
some jurisdictions may require that you operate your
lower beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that
headlights be turned on whenever you must use your
windshield wipers. In addition,
most jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at
dawn or dusk. It is recommended that you check with
you own state or provincial highway authority for
applicable lighting regulations.
