Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog
lamps, side marker lamps and tail lamps) 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 lamps. For example, some jurisdictions may require that
you
operate your lower beam lamps with fog lamps at all times, or that
headlamps be turned on whenever
you must use your windshield wipers.
In addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lamps,
especially at dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with your
own State or Provincial highway authority for applicable lighting
regulations.
