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 your
own state or provincial highway authority
for applicable lighting regulations.

sometimes they can be waiting for you as
you come over a hill or dip into a shallow
valley. Start your windshield wipers and
washer, to help clear accumulated road
dirt. Slow down carefully.
Tips on Driving in Fog
If you get caught in fog, turn your
headlights on low beam, even
in daytime.
You’ll see
- and be seen - better. Use
your fog lights
if your vehicle has them.
Don’t use your high beams. The light will
bounce off the water droplets that make
up fog and reflect back at you. Use
your defogger. In high humidity, even
a light buildup of moisture on the inside
of the glass will cut down on your already
limited visibility. Run your windshield
wipers and washer occasionally. Moisture
can build up on the outside glass, and
what seems to be fog may actually be
moisture on the outside of your
windshield.
Treat dense fog as an emergency. Try to
find a place to pull off the road. Of course
you want to respect another’s property,
but you might need to put something
between you and moving vehicles
-
space, trees, telephone poles, a private
driveway, anything that removes you
from other traffic.
[f visibility is near zero and you must stop
but are unsure whether you are away from
the road,
turn your lights on, start your
hazard warning flashers, and sound your
horn at intervals or when you hear
approaching traffic.
Pass other vehicles in fog only if you can
see far enough ahead to pass safely. Even
then, be prepared to delay your pass if
you suspect the fog is worse up ahead. If
other vehicles try to pass you, make
it
easy for them.

Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
There are
two fuse centers on your
vehicle. One is
in the left side of your
instrument panel.
The other is in the engine compartment.
Open the cover on either of the boxes to
expose the fuses.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the
fuse. If the band
is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a
bad fuse with a new one
of the correct
size.
If you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
borrow one
of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you can
get along without
- like the radio or
cigarette lighter
- and use its fuse, if it is
the size you need. Replace
it as soon as
you can.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker.
An electrical overload will
cause the lights to go on and off, or in
some cases to remain
off. If this happens,
have your headlight wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.,
the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some
electrical problem and not snow, etc., be
sure to get it fixed.
