Daytime Running Lights
(CANADA ONLY)
The Canadian Federal Government has decided that
Daytime Running Lights
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL are required
on
new vehicles sold in Canada.
Your DRL work with a light sensor on
top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low beam headlights will come
on
at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released. At dusk,
the exterior lights will come on
automatically and the low beams will
change to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change to the reduced
brightness of DRL (if the headlight
switch is
off).
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the
DRL off,
set the parking brake while the ignition
is in the
Off or Lock position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay
off
until you release the parking brake.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine REVERSIBLE LANE ON MULTILANE ROADWAY
Many city roads and expressways, and
even bridges, use reversible-lane traffic control during rush hours.
A red X light
above
a lane means no driving in that
lane at that time.
A green arrow means
you may drive in that lane.
Look for the
signs posted to warn drivers what hours
and days these systems are in effect.
NO PASSING ZONE
Pavement Markings
Pavement markings add to traffic signs
and signals. They give information to
drivers without taking attention from
the roadway.
A solid yellow line on your
side of the road or lane means
Don’t
Cross.
Your Own Signals
Drivers signal to others, too. It’s not
only more polite, it’s safer to let other
drivers know what you are doing. And
in some places the law requires driver
signals.
Turn and Lane Change Signals:
Always signal when you plan to turn or
change lanes.
If necessary, you can use hand signals
out the window: Left arm straight out
for a left turn, down for slow or about-
to-stop, and up for a right turn.
Slowing Down: If time allows, tap the
brake pedal once or twice in advance of
slowing or stopping. This warns the
driver behind you.
Disabled Your four-way flashers
signal that your vehicle is disabled or
is
a hazard. See the Index under Hazard
Warning Flashers.
Traffic Officer
The traffic police officer is also a source
of important information. The officer’s
signals govern, no matter what the
traffic lights or other signs say.
The next section discusses some of the
road conditions you may encounter.
