At the top of the turn signal/high beam
lever there’s a paddle with the word
PUSH on it. To spray washer fluid on
the windshield, push the paddle for less

Operation of lights '
Although your vehicle's lighting system (headlamps, parking lamps, fog lamps,
side marker lamps and tail lamps) meets
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.

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 transaxle is not in P (Park). 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,
shift the transaxle into
P (Park). The
DRL will stay off until you shift out of
P (Park).
At night, you can turn off all exterior
lights
when you are in P (Park) by
moving the Twilight Sentinel control all
the way past
MIN to turn it off, if it was
on.
If it was off, move the control to the
right to turn
it on, then back off. The
lights will come back on
when you put
the transaxle
in gear.

Headlight High-Low Beam
Changer
To change the headlights from low beam
to high, or high
to low, pull the turn
signal lever all the way toward you.
Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, a blue
light
on the instrument panel also will
be
on.

Second, to light your way when you
leave your vehicle, the Twilight Sentinel
will keep your headlights on for
as long
as three minutes. Rotate the Twilight
Sentinel switch to
MAX for a three-
minute delay, Rotate it the other way
to
reduce the delay.
Fog Lights
The switch for your fog lights is in the
overhead console.
An indicator light
in the switch will
glow when the fog lights are switched
on. Your headlights must be on low
beams, or your parking lights must be
on, for your fog lights to work.
Front Reading Ljghts
These lights and the interior courtesy
lights will come
on when you open the
doors.
To turn on
a reading light when the
doors are closed, press either switch.
Press it again to turn
the light off.
To avoid draining your vehicle's battery,
be sure to turn off the reading lights
when leaving your vehicle.

Head-Up Display (omorq
If you have the optional Head-Up
Display (HUD), you can see the
speedometer reading in English or
metric units displayed “through” the
windshield.
The HUD
also shows:
Turn signal indicator lights.
A high beam indicator symbol.
A CHECK GAGES message. (For
low oil pressure, high coolant
temperature, low oil level and low
fuel .)
A low fuel warning symbol.
The HUD shows these lights when they
are lit
on the instrument panel.

When you sit straight in your seat, the
HUD image will appear slightly to the
right in front
of the driver.

NOTEE
Although the HUD image appears
to be near the front
of the vehicle,
do not use it as a parking aid. The
HUD was not designed
for that
purpose.
If you try to use it that
way, such as in a parking lot,
you
may misjudge distance and run into
something.
If you never look at your
b instrument panel, you may not
see something important, such as a
warning light. So be sure to scan
your displays and controls and the
driving environment just
as you
would in a vehicle without
HUD.
