Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) 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 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 authoritfi for applicable lighting regulations.

When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer's instructions for adding water.
Don't mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn't clean as well
as washer fluid.
~ Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it's very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if it
is completely full.
Don't use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Headlight Washer (Export Only)
If you have this feature, you will wash your headlights while washing your

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:
0 The ignition is on
0 The headlight switch is off, and
0 The transaxle is not in “P” (Park).
At dusk, if the Twilight Sentinel feature is turned on, 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

To idle your vehicle with the DRL
