Although your vehicle's lighting system (headlights, parking lig\
hts, 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 fog
lamps
only when your lower beam headlights are also on, 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.
Headlight High-Low Beam
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, this blue
indicator light on the
instrument panel also
will be on.

You control the
windshield wipers by
turning the band with
the wiper symbol on
it.
For
a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle.
If you want
more cycles, hold the band
on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for
a long or short delay between wipes. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn
the band to choose the delay time.
The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at
low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO
position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the
wipers, move the band to the off symbol.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent
you from seeing well
enough
to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become damaged, get new
blades
or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop
them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

required
on new vehicles sold in Canada.

in daylight
when:
The ignition is on,
The headlight switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.
When you turn
on your headlights, the DRL will switch off and the exterior

will come on. When you turn off the headlights, the exterior lights
will go out and the high beams will change to the reduced brightness of
DRL again.
The DRL indicator light
on the instrument panel will go on whenever the
DRL
is on. This light means that only the DRL is on. When you turn on
your exterior lights, this light
will go out.
