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.

indicator lights.
You can switch your headlights from high to low beam by pulling on the
multifunction lever.
A circuit breaker protects your headlights. If you have an electrical
overload, your headlights will flicker
on and off. Have your headlight
wiring checked right away
if this happens.
Fog Lamps (Option)
The fog lamp switch is on the instrument panel under the headlight switch.
Press the right side of
the switch
to turn the
fog lamps
on, and the
left side of the switch
to turn them off. A
light will glow in the
right side
of the
switch
when they are
on.
Remember, fog lamps alone
will not give off as much light as your
headlights.
Never
use your fog lamps in the dark without turning on your headlights.
Fog lamps will
go off whenever your high beam headlights come on. When
the high beams
go off, the fog lamps will come on again.

(Canada
Only)
If your vehicle was first sold, when new, in Canada, you will have this light
on
the instrument panel. It goes on whenever the Daytime Running Lights
are
on, the ignition is on, the headlamp switch is off, and the parking brake
is released.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only)
The Canadian Federal Government has decided that “Daytime Running
Lights” (DRL)
is a useful feature, in that DRL can make your vehicle more
visible to pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL is
required
on new vehicles sold in Canada.
The high beam headlights will come on at reduced brightness
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
lights
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.

Indicator lights go on when you use your turn signals, change from low
beam headlights to high beams, or when you use
your hazard flashers. The
next few pages will also
tell you about the indicator lights on your vehicle
and help you locate them.
Charging System Light
The charging system
light is
on your
instrument cluster and
will come
on briefly
when
you turn on the
ignition, but the
engine is
not running,
as a check to show
you it
is working.
It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays on, or comes on while
you are driving, you may have a problem with the charging system. It could
indicate that you have problems with
a generator drive belt, or another
electrical problem. Have
it checked right away. Driving while this light is on
could drain your battery.
If
you must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all
your accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner.
If you have the
standard cluster, this
Check Gages light
will come on briefly
when you are starting
the engine. If the light
comes
on and stays on
while you are driving,
check your various
gages to see
if they are
in the warning zones.
