highest level to give your legs more
room when
you exit and enter the
vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering
wheel and pull the lever. Move the
steering wheel to a comfortable level,
then release the lever to lock the wheel

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
authority for applicable lighting
regulations.

Turn Signal and Lane Change
Indicator
The turn signal has two upward (for
Right) and two downward (for Left)
positions. These positions allow you to
signal a turn or
a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return
automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel
will flash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
I)
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if
the arrows don’t flash but just stay on, a
signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, have your dealer
replace
it to help avoid an accident. If
the green arrows don’t go on at all
when
you signal a turn, check the fuse
(see the
Index under Fuses G Circuit
Breakers) and for burned-out bulbs.

The high 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.
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 are on. This light means that
only the DRL are on. When you turn on
your exterior lights, this light will go
out. 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. The
DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking
brake.
J
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.
Flash-to-Pass (EXCEPT CANADA)
Flash-to-Pass lets you use your high
beam headlights to signal a driver in
front
of you that you want to pass.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever
toward you, then release.
If Your Headlights Are Off
Your high beam headlights will turn on.
They’ll stay on
as long as you hold the
lever there. Release the lever to turn
them off.
If Your Headlights Are On:
Flash-to-Pass does not operate when
your headlights are on. Use the lever to
change between high and low beams.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than
day driving. One reason is that some
drivers are likely to be impaired
- by
alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Don’t drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to
reduce the glare from headlights
behind you.
Since you can’t see as well, you may
need to slow down and keep more
space between you and other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher
speed roads. Your headlights can light
up only
so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you’re tired, pull off the road in a
safe place and rest.
Night Vision
No one can see as well at night as in the
daytime. But as we get older these
differences increase.
A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as
much light to see the same thing at
night as a 20-year-old.
What you do in the daytime can also
affect your night vision. For example, if
you spend the day in bright sunshine
you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your
eyes will have less trouble adjusting to
night. But if you’re driving, don’t wear
sunglasses at night. They may cut down
on glare from headlights, but they also
make a lot
of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by
approaching lights. It can take a second
or two, or even several seconds, for your eyes
to readjust to the dark. When
you are faced with severe glare (as from
a driver who doesn’t lower the high
beams, or a vehicle with misaimed
headlights), slow down
a little. Avoid
staring directly into the approaching
lights.
Keep your windshield and all the glass
on your vehicle clean - inside and out.
Glare at night is made much worse by
dirt on the glass. Even the inside of the
glass can build up a film caused by dust.
Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and
flash more than clean glass would,
malting the pupils of your eyes contract
repeatedly.
Remember that your headlights light up
far less of a roadway when you are in a
turn or curve. Keep your eyes moving;
that way, it’s easier to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlights
should be checked regularly for proper
aim,
so should your eyes be examined
regularly. Some drivers suffer from
night blindness
- the inability to see in
dim light
- and aren’t even aware of it.
