Daytime  Running  Lights (Canada) 
The Canadian  Federal  Government  has 
decided  that “Daytime  Running Lights” 
(DE)  are a useful  feature,  in  that DIU 
can  make  your  vehicle  more  visible to 
pedestrians  and other drivers during 
daylight  hours. DIU 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  front  turn signal lights  will come  on 
in daylight  when: 
0 The ignition  is on 
0 The  headlight  switch  is off, and 
0 The parking  brake  is released. 
At  dusk,  the exterior lights  will come  on 
automatically  and the front turn signal 
lights  will go out.  At dawn,  the  exterior 
lights will go out  and  the front turn signal 
lights  will  come  on  (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, set 
the  parking  brake  while  the ignition  is 
in 
the “Off”  or  “LOCK”  position.  Then start 
the  vehicle.  The DRL  will  stay 
off until 
you  release  the  parking  brake.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuses and Circuit 
Breakers 
The  wiring  circuits  in  your  vehicle are 
protected  from  short  circuits  by a 
combination  of maxi-fuses,  mini-fuses 
and  circuit  breakers.  This  greatly  reduces 
the  chance  of fires  caused  by electrical 
problems. 
There  are three  fuse  centers  on  your 
vehicle.  One 
is in the  right  side of your 
instrument  panel.  Turn  the  knob and  pull 
the  door  to access  the  fuses.  The  other 
two fuse blocks are in  the 
engine compartment.  One is part  of the 
Forward  Lamp  wiring  harness 
(A), and 
the  other is  part of the  ECM-Engine 
wiring  harness 
(B). 
Look  at  the  silver-colored  band  inside 
the  fuse.  If the  band  is  broken  or  melted, 
replace  the fuse.  Be sure  you  replace  a 
bad  fuse  with  a new  one  of the  correct 
size. 
If  you  ever have  a problem  on  the  road 
and  don’t  have a spare fuse,  you  can 
borrow  one of the  correct  value.  Just  pick 
some  feature  of your  vehicle  that  you  can 
get  along  without 
- like the radio  or 
cigarette lighter 
- and  use  its  fuse, if it 
is  the  size you need.  Replace it as soon 
as  you  can. 
Headlights 
The  headlight  wiring  is  protected  by a 
circuit  breaker 
in the  switch.  An electrical 
overload  will  cause  the  lights to go on and 
off,  or in  some  cases  to remain 
off. If this 
happens,  have  your  headlight wiring 
checked  right  away. 
Windshield  Wipers 
The  windshield  wiper  motor  is  protected 
by  a circuit  breaker  and  a fuse. If  the 
motor  overheats  due to heavy  snow,  etc., 
the  wiper  will  stop  until  the  motor  cools. 
If  the  overload  is  caused  by some 
electrical  problem  and  not  snow,  etc., 
be  sure to  get 
it fixed. 
Power  Windows  and  Other  Power 
Options 
Circuit  breakers  protect  the power 
windows  and  other  power  accessories. 
When  the  current load is too  heavy, 
the  circuit  breaker  opens  and  closes, 
protecting  the  circuit  until  the problem 
is  fixed  or goes  away.
