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.

Fog Lights
Use your fog lights for better vision in
Foggy or misty conditions. Your parking
lights or low beam headlights must be
on
or your fog lights won’t work.
To turn the fog lights on, push the button.
Push the button again to turn the fog
lights
off. A light above the button will
come on when the fog lights are on.
Interior Lights
Courtesy Lights
When any door is opened, the interior
lights will go on (unless it’s bright
outside). The lights will stay on for about
30 seconds or until you turn on the
ignition.
Front Map Lights
Your inside rearview mirror includes two
map lights. The lights will go on when a
door is opened. When the doors are
closed and the ignition is on, press the
switch to turn on the lights.

Inside Daymight Rearview Mirror
An inside rearview mirror is attached
, above your windshield. The mirror has
pivots
so that you can adjust it.
You can adjust the mirror for day
or nigh1
driving. Pull the tab for night driving to
reduce glare. Push the tab for daytime
driving.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your right side mirror is convex.
A convex mirror’s surface is curved so
you can see more from the driver’s seat.
Power Remote Control Mirrors
The electric mirror control is on the
Iriver’s door.
To adjust either mirror, turn
the switch to “L,” (left) or “R’ (right).
rhen use the joystick to adjust the- mirror
When you are done adjusting the mirrors
move the control back to the center.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine While driving on a surface with reduced
traction, try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking
(including engine braking by shifting to
a lower gear). Any sudden changes could
cause the tires to slide.
You may not
realize the surface is slippery until your vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize
warning clues
- such as enough water,
ice or packed snow on the road to make a
“mirrored surface”
- and slow down
when you have any doubt.
Remember: Any anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps avoid only the braking skid.

1 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.
0 Drive defensively.
0 Don’t drink and drive.
0 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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your Driving and the Road
What can you do about highway
hypnosis? First, be aware that
it can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
0 Make sure your vehicle is well
ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
0 Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road
ahead and to the sides. Check your
rearview mirrors and your instruments
frequently.
0 If you get sleepy, pull off the road into
a rest, service, or parking area and
take a nap, get some exercise, or both.
For safety, treat drowsiness on
the
highway as an emergency.
Hill and Mountain
Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is
jifferent from driving in flat or rolling
terrain. If you drive regularly in steep
zountry, or if you’re planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make
your trips safer and more enjoyable.
Keep your vehicle in good shape.
Check all fluid levels and also the
brakes, tires, cooling system and
transmission. These parts can work
hard on mountain roads.
Know how to go down hills. The most
important thing to know is this: let
your engine do some
of the slowing
down. Shift to a lower gear when you
go down a steep or long hill.
0 Know how to go uphill. You may
want to shift down to a lower gear.
The lower gears help cool your engine and transmission, and you can climb
the hill better.
