For high beams, push the turn signal lever
away from you. When
the high beams are
on, a blue light on the instrument panel
also will be
on. It will go off when you

to
low beams, pull the lever toward you.

With the lever in the low beam position,
pull the lever toward you
to momentarily
switch to high beam (to signal that

beam operation.
Daytime Running Lights (Canada)
The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that “Daytime Running Lighls”
(DRL) are
a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours. DRL are required
on new
vehicles sold
in Canada.
The low beam headlights will come on at
reduced brightness in daylight when:
0 The ignition is on
0 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 low 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
or passing signal 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.
