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 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.
Lights On Reminder
[f you open the driver’s door while
leaving the lights on, you will hear a
warning tone.
Daytime Running Lights
(Canada Only)
The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that Daytime Running Lights
(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.
Your DRL work with a light sensor on top
of the instrument panel. Don’t cover it up.
The low beam headlights will come on at
reduced brightness
in daylight when:
0 The igdition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The transaxle is not in “P” (Park).
4t dusk, the exterior lights will come on
mtornatically and the low beams will
:hange to full brightness. At dawn, the
:xterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change to the reduced
brightness of DRL (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,
shift the transaxle into “P’ (Park). The
DRL will stay off until you shift out of
“P” (Park).
At night, you can turn off all exterior
lights when you are
in “P” (Park) by
moving the Twilight Sentinel control all
[he way past
“MIN” to turn it off, if it was
m. If it was off, move the control to the
right to turn it on, then back off. The
lights will come back on when you put
the transaxle
in gear.

[MODE)
3. Release the “MODE” button. The
heading display
will start to rotate.
4. Drive the car in small circles. Don’t
drive faster than 10 mph.
5. Drive in circles until the
“CALIBRATE’ light goes out. It
usually takes
I to 5 circles.
6. Your compass should be calibrated.
You will know this when the directior
bars are on and the “CALIBRATE”
light is off.
COMPASS ACCURACY
Your compass may show different
headings around bridges, power lines,
large metal objects, and steep hills. This
i
normal and is true of compasses in
general.
If you put large metal objects like golf
clubs
in the trunk they could affect
accuracy.
If the accuracy is close, the
compass will adapt to these objects over
time.
If you use an antenna with a magnetic
base,
it is best to mount it away from the
center of the trunk near the rear window.
The rear defog system can affect
accuracy, and the compass corrects for the
rear defog. However,
if the rear defog is
turned on while making sharp turns, the
accuracy may be
off. When you turn the
rear defog
off again, the accuracy returns
to normal.
Do not turn on the rear defog if you are
trying
to calibrate. The system will not
allow the calibration.
You will hear the
chime, and “CALIBRATE’ will flash for
a few seconds.
Be aware that metal objects are
sometimes buried
in the ground. They can
affect accuracy and you may not know
they are there.
As an example, many
concrete roads have metal reinforcements
inside.
Head-Up Display
(OPTION)
If you have the optional Head-Up Display
(HUD),
you can see the speedometer
reading,
in English or metric units,
displayed “through” the windshield. The
HUD also shows:

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, making 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.
....
rn Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can mean driving
trouble. On a wet road you can’t stop,
accelerate or turn as well because your
tire-to-road traction isn’t as good as on
dry roads. And, if your tires don’t have
much tread left, you’ll get even less
traction. It’s always wise to
go slower and
be cautious if rain starts
to fall while you
are driving. The surface may get wet
suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for
driving on dry pavement.
The heavier the rain, the harder it is to
;ee. Even if your Windshield wiper blades
Lre in good shape, a heavy rain can make
t harder to see road signs and traffic
;ignals, pavement markings, the edge of
:he road, and even people walking.
[t’s wise
to keep your wiping equi*rnent
:n good shape and keep your wihhield
washer tank filled. Replace your
windshield wiper inserts when they show
;ips of streaking or missing are& on the
windshield, or when strips
of rubher start
to separate from the inserts.
