The light sensor for the
twilight sentinel
is
located in the center of
the front defogger
grille. If you cover the
sensor,
it will read
''dark'' and your 1a11q.x
will come on.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when you signal a turn and the headlamps
or parkine L lamps are on. They provide more light for cornering.
Underhood Lamp
To operate the underhood lamp, turn on your parking lamps. Then the
underhood lamp will illuminate when the hood is open.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful in many
different driving conditions,
but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn
and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be
sure it isn't covered.
The
DRL system will make your low beam headlamps come on at
reduced brightness
when:
The ignition is on
Thc headlamp switch is off, and
The transaxle is not in PARK (,P).
When it's dark enough outside, your low beam headlamps will change to
full brightness. When it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go
off, and your low beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of
D RL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
As with anv vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system
when you need it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
You mav find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge
of a rmd onto the shoulder while you’re driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pave.ment, recovery
should
be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing
in the way, steer so that vour vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
You can turn the steering wheel up to 1/4 turn until the right front tire
contacts the pavement edge. Then turn your steering wheel to go straight
down the roadway.
PASSING
The driver of a vehicle about to pass another on a two-lane highway waits
for
just the right moment, accelerates, moves around the vehicle ahead,
then goes back into the right lane again. A simple maneuver?
Not necessarily! Passing another vehicle on a two-lane highway is a
potentially dangerous move, since the passing vehicle occupies the same
lane
as oncoming traffic for several seconds. A miscalculation, an error in
judgment, or a brief surrender to frustration or anger can suddenly put
the passing driver face to face with the worst of all traffic accidents -- the
head-on collision.
