c

This part describes the warning lights that arc on your vehiclc. The
pictures will help you locate thcnl.
Warning lights can signal that something is wrong before it becomes
serious enough to cause
an cxpensive repair or rcplaccment. Paying
attcntion to your warning lights could also save YOU or others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of
your vehicle's functions. As you will sei in the details on the nest few
pages, so111e warning lights come
on brioflv when you start the engine just
to let you know they're working. L If you are f;miliar with this section, you
should not be alarmed when this happc"s.
Whcn one of the \ziarning lights cornes on and stays on when you are
driving, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow
this 111;111ual's advice. Waiting to do rcpairs can kc costly -- and even
dangerous. So please get to k110w your warning lights. Thev're a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center that works along
with the warning lights. See "Driver Tnfornxltion Center" in the Index.

Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlamps
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 headlamps 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
headlamps, but they also make a lot of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded
bv approaching lights. It can take a
second or two, or even several seconds, for your eves to readjust to the
dark. When
YOU are faced with severe glare (as frim a driver who doesn’t
lower the
high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), 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 headlamps 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 headlamps 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving with a Trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you’ll want to get to know your rig. Acquaint
yourself
with the feel of Ilandling and braking with the added weight of
the trailer. And always keep in mind that thc vehicle you are driving is
now a good deal longer and not nearly as responsivs as your vehicle is by
itself.
Before you start, check thc trailer hitch
and platform (and attachments),
safety chains, electrical connector, lamps, tires
and mirror adjustment. If
the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving and
then apply the trailer brake controlier by hand
to be sure the brakes are
working.
This lets you check your electrical connection at the same time.
During \Tour trip, check occasionally to
be sure that the load is secure, and
that the’lights and any trailer brakes are still working.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help
you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re towing a trailer.
And, because you‘re a good deal longer,
you’ll need to go much farther
beyond
the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane.
Bucking Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer
to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if
possible, havc someone guide you.
