Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just stay on
a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If
a bulb is burned out, rcplacc it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses’’ in
the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Wiper Activated Headlumps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use
for approximately 23 seconds.
In order
to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the twilight sentinel
must
be in the ON position. This feature lights the way in poor weather
and
it also makes your vehicle more visible to other drivers. If the wiper
activated headlamps are
on, and the ignition switch is turned off, the
wiper activated headlamps
will immediately turn off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you turn off the twilight
sentinel
or if the windshield wipers have been turned off for a period of
one or two seconds.
Headlamp High-Low Beam
To change the
headlamps from low
beam
to high or high to
low, pull the turn signal
lever all
the way toward
you. Then releasc it.
When the high beams
are on, this blue
light
on thc instrument
panel
will also be on.
Flash-To-Pass Feature
This lets you use your high beam headlamps to signal a driver in front of
you that you want to pass. It works even if your headlamps are off.

Windshield Wipers
WIPER: To control the wipers turn the band on the multifunction lever.
MIST: Turn the band toward you and then release it for a single wipe
cycle. For more cycles hold the band on
MIST longer.

HI (high speed), depending on the wiper speed you want.

No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as we get older
these differences increase.
A SO-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 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 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 cyes 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 Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up under your tires
that they can actually ride
on the water. This can happen if the road is wet
enough and you’re going fast enough. When your vehicle
is hydroplaning,
it has little or no contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can
if your tires haven’t much
tread or
if the pressure in one or more is low. It can happen if a lot of
water is standing
on the road. If you can see reflections from trees,
telephone poles, or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple’’ the water’s
surface, there could
be hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There just isn’t a hard
and fast rule about hydroplaning.
The best advice is to slow down when it
is raining.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
Turn on your low-beam headlamps -- not just your parking lamps -- to
help make you more visible to others.
0 Besides slowing down, allow some extra following distance. And be
especially careful when you pass another vehicle. Allow yourself more
clear room ahead, and be prepared
to have your view restricted by
road spray.
0 Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See “Tires” in the Index.)
