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
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,
the 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
DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off shift the transaxle into PARK (P).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 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
c-
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.

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
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
- .. surface, there could be hydroplaning.
I - .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.
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.
Have good tires with proper tread depth. (See “Tires” in the Index.)
