Instrument Panel Brightness Control
The DIMMER switch controls the brightness of your
instrument panel lights when your headlamps or parking
lamps are on. Move the switch up or down to brighten
or dim the lamps.
If you turn the switch all the way up,
your courtesy, reading, map and cargo area lamps will
come on. Be sure to turn
off the lamps when you leave
your vehicle.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door or the hatch is opened, the interior
lamps will go on (unless it's bright outside). The lamps
will stay on for about
30 seconds or until you turn on
the ignition.
Door Flood Lamps
There are flood lamps located above the door handle
on each door which come on with the headlamps or
parking lamps.
Front Map Lamps
.. .. .. .. . '
Your inside rearview mirror includes two map lamps.
The lamps will go on when a door
is opened. When the
doors are closed and the ignition is on, press the switch
to turn
on the lamps.
There is also an interior console flood lamp located
underneath the rearview mirror which comes on with the
headlamps or parking lamps.

daytime driving.

I
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving. One
reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired
-- by
alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”?
Or
is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it
highway hypnosis, lack
of awareness, or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch
of road with the
same scenery, along with the hum
of the tires on the road,
the drone of the engine, and
the rush of the wind against
the vehicle’that can make you sleepy. Don’t let it happen
to you!
If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less
than a second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be
aware that it can happen.
Then here are some tips:

Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a
comfortably cool interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to
the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service
or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from
driving in flat or rolling terrain.
