1996 CHEVROLET TRACKER high beam

Horn
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes
your:
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer and Passing Signal
Lighting Operation
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow
you to signal a turn
or a lane change.
To signal a tum, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will return automatically.
To sound the horn, press one of the horn symbols on
your steering wheel.
?ttm Signal/Multifunction Lever
An &ow on the instrument
panel will
flash in the direction
of the turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just
raise or lower the lever until
the arrow starts to flash.
Hold it there until you
complete your lane change.
The lever will return
by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the mows 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, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in
the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.

towad you to momentarily switch to high beam (to
signal that you are going to pass). When you release the
lever, the headlamps will return
to low-beam operation.
Windshield WipedWasher Lever
The lever on the right side of the steering column
controls the windshield wipers
and washers. Move the wiper switch
to the position
you want:
OFF: The wipers are off.
INT Intermittent wiper operation. In light rain or snow,
you might want to use this position rather than
continuous wiping.
LO: The wipers will run continuously at low speed.
HI: The wipers will run continuously at high speed.
For a single wiping cycle, pull the lever toward
you.
Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The
wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more
cycles, hold the lever longer.
Be sure
to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before
using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades
or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice
can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice
to prevent an overload.

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 rnisaimed headlamps),
slow down
a little. Avoid staring directly into the
approaching headlamm. 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 glws
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 frsm night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren’t even aware
of it.
