Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see
the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs

Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if
the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn.

You will hear a warning chime if you open either door
while leaving the lamps on, if the manual headlamp
control is activated. An exception to this is when you’re
using twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
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 different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The
DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come
on at reduced brightness when:
0 the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior lamps
such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be
on
when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel
won’t be lit up either. When
the twilight sentinel switch is on and it’s dark
enough outside, the high-beam headlamps
(at reduced
intensity) will
turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur. When the twilight sentinel switch
is on and it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will go
off, and the high-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will take over for the DRL.
If it’s
dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control is off,
a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
This message informs the driver that turning on the
exterior lamps
is recommended even though the DRL
are still illuminated (it’s become dark enough outside
to require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps).
Turning on the twilight sentinel, the headlamp switch
or
the fog lamp switch will remove the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK
(P) disables
the DRL. The
DRL will stay off until you shift out
of PARK (PI.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better
vision
in foggy or misty
conditions. When
you press
the
fog lamp button, a small
indicator light will tell you
that the fog lamps and the
parking
lamps are on. Press
the button again to
turn
them off.
If you switch on the high-beam headlamps. the fog
lamps will turn off. They'll turn back on again when
you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
When the twilight sentinel is on and the fog lamp switch
is activated. the fog lamps will remain on as well as the
headlamps and
parking lamps.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.
Twilight Sentinel
The control is next to
the headlarnp knob. It
automatically switches the
lamps
on and off by sensing
how dark
it is outside.
To operate the twilight
sentinel, leave the lamp
knob
off and move the
TWILIGHT control to any
position but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to the right, the
lamps will remain on for approximately three minutes
after the ignition has been turned
to OFF or LOCK. If
you move the control so it is just on, the lamps will go
off quickly when you turn the ignition switch out of
RUN. You can adjust the delay time from only a few
seconds
to three minutes.

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
headlamps. 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 headlamps. 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.
