. ....

Map Lamps (If Equipped)
These lamps are located forward of the dome lamp. To

Battery Saver
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver feature
designed to protect
your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp
(trunk, reading, dome, glove
box, etc.) is left on and the ignition is turned off, the
battery rundown protection system will automatically
turn the lamp
off after 20 minutes. This will avoid
draining the battery. This system does not protect
against leaving on the headlamps.
To reactivate the interior lamps, either:
0 The ignition must be turned on,
0 The activated lamp switch must be turned off, then
A front door must be opened.
The battery rundown protection feature will also be
activated when any door is left open.

Inside Daymight Rearview Mirror Manual
Remote Control Mirror
To reduce glare from lamps
behind you, move the lever
toward you to the night position. The
outside rearview mirror
should be adjusted
so you
can just see the side
of
your vehicle when you are
sitting in
a comfortable
driving position.
Adjust the driver’s side outside mirror with the control
lever on the driver’s door.
To adjust your passenger’s side mirror, sit in the driver’s
seat and have a passenger adjust
the mirror for you.
The mirror is a spring-loaded breakaway design.

A
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.
0 Drive defensively.
0 Don’t drink and drive.

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.
