Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you turn on your headlamps, your front turn
signal lamps (DRL) will go out. The other lamps that
come on with your headlamps will also come on.
On vehicles built for Canada, when it’s dark enough
outside, your front turn signal lamps will automatically
go out and your headlamps will come on. The other
lamps that come on with your headlamps will also come
on. When it’s bright enough outside, the headlamps will
go off, and your front turn signal lamps (DRL) will
come on.
Also on Canadian vehicles, there is a light sensor in the
defroster grille, at the base of the windshield and the
instrument panel. This sensor makes the
DRL work
automatically,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps (Option)
Use your fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. Your parking lamps or low-beam headlamps
must be on or your fog lamps won’t work.
To turn the fog lamps on, push the button located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering column. A
light on the button will come on when the fog lamps are
on. Push the button again to turn the fog lamps off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
