reduced intensity when the engine is started
with the parking brake released. The day-
time running lights operate with the head-

parking brake is released. The daytime run-
ning lights will remain on until the ignition
switch is turned off.
WARNING

is active, tail lights on your vehicle are
not on. It is necessary at dusk to turn
on your headlights. Failure to do so
could cause an accident injuring your-
self and others.
