Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only)
The front fog lights will come on as Daytime Running
Lights whenever the ignition is on, the headlights are off,
and the parking brake is off. The headlight switch must
be used for normal night time driving.
Lights-on Reminder
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is turned OFF, a chime will sound when the driver's door
is opened. Leaving the headlights on for an extended
period of time will discharge the battery resulting in
reduced battery life and possible inability to start the
vehicle.
Fog Lights Ð If Equipped
The front fog light switch is on the Multi-Function
Control Lever. To activate the front fog lights, turn
on the headlights and pull out the end of the
control lever.
NOTE:The fog lights will only operate with the head-
lights on low beam. Selecting high beam headlights or
park lights will turn off the fog lights.
Turn Signals
Move the Multi-Function Control Lever up or down to
detent and the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and
rear turn signal lights. You can signal a lane change by
moving the lever partially up or down.
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a
very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light
bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the fuse or indicator bulb is
defective.
Headlight Dimmer Switch
Pull the Multi-Function Control Lever towards you to
switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the control
lever a second time to switch the headlights to LOW
beam.
Passing Light
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the Multi-Function Control Lever toward
you. This will cause the headlights to turn on at high
beam and remain on until the lever is released.

CAUTION!
When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use
only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The
use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may
result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it shows a
problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
VEHICLE STORAGE

days you may want to take steps to preserve your battery.
You may:
²Disengage the mini fuse in the Power Distribution
Center labeled IOD (Ignition Off-Draw).
