2005 DODGE NEON headlight bulb

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.
62 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

If the ABS light remains on or comes on during driving,
it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system
is not functioning and that service is required, however,
the conventional brake system will continue to operate
normally provided that the BRAKE warning light is not
on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced
as soon as possible to restore the benefit of Anti-Lock
Brakes.
The warning light should be checked frequently to assure
that it is operating properly. Turn the ignition key to a
point midway between ON and START. The light should
come on. If the light does not come on, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
4. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
5. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrows will flash in unison with the exterior
turn signal, when using the turn signal lever. (See
page 62 for more information.)6. High Beam Indicator
This light shows that the headlights are on high
beam. Pull the turn signal lever toward the
steering wheel to switch the headlights from high or
low beam.
7. Tachometer Ð If Equipped
The white area of the scale shows the permissible engine
revolutions-per-minute (rpm x 1000) for each gear range.
Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator to
prevent engine damage.
8. Oil Pressure Light
Shows low engine oil pressure. The light will
come on and remain on when the ignition key is
turned from the OFF to the ON position, and the light
will turn off after the engine is started. If the bulb does
not come on during starting, have the system checked
by an authorized dealer.
If the light comes on and remains on while driving, stop
the vehicle and shut off the engine. DO NOT OPERATE
THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE CAUSE IS CORRECTED.
