— When the shift lever is in any
position other than P (Park) or R
(Reverse)
— When the steering wheel is turned
clockwise
. Left-side headlight
— When the headlight switch is ON
— When the shift lever is in any
position other than P (Park) or R
(Reverse)
— When the vehicle is driven at a
speed above 16 MPH (25km/h).
