r It’s better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to,
here are some things to know.
I
F- I
A CAUTION:
Idling the engine with the air system control off could allow
dangerous exhaust into your vehicle (see the earlier Caution
under “Engine Exhaust”).
Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxide
(CO) into your vehicle even if the fan switch is
at the highest
setting. One place this can happen
is a garage. Exhaust -- with
CO -- can come in easily. NEVER park in a garage with the
engine running.
Another closed-in place can be a blizzard. (See “Blizzard” in the
Index.)
It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is
not fully in
“P” (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. Your
vehicle can roll. Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is
running unless you have to.
If you’ve left the engine running,
the vehicle can move suddenly. You
or others could be injured.
To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly
level ground, always set your parking brake move the shift lever
to
“P” (Park).
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle won’t move.
If you are parking on
a hill, or if you’re pulling a trailer, also see
“Parking on Hills” or “Towing
a lkailer” in the Index.

The turn signal has
two upward (for Right)
and
two downward
(for Left) positions.
These positions allow
you to signal a turn or
a lane change.
-- To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return automatically.

A green arrow on the
instrument panel will
flash in the direction
of
the turn or lane
change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete
your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t flash but just
stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your
turn signal.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see
“Fuses”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meet all applicable federal
lighting requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own
lighting regulations that may require special attention before you operate
these lights. For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate
your lower beam lights with fog lamps at all times, or that headlights be
turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at
dawn
or dusk. It is recommended that you check with you own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.

headlights
from low
beam to high or high
