Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets 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 your
own state or
provincial highway authoritfi for applicable lighting regulations.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer's instructions for adding water.
Don't mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn't clean as well
as washer fluid.
~ Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it's very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if it
is completely full.
Don't use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Headlight Washer (Export Only)
If you have this feature, you will wash your headlights while washing your
windshield at the same time in bad weather. Just press the
PUSH paddle
on the multifunction lever.
