driver in front of you that you want to pass. It works
even
if your headlamps are off.

you. When you do:
If your headlamps are off, your high-beam
headlamps will turn on. They will stay on as long as
you hold the lever there. Release the lever to turn
them
off.
If your headlamps are on but on low beam, the
system works normally. Pull
the lever. Your
headlamps will shift to high beam and stay there.
To return to low beam, pull the lever toward you.
If your headlamps are on and on high beam, your

Lamps On Reminder
If the manual lamp switch is left on (as when someone has
parked your vehicle), you’ll hear a warning chime when
you turn
off the ignition and open the driver’s door.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered
The
DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness
in daylight when:
0 the ignition is on and,
0 the headlamp switch is off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the DRL are on, only your low-beam headlamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up eithe\
r.
When it’s dark enough outside,
your low-beam headlamps
will change to full brightness. The other lamps that come
on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go off, and your low-beam headlamps change to the
reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set your gear
selector in park before you turn on the ignition. Once
you shift out of park, the DRL cannot be turned
off as
long as the ignition is on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need
it.
Cornering La.-ps
If the exterior lamps are on, the cornering lamps will
come on when you signal a turn. This will provide more
light for cornering when its dark.
Sei
The Twilight Sentinel control is under the headlamp
knob. It turns your lamps on and
off by sensing how
dark it is outside. To operate it, leave the lamp knob
off
and move the Twilight Sentinel control to any position
but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to MAX, your lamps
will stay
on for about four minutes after you turn the
ignition to
OFF. If you move the control almost all the
way in the other direction,
so it’s just on, the lamps will ,
go off quickly when you turn the ignition to OFF.
The light sensor is located on
top of the instrument panel.
Do not cover the sensor. If
you do, it will sense that is is
dark outside and your lamps
will come on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What you do in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example,
if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will
have less trouble adjusting to night. But
if you’re
driving, don’t wear sunglasses at night. They may cut
down on glare from headlamps, but they
also make a lot
of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps.
It can take a second or two, or even several
seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you
are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who
doesn’t lower the high beams, or a vehicle with
rnisaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring
directly into the approaching headlamps.
