If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the
DIC will display TURN SIGNAL ON (after
driving about a mile) to remind you to turn it off.
Arrows that
flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by
a burned out signal bulb.
Other drivers won’t see the turn signal.
Replace burned
out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs if the
arrow fails
to work when signaling a turn.
Headlamp High/Low Beam
Pull the turn signal lever all
the way toward you and
then release
it to change the
headlamps from low beam
to high or from high beam
to low. The blue light on the
instrument panel will be on
indicating high-beam usage.
Flash-To-Pass
This lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the
driver in front
of you that you want to pass. It works
even if
the headlamps are off.
Pull the turn signal lever toward you to use. When you do:
0 If the headlamps are off, the high-beam headlamps
will turn on. They’ll stay on as
long as you hold the
lever there. Release the lever to turn them off.
If the headlamps are on low beam, they will shift to
high beam and stay there. Pull
the lever toward you
to return to low beam.
0 If the headlamps are on high beam, they will switch
to low beam. To return to high beam, pull the lever
toward
you.

Pull the knob out to the first stop to turn on the parking
and taillamps, sidemarker lamps and instrument panel
lights. Pull the knob out all the way to turn
on the
headlamps.
You can brighten or dim the instrument
cluster by rotating the headlamp
knob. Press the knob
all the way in to turn them off. The exterior lamps
will automatically turn
on after several seconds of
wiper activation.
Headlamps
Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
approximately
20 seconds.
In order to operate the wiper activated headlamps, the
twilight sentinel must be in the
on position. This feature
lights the way in poor weather and
it also makes your
vehicle more visible to other drivers.
If the wiper
activated headlamps are on, and the ignition switch
is
turned off, the wiper activated headlamps will
immediately turn
off.
The wiper activated headlamps will deactivate if you
turn off the twilight sentinel or if the windshield wipers
have been turned
off for a period of one or two seconds.
Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you pull the key from
the ignition while leaving the lamps on, if the manual
headlamp control is activated. An exception to this is
when you're using twilight sentinel.
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 the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is oft' and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
- 2-41

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior lamps
such
as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel
won't be lit up either.
When it's dark enough outside, the high-beam
headlamps (at reduced intensity) will change to
low-beam headlamps. When it's bright enough outside,
the regular lamps will
go off, and the high-beam
headlamps change to the reduced brightness of
DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
twilight sentinel switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL. The DRL will stay off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.
Fog Lamps
Use the. fog lamps for better
vision
in foggy or misty
conditions. When you press
the
fog lamp button, a small
indicator light will tell you
the
fog lamps are on. Press
the button again to turn
them
off.
If you switch on the high-beam headlamps, the fog
lamps will turn off. They'll turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
When
the twilight sentinel is on and the fog lamp
switch
is activated, only the headlamps will turn off
automatically. The fog lamps and parking lamps will
remain on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Here are some tips on night driving.
0 Drive defensively.
0 Don’t drink and drive.
Since you can’t see as well, you may need to slow
down and keep more space between you and other
vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only
so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
0 If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place and
rest.
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
misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring
directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all the glass
on your vehicle
clean
-- inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt
on the glass. Even the inside of the glass
can build up
a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Night Vision
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase.
A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to see the
same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
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. Remember
that your headlamps light
up far less of a
roadway when
you are in a turn or curve. Keep your
eyes moving; that way, it’s easier
to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim,
so should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer
from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren’t even aware of it.

Hydroplaning
Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up
under your tires that they
can actually ride on the water.
This can happen if the
road is wet enough and you’re
going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning,
it has little or no contact with the road.
Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But
it can if your
tires haven’t much tread
or if the pressure in one or
more is low.
It can happen if a lot of water is standing on
the road. If you can see reflections from trees, telephone
poles or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the
water’s surface, there could be hydroplaning.
Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There
just isn’t a hard and fast rule about hydroplaning.
The
best advice is to slow down when it is raining.
Driving Through Deep Standing Water
~ ~~~~ ~
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or
standing water, water can come in through your
engine’s air intake and badly damage your
engine. Never drive through
water that is slightly
lower than the underbody
of your vehicle. If you
can’t avoid deep puddles or standing water, drive
through them very slowly.
Some Other Rainy Weather Tips
0
0
0
Turn on your low-beam headlamps -- not just your
parking lamps
-- to help make you more visible to
others.
Besides slowing down, allow
some extra following
distance. And be especially careful when you pass
another vehicle. Allow yourself more clear room
ahead, and
be prepared to have your view restricted
by road spray.
Have good tires with proper tread depth.
