Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
You will hear a warning chime if you open any door
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 (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.
The DRL system will make
the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
0 the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is off and
6 the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
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. YGW instsument panel
won't be lit
up either.
When the twilight sent!xL s\s-i:ch is 011 and it's dark
enough outside. the hi@1-ixaE
hea&s (at reduced
intensity)
will turn off and nor:nal low-beam headlamy
operation will occur.
When the t\:..iiight sentinel switch
is on and it's bright enough otltsids.
the regular lamps
will
go off, and the high-beax headlmps at reduced
brightness will
take ovc- for the DRL.
If it's dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel
control is off. a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the DIC. This message infotms the driver
that turning
on the exterior lamps is reconmended even
though the
DRE are still illunlinated (it's become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning
on the twilight sentinel, the
headlamp switch or the fog lamp switch will remove
the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message.
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.
Ths 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
that the fog lamps and the
park.ing 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. the fog lamps will remain
on as well as the
headlamps and parking lamps.

The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering. The
control
is next to the
headlamp knob. It
automatically switches
the
lamps on and off by sensing
how dark
it is outside.
To operate the twilight
sentinel, leave the lamp
knob
off and move the
TWILIGHT control to any
position but
OFF.
If you move the control all the way to the right, the
lamps
will remain on for approximately three minutes
after the ignition has been turned
to the OFF or LOCK
position. It you move the control so it is just on. the
lamps will go
off quickly when you turn the ignition
switch out of RUN. You can adjust the delay time from
only a few seconds to three minutes.
If it's dark enough outside and the twilight sentinel control
is
off. a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the DIC. This message infoms the driver that
turning on the exterior lamps is recommended (it's become
dark enough outside
to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning on the twilight sentinel, the
headlamp switch or the
fog lamp switch will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.

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 nuke 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
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.
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 sufkr from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren’t even aware of it.
