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 your
own state or provincial highway authority
for applicable lighting regulations.

Features & Controls
At dusk, the exterior lights will come on
automatically and the front turn signal
lights will go out.
At dawn, the exterior

Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the

Your Driving and the Road
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. If the road spray is
so heavy
you are actually blinded, drop back.
Don’t pass
until conditions improve.
Going more slowly
is better than
having an accident.
Use your defogger
if it helps.
Have good tires
with proper tread
depth. (See “Tires”
in the Index.)
Driving in Fog, Mist
and Haze
Fog can occur with high humidity or
heavy frost. It can be
so mild that you can
see through
it for several hundred feet
(meters). Or
it might be so thick that you
can see only a few feet (meters) ahead.
It
may come suddenly to an otherwise clear
road.
And it can be a major hazard.
When you drive into
a fog patch, your
visibility will be reduced quickly. The
biggest dangers are striking the vehicle
ahead or being struck
by the one behind.
Try to “read” the fog density down the
road. If the vehicle ahead starts to become
less clear or, at night,
if the taillights are
harder to see, the fog is probably
thickening. Slow down to give traffic behind you
a chance to slow down.
Everybody then has a better chance
to
avoid hitting the vehicle ahead.
A patch of dense fog may extend only for
a few feet (meters) or for miles
(kilometers);
you can’t really tell while
you’re
in it. You can only treat the
situation with extreme care.
One common fog condition
- sometimes
called mist or ground fog
- can happen
in weather that seems perfect, especially
at
night or in the early morning in valley
and low, marshy areas.
You can be
suddenly enveloped
in thick, wet haze
that may even coat your windshield. You
can often spot these fog patches or mist
layers
with your headlights. But
.. 158

sometimes they can be waiting for you as
you come over a hill or dip into a shallow
valley. Start your windshield wipers and
washer, to help clear accumulated road
dirt. Slow down carefully.
Tips on Driving in Fog
If you get caught in fog, turn your
headlights on low beam, even
in daytime.
You’ll see
- and be seen - better. Use
your fog lights
if your vehicle has them.
Don’t use your high beams. The light will
bounce off the water droplets that make
up fog and reflect back at you. Use
your defogger. In high humidity, even
a light buildup of moisture on the inside
of the glass will cut down on your already
limited visibility. Run your windshield
wipers and washer occasionally. Moisture
can build up on the outside glass, and
what seems to be fog may actually be
moisture on the outside of your
windshield.
Treat dense fog as an emergency. Try to
find a place to pull off the road. Of course
you want to respect another’s property,
but you might need to put something
between you and moving vehicles
-
space, trees, telephone poles, a private
driveway, anything that removes you
from other traffic.
[f visibility is near zero and you must stop
but are unsure whether you are away from
the road,
turn your lights on, start your
hazard warning flashers, and sound your
horn at intervals or when you hear
approaching traffic.
Pass other vehicles in fog only if you can
see far enough ahead to pass safely. Even
then, be prepared to delay your pass if
you suspect the fog is worse up ahead. If
other vehicles try to pass you, make
it
easy for them.
