legs more room when you exit and enter the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the
lever toward you. Move the steering wheel to a
comfortable level, then release the lever to lock the
wheel into place.

To change the headlamps
from low beam to high or
high to low, push the turn
signal lever all the way
forward. When the high
beams are on, this light on
the instrument panel also
will be on. To change the
headlamps from high to
low, pull the lever rearward.
Flash-To-Pass
Momentarily pull the turn signal lever toward you.
The high-beam indicator will flash to indicate to the
other driver that you intend to pass. If the low-beam
headlamps are off and you have the optional fog lamps
on, the fog lamps will flash.
Windshield Wipers
You can control the windshield wipers by moving the
lever with the wiper symbol on it. This lever
is located
on the right side of your steering column.
For a single wiping cycle, push the lever down to MIST.
Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The
wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
will not be on.
When you turn on your headlamps, your front turn
signal lamps (DRL) will go out. The other lamps that
come on with your headlamps will also come on.
On vehicles built for Canada, when it’s dark enough
outside, your front turn signal lamps will automatically
go out and your headlamps will come
on. The other
lamps that come on with your headlamps will also come
on. When it’s bright enough outside, the headlamps
will go off, and your front turn signal lamps (DRL)
will come ,on.
Also on Canadian vehicles, there is a light sensor in the
defroster grille, at the base of the windshield and the
instrument panel. This sensor makes the DRL work
automatically, so be sure it isn’t covered.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps (Option)
Use your fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. Your parking lamps or low-beam headlamps
must be on or your fog lamps won’t work.
To turn the fog lamps on, push the button located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering column.
A
light on the button will come on when the fog lamps
are on. Push the button again to turn the fog lamps off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
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 suffer from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren’t even aware of it.

do this a few
times to get the half-open position.
