connect with the wheels. To restart when you’re already moving, use
NEUTRAL (N) only. Also, use
NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed.
Shifting out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) while
your engine is “racing” (running at high speed) is
dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the
brake pedal, your vehicle could move very
rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or
objects. Don’t shift out of
PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL
(N) while your engine is racing.

your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you
can use SECOND

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Daytime Running Lamps / Automatic
Light Control
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 below the defroster grille makes the DRL
and Automatic Light Control (ALC) work, so be sure it
isn’t covered. The
DRL system will make your
low-beam headlamps come on at a reduced
brightness when:
0 The ignition is on,
0 The headlamp switch is off,
The transaxle is not in PARK (P) and
The park brake is not set. 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 either.
When it’s dark enough outside, the ALC system will
turn your headlamps on to full brightness. The other
lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also
come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the ALC system will
turn off your regular lamps, and your low-beam
headlamps change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the park brake
while the ignition is off. Then start the vehicle. The
DRL will stay off until you release the park brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
