Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Dome Lamp Mirrors
The dome lamp has a
three-position switch.
1: This position is to the left when sitting in the driver’s
seat. The lamp stays off even when a door is open.
2: This is the center position. The lamp comes on when
a door is opened.
Inside Daymight Rearview Mirror
An inside rearview mirror is attached above your
windshield. The mirror has pivots so that you can adjust
it up and down
or side to side.
You can adjust the mirror for day
or night driving. Pull
the tab for night driving to reduce glare. Push the tab for
daytime driving.
Outside Manual Adjust Mirrors
3: This position is to the right when sitting in the
driver’s seat. The dome lamp turns on and stays on
whether
or not a door is open.
Adjust these mirrors by hand
so that you can just see the
side of
your vehicle when you are sitting in a
comfortable driving position.

Drive defensively.

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.
If you’re tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
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.
