For nighttime driving, the exterior lights switch should
be in the low beam position to permit activation of the
high beam headlights.
Fog Lights (If Equipped)
To operate the fog lights, pull the headlight
switch out one stop, with the parking lights
and/or low beam headlights on. A light to the
lower left of the headlight switch will illumi-
nate when the fog lights are on.
To turn off the fog lights, push the headlight switch in
fully. Selecting high beam headlights will also turn off the
fog lights.
Standing Lights
When the vehicle is parked on the street, the standing
lights (left or right side parking lights) can be turned on,
making your vehicle more visible to passing vehicles.To operate the standing lights, turn the headlight switch
counterclockwise one stop (right lamps) or two stops (left
lamps) from the OFF position. To turn off the standing
lights, return the headlight switch to the OFF position.
The standing lights cannot be operated when the ignition
switch is in the ON/RUN position.
CAUTION!
Standing lamps are intended for short term use when
parking. If these lights are left on for a long period of
time, your car's battery may drain, causing a possible
starting problem. Assure that the headlamp switch is
in the OFF position when leaving the vehicle.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
There are two maintenance schedules that show the
requiredservice for your vehicle.
Schedule ªAº typically rotates with Schedule ªB.º Follow
Schedule ªAº after the first service interval, Schedule ªBº
after the second service interval, and so on. In some cases
where the service interval has been extended due to very
light duty driving, a Schedule ªBº service may be indi-
cated following a previous Schedule ªBº service. There
are additional service tasks required under Schedule ªB.º
Your Flexible Service System (FSS) Ð see Understanding
