remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution fol-
lowed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel
wool or other abrasive materials to clean the lenses.

except PARK. This provides a constantlights oncondi-
tion until the ignition is turned OFF. The lights illuminate

OFF. Also, if a turn signal is activated, the DRL lamp on
the same side of the vehicle will turn off for the duration
of the turn signal activation. Once the turn signal is no
longer active, the DRL lamp will illuminate.

light rotary control in the parking light or head-
light position and pushing in the headlight rotary
