FIRST CLICKSTOP: Only the parking, tail, license plate, side
marker and instrument panel lights turn on.
SECOND CLICKSTOP: Headlights also turn on.

headlight indicator lights up in the instrument cluster.
Vehicles sold in Canada: When the tail lights are on, the tail
light indicator lights up in the instrument cluster.
The lights automatically turn off when the driver’s door is
opened with the ignition turned off. To turn them on again, turn
the ignition key to the “ON” position or actuate the headlight
switch. If you are going to park for over one week, make sure
the headlight switch is off.When the headlight switch is turned to the first or second
clickstop, the brightness of the instrument cluster will be
reduced slightly unless the instrument panel light control knob
is turned fully on.
Daytime Running Light System (Canada only)
The headlights turn on when the parking brake is released with
the engine started, even with the light switch in the “OFF”
position. They will not go off until the ignition switch is turned
off.
To turn on the other exterior lights and instrument panel lights,
twist the knob to the first clickstop.
Under the daytime running light system, the headlights turn on
at reduced intensity. Twist the knob to the second clickstop to
turn to full intensity for driving at night.
NOTICE:
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.

SWITCHES
17 For high beam, push the lever forward. Pull it back for low
beam. For the headlight flasher, pull it further back.
A blue light in the instrument cluster indicates high beam or
headlight flasher is on.
The headlight flasher works even when the headlight switch is
off.
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the “ON” position.The turn signal is self-cancelling after a turn, but after a lane
change, you may have to cancel it by hand. You can also signal
a lane change by moving the turn signal lever partway and
holding it there. If the green light in the instrument cluster
flashes faster than normal, it indicates that the front or rear turn
signal bulb has burned out. If this indicator light does not come
on, the fuse or the indicator light itself has probably failed. You
may change headlight beam even while the turn signal lights
are flashing.
FOG LIGHT SWITCH
To turn on the fog lights, turn the switch to the “ON”
position. The fog lights come on only when the headlights
are on low beam.
