SWITCHES
17 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.
When setting the knob to the third clickstop (“AUTO”), the
headlights will automatically adjust to full intensity and / or turn
on the other lights depending on the darkness of the
surroundings. Likewise, as the surroundings become brighter,
the headlights will turn to reduced intensity, ultimately turning
off the other lights.
NOTICE:
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the lights on for a long period when the engine is
not running.
HEADLIGHT DIMMER AND TURN
SIGNAL SWITCH
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 flusher is on.

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
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.
The headlights must be on.
