The Twilight Sentinel Does Two
Things: First,
depending on how dark it
becomes outside, the Twilight Sentinel
turns your headlights on automatically,
when they’re needed. Avoid covering the
sensor located near the windshield, by
the defroster outlet-otherwise your
headlights will
stay on.
Also, it’s possible that your headlights might go out if you drove from a dark
area into
a bright area, such as a lighted
parking lot. If this happens, turn on
your headlights with the regular
headlight switch.

Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle-like a
tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio-be
sure you can add what
you want. If
you can, it’s very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment
may interfere with the operation
of
your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio
or other systems, and can even
damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that
has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound
equipment, check with your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and
telephone units.

‘Your Driving and the Road
Steering in Emergencies (CONI)
An emergency like this requires close
attention and a quick decision.
If you
are holding the steering wheel at the
recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions,
you can turn it a full
180 degrees very
quickly without removing either hand.
But you have
to act fast, steer quickly,
and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object. You
must then be prepared to steer back to
your original lane and then brake
to a
controlled stop.
Depending
on your speed, this can be
rather violent for an unprepared driver.
This is one of the reasons driving
experts recommend that you use
your
safety belts and keep both hands on the
steering wheel.
The fact that such emergency situations
are always possible is a good reason to
practice defensive driving at all times.

Off-Road Recovery
You may find sometime that your right
wheels have dropped off the edge
of a
road onto the shoulder while you’re
driving.
If the level of the shoulder is
only
slightly below the pavement, recovery
should be fairly easy. Ease off the
accelerator and then, if there is nothing
in
the way, steer so that your vehicle
straddles the edge of the pavement. You
can turn the steering wheel up to
5/4 turn
until the right front tire contacts the
pavement edge. Then
turn your steering
wheel to go straight down the roadway.
If the shoulder appears
to be about four
inches
(100 mm) or more below the
pavement, this difference can cause problems.
If there is
not enough room to
pull entirely onto the shoulder and stop, then follow the same procedures. But if
the right front tire scrubs against the side of the pavement, do
not steer more
sharply. With too much steering angle,
the vehicle may jump back onto the road
with
so much steering input that it
crosses over into the oncoming traffic
before you can bring it back under
control. Instead, ease off again on the
accelerator and steering input, straddle
the pavement once more, then
try again.
