Daytime Running Light (DRL) system
(all models sold in Canada and some
models sold in U.S.A.)
The Daytime Running Light (DRL) system
can make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day. The
DRL system can be helpful in many differ-
ent driving conditions, but they can be
especially helpful in the short periods after
dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make the headlights
come on when:
The ignition is on with the engine run-
ning.
The knob is in the “OFF” position,
position 1 or position 3 with the tail
lights on.
The parking brake is released.
To turn off the DRL system, twist the knob
to position 2 or position 3 with the head-
lights on, or turn the ignition switch off.
HighLow beams— For high beams, turn
the headlights on and push the lever away
from you (position 1). Pull the lever to-
ward you (position 2) for low beams.
The headlight high beam indicator light
(blue light) on the instrument panel will
tell you that the high beams are on.
Flashing the high beam headlights
(position 3)—Pull the lever all the way
back. The high beam headlights turn off
when you release the lever.
You can flash the high beam headlights
with the knob turned to “OFF”.TURN SIGNALS
To signal a turn, push the headlight/
turn signal lever up or down to position
1.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The lever automatically returns after you
make a turn, but you may have to return
it by hand after you change lanes.
To signal a lane change, move the lever
up or down to the pressure point (position
2) and hold it.
If the turn signal indicator lights (green
lights) on the instrument panel flash faster
than normal, a front or rear turn signal
bulb is burned out.

To adjust the headlight beam level, turn
the dial.
The following list shows examples of prop-
er dial settings. For loading conditions oth-
er than those listed, adjust the dial posi-
tion so that the beam level is the same
as the one obtained according to the list
when only the driver is in the vehicle. The
higher the number of the dial position, the
lower the headlight beam level.
Always keep the headlight beam at the
proper level, or your headlights may
dazzle other road users.
