Headlamps
A rotary type switch controls the headlamps. The switch is located on
the left side of the steering column. One switch position turns on the following
lamps:
• | The instrument panel lamps |
The second switch position turns on all of the above lamps plus the
headlamps.
An instrument panel lamp dimmer control is provided in order to vary
the intensity of the instrument panel lamps. Turn the control past the full
bright detent in order to turn on the interior courtesy lamps.
Fog Lamp Switch
The fog lamp switch is located in the dimmer switch assembly. The following
conditions must be met in order to turn on the fog lamps:
• | Place the ignition switch in the ON position. |
• | Place the park lamps in the ON position. |
• | Place the fog lamp switch in the ON position. |
• | Turn off the high beams. |
When the fog lamps are turned on (head and park lamps off), the following
lamps must also be on:
• | The front and rear marker lamps |
• | The instrument panel lamps |
When you select the high beam head lamps, the fog lamps turn off.
Turn Signals
Directional signal lamps are combined with the parking lamps on the
front of the vehicle. Turn on the ignition switch in order to operate the
directional signal lamps with the turn signal switch.
With the directional signal lever in the center position, stepping on
the brake pedal illuminates the rear stoplamps on both sides. If the switch
is operating on either side as a directional signal, stepping on the
brake pedal turns on the stoplamp only on the side that is not flashing.
The flasher that is used in this circuit controls only the directional
signals. The flasher is located in the center instrument panel area.
The lane-change directional signal switch is standard equipment. When
making a partial turn, such as when changing lanes, the driver has the option
of moving the switch lever to a detent stop. The signal lamps will continue
to flash as long as the lever is held in this position. The signal lamps
will cancel automatically when the lever is released. Use the detent
position in order to signal a shallow turn or lane change without possibility
of failure to cancel.
Moving the directional signal switch lever past the detent position
to the limit of the lever's travel for either turn will provide conventional
turn signal operation. The front sidemarker lamps will flash with the
turn signal lamps when the park lamps and headlamps are off. When the
parking lamps or the headlamps are on, the front sidemarker lamps will
flash alternately with the turn signal lamps on the same side of the
vehicle.
With the headlamp switch in the ON position, the multifunction (turn
signal) lever also functions as the headlamp dimmer control. Perform the following
steps in order to switch the headlamps to high beam or low beam:
- Pull the lever toward the driver until a click is heard.
- Release the lever.
Hazard Warning Flashers
A hazard warning flasher is standard on all vehicles. The switch control
button is located on the center of the instrument panel. Push the switch control
button in order to disconnect the regular directional signal flasher and
energize the hazard warning flasher. The hazard warning flasher will
work with the ignition switch in any position. The turn signals will not
work with the hazard flasher on. Push on the switch again in order to
cancel the hazard warning flasher.
When the hazard warning flasher is operating, the following components
flash:
• | The directional signal indicator lamps |
• | All front turn signal lamps |
• | All rear turn signal lamps |
• | The front sidemarker lamps |
If the brake pedal is depressed while the hazard warning flasher is
operating, the center high mounted stoplamp will illuminate. The other lamps
will continue to flash.
Backup Lamps
The backup lamps are designed in order to operate under the following
conditions:
• | With the ignition switch in the ON position |
• | With the transaxle in reverse |
Placing the shift lever in REVERSE closes a switch, turning the backup
lamps on. This is accomplished through a switch located on the transaxle
assembly.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime running lamps (DRL) are standard on all vehicles that are sold
in Canada and the United States. The DRLs improve the visibility of the
vehicle when viewed from the front in daylight. The normal DRL system
utilizes the headlamps at a reduced voltage.
Apply the parking brake or place the gear selector in PARK in order
to override the DRL feature. The DRLs are fully active and unaffected
by any further operation of the park brake under the following conditions:
• | With the ignition switch ON |
• | With the parking brake OFF |
• | The gear selector is not in the PARK position |
