parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night.

With the headlights on, push
the lever forward to turn on the

Pull the lever back to the center

Pull the lever toward you to

Release to turn them off. You can
flash the high beams with the

the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight con-
trol system to malfunction.
