Turning on the high beams
To change the headlamps from low to high beam, push the
lever away from you until it latches, and release. The high beam
indicator in the instrument cluster glows when the headlamps
are on high beam. To change the headlamps from high beam to
low beam, pull the lever toward you until it latches.
Fog Lamps (If equipped)
The fog lamps act as a supplement to the low beam headlamps
under limited visibility conditions such as rain, snow, dust or
fog.
The fog lamps operate only when the low beam headlamps are
on. To operate the fog lamps, turn the headlamp control knob
to the second position (headlamps on) and pull the knob out.
An indicator lamp will glow when the fog lamps are on.
To turn off, push the headlamp control knob in.
To maximize fog lamp bulb life it is recommended that the fog
lamp switch be turned off after each use prior to turning off the
headlamps.
