Safety Features and Equipment 7-13
CAUTION
Make sure axle shafts or driveshaft are
installed correctly after towing. Tighten axle
shaft and driveshaft nuts to the correct torque
settings. Do not invert shafts.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS
The low beams come ON automatically at
reduced intensity when the engine is started and
the parking brake is released. The daytime
running lights provide added safety by making
the traveling vehicle more visible to other
drivers.
The lights are not used when:
o
Engine is stopped;
o
Parking brake is applied;
o
The exterior lighting switch is turned to the
OFF position.
WARNING
Do not drive with the daytime running lights at
night. For night driving, turn
ON the headlights
by depressing the exterior lighting rocker
switch to the second position. The daytime
running lights do not provide sufficient
illumination for safe driving at night.
FOG LIGHTS
Fog lights provide better visibility in fog and
precipitation. They improve visibility immediately
in front of the vehicle. They also provide added
safety.
NOTE
Some states or provinces may restrict the use
of fog lights. Verify local state or provincial
regulations before using.
CORNERING AND DOCKING LIGHTS
The vehicle may be equipped with up to four
halogen cornering lights. Two lights are installed
at the front of the vehicle, on each side as
standard equipment. Two optional lights may be
installed on each side at the rear of the vehicle.
When activated, the front lights illuminate at the
same time as the turn signal flashers to increase
lateral visibility while turning. The rear lights
illuminate when the reverse (R) range is
selected to increase visibility while backing-up
the vehicle. All four lights will illuminate when the
docking position is selected using the rocker
switch. Refer to chapter: “Controls and
Instruments”.
COMPARTMENT LIGHTING
Baggage and front service compartment lights
are automatically turned
ON when the
corresponding compartment door is opened. A
telltale light on the dashboard illuminates when
the baggage compartment door is open.
MUD FLAPS AND SPLASH GUARDS
Mud flaps are installed behind each front and
tag axle wheel in order to minimize dirt on the
lower panels of the vehicle and prevent stones
and debris from being thrown at vehicles
traveling behind the vehicle. Splash guards may
be installed behind each dual wheel of the drive
axle to prevent stone projectiles from being
thrown at the tag axle wheels.
BACK-UP CAMERA
An optional back-up camera is available which
provides the driver with visual assistance when
backing-up.
The TV monitor may be mounted on the left side
pillar. It switches
ON automatically when the
transmission is in the reverse (R) range.
BACK-UP ALARM
The back-up alarm alerts pedestrians and other
drivers when the vehicle is being backed-up.
Take extra precautions whenever backing-up. If
necessary, use a guide to provide directions
when backing-up. Both the alarm and optional
camera are automatically activated when the
transmission is put in the reverse (R) range.
BACK-UP ALARM CANCEL SWITCH
A rocker switch located on the lateral control
panel allows the driver to cancel the back-up
alarm system (as for example: at night on a
camping site).
NOTE
After use, return to normal operation.
