Safety Light
This light is optional and may not be installed on your vehicle.
The safety light is a blue light projected onto the ground in front of the vehicle. The light is projected

The light helps in notifying others that a vehicle is approaching from behind or when crossing a
blind intersection. The light is not visible outdoors in bright light.
The distance of the projected light in front of the vehicle can be adjusted by pivoting the projector
up or down.
Drivers should not become complacent when operating a vehicle equipped with the
safety light.
Always be aware of pedestrians and other vehicles in your lane of travel and stop at all
blind intersections.

with pedestrians or other vehicles causing severe bodily injury and/or property damage.
