beams are not on. Simply pull the headlamp control toward you to turn on the foglamps.
The foglamp indicator light will illuminate. The foglamps will not operate when the high
beams are activated.

position turns on the parking lamps, instrument panel lamps, license plate lamps and
the tail lamps. Continuing to turn the headlamp control to the second position turns
on the headlamps.
To use the autolamp light-sensitive, automatic on-off control for the headlamps, turn
the headlamp control counterclockwise. If the windshield wipers are turned on for a fixed period of time,
the exterior lamps will turn on with the headlamp control in the autolamp position. To turn autolamps off,
turn the control clockwise to the OFF position.
To activate the high beams, simply push the turn signal lever toward the instrument panel. Pull the lever
toward you to deactivate high beams. Use the same lever to activate the “Flash to Pass” feature. Pull the
lever toward you slightly to activate and release it to deactivate.

panel and all applicable switches in the vehicle during headlamp and parking lamp
operation. Move the control to the full upright position, past the detent, to turn on the
