• With the light switch at the O or :oo:: position , only your front fog
lights remain turned on when it turns dark outside . Even though
your instrument s appear well lit, the road ahead of you is not. The
light pattern provided by fog lights alone is not sufficient for safe
driving in poor light or darkness. Therefore:
• Always be aware of changes in outside light conditions while
you are driving. Respond in time to fading daylight by turning the
light switch to position
io (or "AUTO" if your car is equipped with
t his feature)
to turn on your headlights . •
