## driving tip 

Drive with the low beam headlights on during the day if your car does not have automatic daytime running lights.

Daytime running lights do not activate the tail lights. Do not use them for nighttime driving or for low visibility conditions.

## Lights 

The first position of the light switch controls the tail lights, parking lights and side‑marker lights, as well as the dashboard and licence plate lights. The second position controls the headlights. 

Your vehicle will have another switch position or separate switch that controls the two brightness settings of the headlights — low beam and high beam. Use the high beam setting only on unlit roads at night when there aren’t any vehicles approaching or in front of you. 

Use the parking lights when you are stopped and want to make sure your vehicle is visible. Don’t use these lights when your vehicle is moving — put the headlights on instead. 

Vehicles made after 1991 have automatic daytime running lights (DRL), a safety feature that makes your vehicle easier for other drivers to see during daylight hours. Daytime running lights do not activate the tail lights. Do not use them for nighttime driving or for low visibility conditions. Use the low or high beam lights. 

## Hazard light switch 

The hazard light switch activates both turn signals at the same time. These flashing lights tell other road users to be careful near your vehicle because you may have stopped for an emergency. 

## Cruise control 

Cruise control lets you pre‑set a speed that will stay the same. Use it only under ideal highway driving conditions. Never use the cruise control feature: 

• on wet, slippery, snowy or icy surfaces 

• in urban traffic 

• when you are tired 

• on winding roads. 

## Wipers and washer control 

Practise finding the different wiper speed settings. Make sure you know how to turn on the windshield washer. The wipers should always be in top working condition to give you a clear view during rainy and snowy weather conditions. 

## Horn 

Your horn is an important way to communicate warnings to other road users. Be sure to use it wisely.
