Instruments and controls 3-21 Headlight beam leveler (Canada-spec. 2.5XT) Parking light switch Front fog light button 300134 300133 300135 The 2.5XT has High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights on the low beam setting. The HID headlights generate more light than conventional halogen headlights. Therefore a driver of an oncoming vehicle may experience too much glare when your headlight beam height adjustment is high due to the vehicle carrying a heavy load. The headlight beam leveler can be used to adjust beam height to avoid such a condition. The higher the number the switch is turned to, the lower the beam height becomes. The parking light switch operates regardless of the ignition switch position. By pushing the front end of this switch, following lights will come on. - Parking lights - Front side marker lights - Tail lights - License plate lights To turn off, push the rear end of the parking light switch. Avoid leaving these lights on for a long time because that will run down the battery. The front fog lights operate only when the headlights are on low beam. Push the front fog light button to turn the front fog lights on. However, the front fog lights turn off when the headlights are switched to high beam. Press the button again to turn them off. The indicator light located on the button will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.
