UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 115 To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution followed by rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other abrasive materials to clean the lenses. Daytime Running Lights (Canada - Standard and US Fleet Vehicles - If Equipped) The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate when the engine is started, the transmission is out of the PARK position and the parking brake is released. This provides a constant ЉLights ONЉ condition until the ignition is turned OFF. The lights illuminate at less than normal intensity. If the parking brake is applied or the transmission is in the park position, the Daytime Running Lights will turn off. 3 Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight lenses that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
