enough and will not let you see far enough ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when it is  
dark. Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it is dark.  
The taillights do not come on with the daytime running lights. Unless the taillights are on,  
a vehicle cannot be seen by others in bad weather, at dusk, or when it is dark.  
Even if automatic headlights (ꢁꢂꢃꢀ) are switched on, the low-beam headlights may still not  
come on by themselves in fog or heavy rain. You have to switch on the low-beam headlights  
manually.  
In cool or humid weather, the insides of the headlights, the rear lights, and turn signals can  
temporarily fog up. This is normal and does not affect the service life of the vehicle's lighting system.
