Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
An arrow on the instrument panel
cluster ashes in the direction of the
turn or lane change.
Move the lever all the way up or
down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever until the
arrow starts to ash to signal a lane
change. Hold it there until the
lane change is completed. If the
lever is briey pressed and released,
the turn signal will ash three times.The lever returns to its starting
position whenever it is released.
If after signaling a turn or lane
change the arrow ashes rapidly
or does not come on, a signal bulb
may be burned out.
Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb
is not burned out, check the fuse.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-92.
Turn Signal On Chime
If either one of the turn signals are
left on and the vehicle has been
driven more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km),
a chime will sound.
Headlamp High/
Low-Beam Changer
23
Headlamp High/Low Beam
Changer:Push the turn
signal/multifunction lever away from
you to turn the high beams on.
Pull the lever towards you to return
to low beams.
This indicator light turns on in the
instrument panel cluster when
the high beam headlamps are on.
Flash-to-Pass
With the turn signal lever in the
low-beam position, pull the lever
toward you momentarily to switch to
high-beam, to signal that you are
going to pass.
Instrument Panel 3-7

Making Turns
Notice:Making very sharp turns
while trailering could cause
the trailer to come in contact with
the vehicle. The vehicle could
be damaged. Avoid making very
sharp turns while trailering.
When turning with a trailer, make
wider turns than normal. Do this so
the trailer won’t strike soft shoulders,
curbs, road signs, trees or other
objects. Avoid jerky or sudden
maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a
Trailer
The arrows on the instrument panel
ash whenever signaling a turn
or lane change. Properly hooked up,
the trailer lamps also ash, telling
other drivers the vehicle is turning,
changing lanes or stopping.When towing a trailer, the arrows on
the instrument panel ash for
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer
are burned out. For this reason
you may think other drivers
are seeing the signal when they are
not. It is important to check
occasionally to be sure the trailer
bulbs are still working.
Driving on Grades
Because of the added load of the
trailer, the vehicle’s engine may
overheat on hot days, when going up
a long or steep grade with a trailer. If
the engine coolant temperature gage
indicates overheating, turn off the air
conditioning to reduce engine load,
pull off the road and stop in a safe
spot. Let the engine run while
parked, preferably on level ground,
with the transmission in P (Park) for
a few minutes before turning the
engine off.Reduce speed and shift to a lower
gearbeforestarting down a long
or steep downgrade. If the
transmission is not shifted down, the
brakes might have to be used so
much that they would get hot and no
longer work well.
On a long uphill grade, shift down
and reduce the vehicle speed
to around 55 mph (88 km/h) to
reduce the possibility of the engine
and the transmission overheating.

How to Check Lubricant
To get an accurate reading, the
vehicle should be on a level surface.
If the level is below the bottom of
the ller plug hole, you will need to
add some lubricant. Add enough
lubricant to raise the level to
the bottom of the ller plug hole.
Use care not to overtighten the plug.
What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine what kind of lubricant to
use. SeeRecommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-12.Headlamp Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset at
the factory and should need no
further adjustment.
However, if your vehicle is damaged
in a crash, the headlamp aim may
be affected. Aim adjustment to
the low-beam headlamps may be
necessary if oncoming drivers ash
their high-beam headlamps at
you (for vertical aim).
If the headlamps need to be
re-aimed, it is recommended that
you take the vehicle to your
dealer/retailer for service.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement
bulbs, seeReplacement Bulbs
on page 5-35.
For any bulb changing procedure
not listed in this section, contact
your dealer/retailer.
High Intensity Discharge
(HID) Lighting
{CAUTION
The low beam high intensity
discharge lighting system operates
at a very high voltage. If you try
to service any of the system
components, you could be
seriously injured. Have your
dealer/retailer or a qualied
technician service them.
Your vehicle has HID headlamps.
After your vehicle’s HID headlamp
bulb has been replaced, you may
notice that the beam is a slightly
different shade than it was originally.
This is normal. (A) Filler Plug (B) Drain Plug
