Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. When the turn is nished, the lever will
return automatically.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the
lever for less than one second until the arrow
starts to ash. This will cause the turn signals
to automatically ash three times. It will ash
six times if the tow-haul mode is active.
196

Holding the turn signal lever for more than
one second will cause the turn signals to ash
until you release the lever. The lever will return
by itself when it is released.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster will ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb may be burned out and other drivers will
not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and
a blown fuse. SeeInstrument Panel Fuse
Block on page 510andUnderhood Fuse Block
on page 513.Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than
3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at
each ash of the turn signal and the message
TURN SIGNAL ON will also appear in the
DIC. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 248. To turn the chime and message off,
move the turn signal lever to the off position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
53(Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer):To
change the headlamps from low to high beam, push
the lever toward the instrument panel. To return to
low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this indicator
light on the instrument
panel cluster will
also be on.
197

Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam
headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that
you want to pass. It works even if your headlamps
are in the automatic position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you,
then release it.
If your headlamps are in the automatic position or
on low beam, your high-beam headlamps will
turn on. They will stay on as long as you hold the
lever toward you. The high-beam indicator on
the instrument panel cluster will come on. Release
the lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle, turn the
band to mist. Hold it there until the wipers
start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after
one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the band
on mist longer.
6(Delay):You can set the wiper speed for a
long or short delay between wipes. This can be
very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to
choose the delay time. The closer to the top of
the lever, the shorter the delay.
6(Low Speed):For steady wiping at
low speed, turn the band away from you to the
rst solid band past the delay settings.
1(High Speed):For high-speed wiping,
turn the band further, to the second solid band
past the delay settings.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band
to off.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If
your blades do become worn or damaged, get
new blades or blade inserts.

The URPA display is
located above the rear
window towards the
center of the vehicle
and can be seen
by looking over your
right shoulder.
The URPA display has three color-coded lights.
The lights are used to provide distance and system
information, along with beeps that will be heard
through the speakers.
URPA can be turned off
by pressing the rear park
aid disable button
located next to the radio.
The indicator light will
come on to indicate that
URPA is off.The red light in the URPA display will also be lit if
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). If the vehicle
has a Driver Information Center (DIC), PARKING
ASSIST OFF will display on the screen. URPA
automatically turns back on each time the vehicle
is started.
How the System Works
When the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R),
the rear display will briey come on to let you
know the display is operating correctly. URPA
comes on automatically when the shift lever
is moved into REVERSE (R).
The system does not work at a reverse speed
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h). To remind you of this,
the red light on the rear display will ash.

H(Vent):This setting will deliver air to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode allows for split air to
the instrument panel outlets and to the oor
outlets. The ow can be divided between vent and
oor outlets depending upon where the knob is
placed between the settings. A little air is directed
towards the windshield and side window vents.
Cooler air is directed to the upper vents and
warmer air to the oor vents.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air
to the oor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the
system will automatically select Outside Air.
-(Defog):See “Defogging and Defrosting”
later in this section.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
the recirculation mode on. When the button
is pressed, an indicator light will come on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and
odors from entering your vehicle. Recirculation
may also help cool the air inside your vehicle
more quickly once the temperature inside
the vehicle is less than the outside temperature.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with
oor, defrost, or defogging modes.
If you try to select recirculation in one of those
modes, the indicator will ash three times and turn
off. The air conditioning compressor will also
come on when this mode is activated. While in
recirculation mode the windows may fog when
the weather is cold and damp. To clear the
fog, select either the blend or defrost mode and
increase the fan speed. Recirculation mode can
be turned off by pressing the button again, or
turning off the engine.
