To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until

and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index)
and for burned-out bulbs.

You control the windshield
wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
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 cycle.
If you want more cycles, hold the
band
on MIST longer. 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
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the
LO position. For high speed wiping,
turn the band further, to HI. 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’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades
do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.

With cruise control, you can
maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more
without keeping your foot
on the accelerator.
This can
really help on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes or push the clutch pedal
the cruise control shuts off.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the
ASR system
begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. (See
"ASR System'' in the
Index.) When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may turn the cruise control back on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Set Cruise Control To Resume a Set Speed
1. Turn the cruise control on.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Push in the set button
at the end
of the lever
and release
it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Suppose you set your cruise control
at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake or clutch pedal.
This, of
course, shuts off the cruise control. But you don’t need
to reset it.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise
control switch to IUA
(Resume/Accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up
to your chosen speed and stay
there.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the
first:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push the button at the end of the lever, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now
cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way to go to a higher speed:
Move the cruise switch to R/A. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed you want,
and then release
the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the switch to
R/A for less than half a second and then
release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will
go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
0 To slow down in very small amounts, push the
button for less than half a second. Each time you
do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load, and the steepness
of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake
takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find ths to
be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are several ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch
pedal, if you have a manual transmission;
OR
0 Move the cruise switch to OFF,
To Erase Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlamp Doors
The headlamp doors are designed to open when you
turn the headlamps on and close when you turn the
headlamps and parking lamps off. If you turn the
headlamps on, then turn the headlamp switch back to
the parking lamps setting, the headlamp doors will stay
open. You
can open the doors manually using the knob next to
the headlamp assembly. Turn the knob counterclockwise
until the doors are open.
The headlamp doors should be open when driving in icy
or snowy conditions to prevent the doors from freezing
closed and when washing the vehicle to help clean the
headlamps.
Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.
