Ignition Switch
Use your square key to start your vehicle. The square key lets you turn the
ignition switch to five different positions: -
I
5
2
3
1. OFF
2. RUN
3. START
4. ACC
5. LOCK
ACC (Accessory): ACC lets you use things like the radio and the
windshield wipers when the engine is
off. To get into ACC, push in the key
and turn it toward you. Your steering wheel
will remain locked, just as it
was before
you inserted the key.
LOCK: This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transmission.
It’s a
theft deterrent feature. You will only be able to remove your key when
the ignition is turned to LOCK.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. Use
OFF if you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine
is
off (for example, if your vehicle is being pushed).
RUN: This is the position for driving.
START This starts your engine.

Headlight High-Low Beam
Windshield Wipers
To change the
headlights from low
beam to high
or high
to low, pull the turn
signal lever
all the
way toward
you. Then
release it.
When
the high beams
are on, this blue light
on the instrument
panel also will be on.
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 to the LO position. For high
speed wiping, turn the band further, to
HI. To stop the wipers, move the
band to the off symbol.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
The windshield wiper motor is
protected from overload by a circuit breaker and a
fuse. If the motor
overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although
the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from
the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
0-
At the top of the lever
there's
a paddle with
the word
PUSH on it.
To spray washer fluid
on the windshield,
push the paddle.
Washer fluid will spray as long
as you push the paddle. When you let go of
the paddle, the wipers will continue to wipe for a few seconds and then
either stop or return
to the preset speed.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous. A bad mud splash can block
your vision.
You could hit another vehicle or go off the road. Check your
washer fluid level often.

4. Remove the
screws from the
bulb retainer and
take the bulb
retainer
off of the
light assembly.
5. Pull the old bulb
straight out
of the
socket.
6. Put in a new bulb and push it in until it is tight.
7. Replace the bulb retainer.
8. Replace the rear light assembly and tighten the screws. You may want
to use
a magnetic screwdriver when installing the screws.
9. Close the tailgate or rear doors.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination
of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the
wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index for more
information.
The headlight wiring is protected by
a circuit breaker in the light switch. An
electrical overload
will cause the lights to flicker on and off, or in some
cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the
motor cools. Although
the circuit is protected from electrical overload,
overload due to heavy snow, etc., may cause wiper linkage damage. Always
clear ice and heavy snow from the windshield before using the windshield
wipers.
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not snow,
etc., be sure to get it fixed.
