page 163.
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
automatically return to the off position.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until the
change is completed. The lever will return by
itself when 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 vehicle’s 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
signaling a turn, check for a burned-out bulb or a
blown fuse. For bulb replacement, seeTaillamps,
Turn Signal, Stoplamps and Back-up Lamps
on page 364. For a blown fuse or circuit breaker,
seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 426.

Turn Signal On Chime
If a 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
will also appear in the DIC. To turn the chime
and message off, move the turn signal lever to
the off position.
See “TURN SIGNAL” underDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 198for more information.
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.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use the high-beam
headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that
you want to pass. It works even if the 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.
The windshield wipers work in all ignition positions,
except off. This includes the Retained Access
Power mode. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 117.
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.
161

N(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 position past the delay settings.
1(High Speed):For high-speed wiping, turn
the band to the second solid position 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’re frozen to
the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become worn or damaged,
get new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
QL(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top
of the multifunction lever. To spray washer uid on
the windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will
clear the window and then either stop or return to
your preset speed.
