Ignition Positions
Use the key to turn the ignition switch to
four different positions.
A (LOCK):This position locks the ignition and
transmission. It is a theft-deterrent feature. You will
only be able to remove the key when the ignition
is turned to LOCK.Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or break
the key. Use the correct key and turn the key
only with your hand. Make sure the key is all the
way in. If it is, turn the steering wheel left and
right while you turn the key hard. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
B (ACCESSORY):This position lets you use
things like the radio and the windshield wipers
when the engine is off.
Lengthy operation of features such as the radio in
the accessory ignition position and the RUN
position may drain the battery and prevent your
vehicle from starting. Do not operate your vehicle
in the accessory ignition position for a long
period of time.
C (RUN):This is the position for driving. It is the
position the switch returns to after the engine
starts, and you release the key.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ACCESSORY or RUN position with the
engine off. You may not be able to start your
vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for
an extended period of time.
D (START):This position starts the engine.

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. 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.

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.

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.
LQ(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of
the multifunction lever. Push the paddle to
spray washer uid on the windshield. The wipers
will clear the window and then either stop or
return to the preset speed.
_(Heated Washer Fluid):If your vehicle has
the heated windshield washer uid system, it
is used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs
from your windshield.To activate Automatic mode for de-icing, press the
heated washer button located above the
headlamp switch on the left side of the dash.
Pushing the heated washer uid button will
activate the heated windshield washer uid
system. This activation will initiate four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The rst heated wash/wipe
cycle may take up to 40 seconds to occur,
depending on outside temperature. After the rst
wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to 20 seconds
for each of the remaining cycles. The heated
windshield washer uid system may be turned off
at any time by pushing the button again prior
to the completion of 4 wash/wipe cycles.
When the heated windshield washer uid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may ow out of the washer
nozzles for a short period of time before washer
uid is sprayed. This is a normal condition.
A message will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the washer uid is
low. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 226.
