use. If you cannot extend the center shoulder belt, make
sure your seatback is fully latched.

LIGHTS
Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever controls the operation of the
parking lights, headlights, headlight beam selection,
passing light, fog lights, instrument panel light dimming
and turn signals. The lever is located on the left side of
the steering column.

Headlight Dimmer Switch
Push the multifunction lever away from you to switch
the headlights to high beam. Pull the lever toward you to
switch the headlights back to low beam.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multifunction lever toward the steer-
ing wheel. This will turn on the high beam headlights
until the lever is released.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped
The front fog light switch is located on the multi-
function lever. To activate the front fog lights, turn
on the parking or low beam headlights and pull
out the end of the lever.
NOTE: The fog lights will only operate with the parking
lights or the headlights on low beam. Selecting high
beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down, and the
arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash, to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.
If either light has a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light
when the lever is moved, it would suggest that the fuse
or indicator is defective or there may be a circuit failure.
NOTE: A tone will chime if the turn signals are left on
for more than 1 mile (2 km).
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once without moving beyond
the detent and the turn signal (right or left) will flash
three times the automatically turn off.

When a door is open and the interior lights are on,
rotating the dimmer control all the way down to the off
detent will cause all the interior lights to turn off. This is
also known as thePartymode because it allows the
doors to stay open for extended periods of time without
discharging the vehicle’s battery.Daytime Brightness Feature
Certain instrument panel components (instrument clus-
ter, radio display) can be illuminated at full brightness
during the daytime. This can be helpful when driving
with your headlights on during the daytime, such as in a
parade or a funeral procession. To activate this feature,
rotate the left stalk one detent lower than the dome light.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
Windshield Wiper Operation
The windshield wiper/washer control lever operates the
windshield wipers and washers when the ignition switch
is in the ON position. The lever is located on the right
side of the steering column.
Rotate the end of the control lever upward to the second
detent for low-speed wiper operation, or to the third
detent for high-speed operation.
