Interior Features
HEADLAMP CONTROLS
Pull the release lever to release the parking brake. Driving with the parkingbrake engaged will cause the brakes to wear out quickly and reduce fuel
economy.The parking brake is not recommended to stop a moving vehicle.
However, if the normal brakes fail, the parking brake can be used to stop your
vehicle in an emergency. Because the parking brake applies only the rear
brakes, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase greatly and the handling
of your vehicle will be adversely affected.
Your antilock braking system (ABS) detects the onset of wheel lockup during
brake applications and helps prevent wheels from locking during extreme
braking situations. The ABS warning light will illuminate when you start your
engine; however, if it stays on, continues to flash, or fails to illuminate, see your
dealership's service department immediately.
ANTILOCK BRAKES
Push the lever down to activate your left turn signal; up to activate the right
turn signal. To use your windshield wiper washers: For a single swipe, push
the end of the stalk briefly. Push and hold for three swipes with wash. Push
and hold for a longer wash (up to ten seconds). The bars of varying length are
for intermittent wipers. Rotate the windshield wiper control upward for fast
intervals and downward for slow intervals. The control ring on the right side of
the stalk operates the rear window wiper. Rotate the control to the normal
speed (INT2) or intermittent (INT1).
TURN SI GNALS AND WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHERS
This control is on the lower left of your instrument panel. The first position to
your right controls your parking lamps and the second position controls your
headlamps. If your vehicle is equipped with fog lights, pull the control switch
out one position to aid your visibility in fog, snow, or rain.
