Tilt and Telescopic
Steering Wheel
The steering wheel can be adjusted.
The adjustment lever is located on
the left side of the steering column.
Pull the lever down to move the
steering wheel up or down and in
or out. Pull the lever up to lock
the steering wheel in place.
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving.
Turn Signal/Multifunction

steering column includes the
following:
G:Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
3:Headlamp High/Low-Beam
Changer
N:Windshield Wipers
L:Windshield Washer
Flash-to-Pass Feature.
Information for these features is on
the pages following.
For information on the headlamps,
seeExterior Lamps on page 3-11.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
An arrow on the instrument panel
cluster ashes in the direction of the
turn or lane change.
Move the lever all the way up or
down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever until the
arrow starts to ash to signal a
lane change. Hold it there until the
lane change is completed. If the
lever is briey pressed and released,
the turn signal ashes three times.
The lever returns to its starting
position whenever it is released.
If after signaling a turn or lane
change the arrow ashes rapidly
or does not come on, a signal bulb

is not burned out, check the fuse.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-92.

Passing
More passing distance is needed
when towing a trailer. Because
the rig is longer, it is necessary to
go much farther beyond the
passed vehicle before returning to
the lane.
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering
wheel with one hand. Then, to move
the trailer to the left, move that
hand to the left. To move the trailer
to the right, move your hand to
the right. Always back up slowly
and, if possible, have someone
guide you.
Making Turns
Notice:Making very sharp turns
while trailering could cause
the trailer to come in contact with
the vehicle. The vehicle could
be damaged. Avoid making very
sharp turns while trailering.When turning with a trailer, make
wider turns than normal. Do this so
the trailer won’t strike soft shoulders,
curbs, road signs, trees or other
objects. Avoid jerky or sudden
maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a
Trailer
The arrows on the instrument panel
ash whenever signaling a turn
or lane change. Properly hooked up,
the trailer lamps also ash, telling
other drivers the vehicle is turning,
changing lanes or stopping.
When towing a trailer, the arrows on
the instrument panel ash for turns
even if the bulbs on the trailer are
burned out. For this reason you may
think other drivers are seeing the
signal when they are not. It is
important to check occasionally to be
sure the trailer bulbs are still working.
Driving on Grades
Because of the added load of the
trailer, the vehicle’s engine may
overheat on hot days, when going
up a long or steep grade with a
trailer. If the engine coolant
temperature gage indicates
overheating, turn off the air
conditioning to reduce engine load,
pull off the road and stop in a
safe spot. Let the engine run while
parked, preferably on level
ground, with the transmission in
P (Park) for a few minutes before
turning the engine off.
Reduce speed and shift to a lower
gearbeforestarting down a long or
steep downgrade. If the transmission
is not shifted down, the brakes might
have to be used so much that
they would get hot and no longer
work well.
On a long uphill grade, shift down
and reduce the vehicle speed
to around 55 mph (88 km/h) to
reduce the possibility of the engine
and the transmission overheating.

All-Wheel Drive
It is recommended that the all-wheel
drive lubricants be checked and
lled by the dealer/retailer.
When to Check Lubricant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to determine how often to check
the lubricant. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 6-3.
Headlamp Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset at
the factory and should need no
further adjustment.
However, if your vehicle is damaged
in a crash, the headlamp aim may
be affected. Aim adjustment to
the low-beam headlamps may be
necessary if oncoming drivers ash
their high-beam headlamps at
you (for vertical aim).
If the headlamps need to be
re-aimed, it is recommended that
you take the vehicle to your
dealer/retailer for service.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement
bulbs, seeReplacement Bulbs
on page 5-37.
For any bulb changing procedure
not listed in this section, contact
your dealer/retailer.
