Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
Turn and Lane-Change Signals. SeeTurn and
Lane-Change Signals on page 3-7.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer. SeeHeadlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8.
Flash-to-Pass. SeeFlash-to-Pass on page 3-9.
Windshield Wipers. SeeWindshield Wipers on
page 3-9.
Windshield Washer. SeeWindshield Washer on
page 3-10.
Cruise Control. SeeCruise Control on page 3-10.
For information on the exterior lamps, seeExterior
Lamps on page 3-14.
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.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
3-7

If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up Display
(HUD), an arrow will also appear in the display area to
indicate the direction of the turn or lane change.
SeeHead-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-19for
more information.
You may also have an arrow in the outside mirror that
ashes when the turn signal is used. SeeOutside Power
Mirrors on page 2-37for more information.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
ash at twice the normal rate, this may indicate that a
signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers will not
see your 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 you signal a turn,
check the fuse and check for burned-out bulbs. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-92.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will ash even
if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front and
rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they
are working. You do not need to add a different asher.Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than three-quarters
of a mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at each ash
of the turn signal. To turn off the chime, move the turn
signal lever to the off position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high
beam or high beam to low beam, pull the turn signal
lever toward you and release it.
While the high beams are
on, this light located on the
instrument panel cluster
will also be on.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up
Display (HUD), this symbol will also appear in the
display area to indicate the high beams are on.
SeeHead-Up Display (HUD) on page 3-19for
more information.

Trunk-Mounted CD Changer
If your vehicle has the CD changer, you can play up to
12 CDs continuously. Normal size CDs may be
played using the trays supplied in the magazine. The
small 3 inch (8 cm) CDs can be played only with
specially designed trays.
Notice:Placing heavy objects, which may shift or
slide while driving, in the trunk could damage
the CD changer. If your vehicle has the optional CD
changer, do not put heavy objects in the trunk.You must rst load the magazine with CDs before you
can play a CD. Each of the 12 trays holds one CD.
Press the button on the back of the magazine and pull
gently on one of the trays. Load the trays from
bottom to top, placing a CD on the tray label side down.
If you load a CD with the label side up, the CD will
not play and an error will occur. Gently push the tray
back into the magazine slot. Repeat this procedure
for loading up to 12 CDs in the magazine.
Once you have loaded the CDs in the magazine, slide
open the door of the CD changer. Push the magazine
into the changer in the direction of the arrow marked on
top of the magazine.

Close the door by sliding it all the way to the left. If the
door is left partially open, the changer will not operate
and an error will occur. When the door is closed,
the changer will begin checking for CDs in the
magazine. This will continue for up to two minutes
depending on the number of CDs loaded.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD
changer door all the way open. The magazine will
automatically eject. Remember to keep the door closed
whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting
inside the changer.Whenever a CD magazine with CDs is loaded in the
changer, CHNGR will appear on the radio display. If the
CD changer is checking the magazine for CDs,
CHNGR will ash on the radio display until the changer
is ready to play. When a CD begins playing, the CD
and track number will appear on the radio display. The
CD numbers are listed on the front of the magazine.

If the error occurred while trying to play a CD in the
CD player or changer, it could be for one of the
following reasons:
It is very hot. When the temperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
You are driving on a very rough road. When the
road becomes smoother, the CD should play.
The CD is dirty, scratched, wet, or upside down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
There may have been a problem while burning
the CD.
The label may be caught in the CD player.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer.
If the radio displays an error message other than the
error codes listed previously, write it down and provide it
to your dealer when reporting the problem.
Personal Choice Radio Controls

transmitter.
To recall audio sources, press the unlock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter and turn the ignition
on. The radio settings will adjust to where they were last

“Setting Preset Stations” and “Setting the Tone”
listed for the radio.
2. Locate the memory buttons on the driver’s
door panel.
3. Press one of the memory buttons, 1 or 2, until you
