and rear turn signal lamps will flash on and off.
3-3

The hazard warning
flasher button is located
on the center of the
instrument panel.
Your hazard warning flashers work no matter what
position your key is in, and even if the key is not in.
Press the button to make the front and rear turn signal
lamps flash on and off. Press the button again to
turn the flashers off.
When the hazard warning flashers are on, your turn
signals will not work.
Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up at
the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your
vehicle.
Horn
Press the horn symbols on your steering wheel pad to
sound the horn.
Tilt Wheel
Your vehicle has a tilt wheel which allows you to adjust
the steering wheel before you drive. You can raise it
to the highest level to give your legs more room when
you exit and enter the vehicle.
The tilt wheel lever is
located underneath the
steering column slightly to
the left.
To tilt the steering wheel, hold the wheel and push the
lever down. Then, move the wheel to a comfortable
position and pull the lever up to lock the wheel in place.

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
•Turn and Lane-Change Signals
•Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
•Flash-to-Pass
•Fog Lamps, if equipped
For information on the exterior lamps, seeExterior
Lamps on page 3-8.
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 finished, the lever will return
automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. 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
flash rapidly, 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 for burned-out bulbs and then check
the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-85. Uplevel shown, Base similar

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high beam,
push the turn signal/multifunction lever away from you.
When the high beams are

instrument panel cluster
also will be on if the
ignition is turned to ON.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low beam,
pull the turn signal lever toward you.
Flash-to-Pass Feature
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
To use it, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever toward
you until the high-beam headlamps come on, then
release the lever to turn them off.
Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has this feature, use your fog lamps
for better visibility in foggy or misty conditions.
See “Fog Lamps” underExterior Lamps on page 3-8for
further information.
Windshield Wiper Lever
Windshield Wipers
Use this lever located on the right side of the steering
wheel to operate the windshield wipers. The ignition
must be turned to ON to operate the windshield wipers.
HI (High Speed):Move the lever to this position for
wiping at high speed.
LO (Low Speed):Move the lever to this position for
steady wiping at low speed.

An indicator light on the secondary information center
will come on when the DRL system is on. SeeDaytime
Running Lamps Indicator Light on page 3-33.
When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, parking lamps and instrument panel lights
will not be illuminated unless you have turned the
exterior lamps control to the parking lamp or headlamp
position.
The DRL system will turn off when one of the following
conditions are met:
•The ignition is off.
•The parking brake is on.
•The high-beam headlamps are on.
•The low-beam headlamps are on.
•The flash-to-pass feature is used.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has this feature, the control for the fog
lamps is a band located on the middle of the turn
signal/multifunction lever.
While using the fog lamps, the ignition must be turned
to ON and the low-beam headlamps or parking
lamps must be on.
Turn the band to ON to turn the fog lamps on. An
indicator light on the secondary information center will
come on when the fog lamps are on. SeeFog Lamp
Light on page 3-32.
Turn the band to OFF to turn the fog lamps off. The fog
lamps will also turn off when the high-beam headlamps
are turned on. When the high-beam headlamps are
turned off, the fog lamps will turn on again.

Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
whenever the high-beam
headlamps are on.
See “Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer” underTurn
Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 3-5for additional
information.
Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left when the ignition is turned to ON.
When the tank nears empty, the low fuel warning light
will come on. You still have a little fuel left, but you
should get more soon. SeeLow Fuel Warning Light on
page 3-23for more information.

Theft-Deterrent Feature
The theft-deterrent system is designed to discourage
theft of your radio. When the radio and vehicle are
turned off, your radio has a blinking red light to indicate
that the theft-deterrent system is activated.
The theft-deterrent system also activates when the
audio system has been disconnected from the battery.
When this occurs, the AF code and security code
will have to be entered in order to operate your radio.
An identification card stamped with the AF code
and security code will be provided with the vehicle.
Keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle.
To enter the security code do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON.
2. Turn the radio on. AF or COdE will flash on the
display. If AF flashes on the display, go to Step 2.
If COdE flashes on the display, go to Step 4.
3. Enter the AF code by using the preset pushbuttons.
COdE will flash on the display.
4. Enter the security code by using the preset
pushbuttons. When the complete security code is
entered, the code will flash three times.If the security code is not entered correctly, Err will
appear on the display for a few seconds. When
COdE appears back on the display, repeat Step 4.
If the incorrect AF code is entered, an incorrect
frequency level may be chosen and the radio
reception may be affected. If this occurs, reset the
audio system by removing and re-installing the
AUDIO fuse. See “Instrument Panel Fuse Block”
underFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-85for
more information. Then repeat Steps 1 through 4.
Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines.
Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise.
FM
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.
