Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set them
up at the side of the road about 300 feet
(100 m) behind your vehicle.
Horn
Press near or on the horn symbols on the 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.

Flash-to-Pass
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.
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.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer
(Hatchback)
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
Your vehicle may have a rear window
washer/wiper. Operate the rear window
washer/wiper system by pushing the windshield
washer/wiper lever away from you. The wiper
operates intermittently when the lever is in the first
position. Washer fluid sprays onto the rear
window and the wiper operates continuously when
the lever is pushed to the second position.
The rear window washer uses the same fluid
bottle as the windshield washer. However, the rear
window washer will run out of fluid before the
windshield washer. If you can wash your
windshield but not your rear window, check the
fluid level.
Cruise Control
If your vehicle has cruise control, you can maintain
a speed of about 24 mph (39 km/h) or more
without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This
can really help on long trips. Cruise control
does not work at speeds below 24 mph (39 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, or the clutch
pedal if you have a manual transaxle, the cruise
control turns off.
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
141

Setting Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when
you are not using cruise, you might hit a
button and go into cruise when you do
not want to. You could be startled and
even lose control. Keep the cruise control
switch off until you want to use cruise
control.
The cruise control pad
is located on the right
side of the steering
wheel.1. Press the ON-OFF button (A) to turn cruise
control on.
2. Accelerate to the speed you want.
3. Press the SET button and release it. The
cruise control light will come on in the
instrument panel cluster to show that the
cruise control is on.
4. Take your foot off the accelerate pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake pedal, or
the clutch pedal if you have a manual transaxle.
This, of course, shuts off the cruise control.
But you do not need to reset it. Once you are
going about 24 mph (39 km/h) or more, you can
briefly press the RESUME button.
You will go right back up to your chosen speed
and stay there.
If you hold in the RESUME button longer, the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release the
button or apply the brake pedal. So unless you
want to go faster, do not hold in the RESUME
button.
142

Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, use them for better
visibility in foggy or misty conditions. The band
located on the middle of the turn signal/
multifunction lever controls the fog lamps.
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 will come on in the secondary
information center on the hatchback or in the
instrument panel cluster on the sedan, when the
fog lamps are on. SeeFog Lamp Light on
page 185.
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.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
This feature controls the brightness of the
instrument panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering
column. Turn the thumbwheel to brighten or dim
the lights.

Audio System(s)
Determine which radio your vehicle has and then
read the pages following to familiarize yourself
with its features.
Driving without distraction is a necessity for a
safer driving experience. SeeDefensive Driving on
page 220. By taking a few moments to read this
manual and get familiar with your vehicle’s
audio system, you can use it with less effort, as
well as take advantage of its features. While your
vehicle is parked, set up your audio system by
presetting your favorite radio stations, setting the
tone and adjusting the speakers. Then, when
driving conditions permit, you can tune to
your favorite stations using the presets and
steering wheel controls if the vehicle has them.{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and
you or others can be injured or killed.
Always keep your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive — avoid engaging
in extended searching while driving.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for
safe driving. Here are some ways in which you can
help avoid distraction while driving.

While your vehicle is parked:
•Familiarize yourself with all of its controls.
•Familiarize yourself with its operation.
•Set up your audio system by presetting your
favorite radio stations, setting the tone, and
