Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
A green arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal
a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the green 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 don’t flash but just stay
on,
a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
If your vehicle has the digital instrument cluster, the turn signal arrows will
flash at
a faster rate if a signal bulb is burned out.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the green
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If
you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher installed, the signal
indicator will flash even if
a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they are working.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle's lighting system (headlights, parking lig\
hts, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your fog
lamps
only when your lower beam headlights are also on, or that headlights
be turned
on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In addition,
most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with parking lights, especially at
dawn or dusk. It is recommended that
you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting regulations.
Headlight High-Low Beam
To change the
headlights from low
beam to high or high
to
low, pull the turn
signal lever all the
way toward you. Then
release
it.
When the high beams
are
on, this blue
indicator light on the
instrument panel also
will be on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Windshield Wipers
You control the
windshield wipers by
turning the band with
the wiper symbol on
it.
For
a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle.
If you want
more cycles, hold the band
on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for
a long or short delay between wipes. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn
the band to choose the delay time.
The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at
low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO
position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the
wipers, move the band to the off symbol.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent
you from seeing well
enough
to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become damaged, get new
blades
or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop
them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

At the top of the multifunction lever there’s a paddle marked with the
windshield washer symbol and
PUSH. To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the paddle.
The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to your
preset speed.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous.
A bad mud splash can block
your vision. You could hit another vehicle or
go off the road. Check your
washer fluid level often.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
0 When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts
of the washer system. Also, water
doesn’t clean as well
as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only 3/4 full when it’s very cold,
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank if it is
completely full,
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer. It
can damage your washer system and paint.
Rear Window Wipermasher
I
To turn on the wiper, press the part of the switch with the washer
symbol on
it to the first position.
To wash the window, press the part of the switch with the wasner
symbol
on it in all the way. The wipers will continue to work after you
release the switch.
Press “OFF” to turn the wiper off.
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 your fluid level.

With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 kdh)
or more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. This can really help
on long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph
(40 kdh).
If you have a manual transmission and you apply your brakes or push the
clutch pedal, the Cruise Control will shut
off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you apply
the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the Cruise Control. But you don’t need
to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 kdh) or more, you can
move the Cruise Control switch from
ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for
about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Remember, if you hold the switch at
R/A (Resume/Accelerate) longer than
half a second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch
or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose control.
So unless
you want
to go faster, don’t hold the switch at R/A (Resume/Accelerate).
To Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the first:
0 Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Push the button at
the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
