and enter the vehicle.

lever. Move the steering wheel to a comfortable level,
then release the lever to lock the wheel in place. The lever

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.

Q
An 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 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 rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a
turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index) and
for burned-out bulbs.
Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high
beam to low, pull the turn signal lever all the way
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel will
also be on.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness in daylight when:
0 The ignition is on with the engine running,
The headlamp switch is OFF,
0 The parking brake is released and
0 The transaxle is not in PARK (P) on models with an
automatic transaxle.
This indicator light on your
instrument panel comes on when the DRL are on.
A flashing DRL telltale indicates a possible burned out
headlamp, or that the vehicle may need service
to repair
a stuck DRL relay. When the DRL
are on,
only your high-beam headlamps
will be on at reduced brightness. The taillamps,
sidemarker
and other lamps won’t be on. Your
instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When you
turn on the headlamp switch, your high-beam
headlamps will
go out, and your headlamps will come
on. The other lamps that come on with your headlamps
will also come on.
When you turn
off the headlamp switch, the regular
lamps will
go off, and your high-beam headlamps will
come on at reduced brightness.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL
off, set the parking
brake. The
DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.

Use your fog lamps for better vision in foggy or
misty conditions. The
switch
for your fog lamps is next to the instrument
panel intensity control.
Push the top
of the switch to turn the fog lamps on. Push
the bottom
of the switch to turn the fog lamps off.
When using fog lamps, the parking lamps or low-beam
headlamps must be on.
Fog lamps will go off whenever the high-beam
headlamps
come on. When the high-beam headlamps
go
off, the fog lamps will come on again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several
seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you
are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who
doesn't lower the high beams, or a vehicle with
misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring
directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle
clean
-- inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside
of the glass
can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils
of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your
eyes moving; that way, it's easier to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim,
so should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and aren't
even aware of it.
Driving in Rain and on Wet Roads
1
Rain and wet roads can mean driving trouble. On a wet
road, you can't stop, accelerate or turn as well because
your tire-to-road traction isn't
as good as on dry roads.
And, if your tires don't have much tread left, you'll get
even less traction. It's always wise to go slower and be
cautious if rain starts to fall while you are driving. The
surface may get wet suddenly when your reflexes
are
tuned for driving on dry pavement.
