give your legs more room
when you exit
and enter
the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel
and pull the lever. Move the steering
wheel to a comfortable level, then release
the lever to lock the wheel
in place.

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 start
to flash. Hold it there until you complete
your lane change. The lever will return b!
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 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.
Headlight High/..ow 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 light on the instrument panel
also will be on.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
“OW.”
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.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the turn signal lever there’s a
paddle
with the word “PUSH’ on it. To
spray washer fluid on the windshield, just
push the paddle for less than a second.
The washer will continue to spray
until
you release the paddle. The wipers will
clear the window and stop or return to the
previous setting. If you hold the paddle
for more than a second, the washer will
spray until you release the paddle.

Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your
speed. When you take your foot off the
pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the
Cruise Control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work
on hills depends upon your speed, load,
and the steepness of the hills. When going
up steep hills, you may have to step on
the accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, you may
have to brake or shift to a lower gear to
keep your speed down. Of course,
applying the brake takes you out of
Cruise Control. Many drivers find this to
be too much trouble and don’t use Cruise
Control on steep hills.
... 66
:o Get Out of Cruise Control
’here are several ways to turn off the
bise Control:
. Step lightly on the brake pedal or push
the clutch pedal, if you have a manual
transmission;
OR
!. Move the Cruise switch to “OFF.”
ro Erase Speed Memory
Nhen you turn off the Cruise Control or
he ignition, your Cruise Control set speed
nemory is erased.
Operation of Lights
4lthough your vehicle’s lighting system
:headlights, parking lights, fog lamps,
sidemarker lights and taillights) meets all
applicable federal lighting requirements,
2ertain 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.

Windshield Wiper
Blades
It's a good idea to rotate the wiper blade
assembly
180" every six months. This
changes the wear pattern and makes the
wiper blade insert last longer.
To rotate 01
replace the wipers:
1.
2.
3.
Pull the wiper arm away from the
windshield.
You should be able to see part of a
spring near where the blade connects
to the arm. Press down on the spring
with a screwdriver and pull the wiper
blade
off.
Rotate the blade and push it back ontc
the arm.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of maxi-fuses, mini-fuses
and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
There are three fuse centers on your
vehicle. One
is in the right side of your
instrument panel. Turn the knob and pull
the door to access the fuses. The other
two fuse blocks are in the
engine compartment. One is part of the
Forward Lamp wiring harness
(A), and
the other is part of the ECM-Engine
wiring harness
(B).
Look at the silver-colored band inside
the fuse. If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a
bad fuse with a new one of the correct
size.
If you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
borrow one of the correct value. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that you can
get along without
- like the radio or
cigarette lighter
- and use its fuse, if it
is the size you need. Replace it as soon
as you can.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker
in the switch. An electrical
overload will cause the lights to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain
off. If this
happens, have your headlight wiring
checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.,
the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some
electrical problem and not snow, etc.,
be sure to get
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers protect the power
windows and other power accessories.
When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
