Notice:Your engine is designed to work with
the electronics in your vehicle. If you add
electrical parts or accessories, you could
change the way the engine operates. Before
adding electrical equipment, check with
your dealer. If you do not, your engine might
not perform properly. Any resulting damage
would not be covered by your vehicle’s
warranty.
Engine Coolant Heater
If your vehicle has this feature, in very cold
weather 0°F (−18°C) or colder, the engine coolant
heater can help. You will get easier starting
and better fuel economy during engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged
in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your
vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of
the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle
may also have an internal thermostat in the
plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of
the engine coolant heater when the temperature
is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.
To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical
cord. For the 2.2L and 2.4L engine, the
electrical cord is located on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle near the headlamp and the
radiator.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC
outlet.
{CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded
outlet could cause an electrical shock.
Also, the wrong kind of extension cord
could overheat and cause a re. You
could be seriously injured. Plug the cord
into a properly grounded three-prong
110-volt AC outlet. If the cord will not
reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong
extension cord rated for at least 15 amps.

Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel 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 lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel
is located on the left side of the steering column.
To tilt the wheel, pull the lever down. Then, move
the wheel to a comfortable position and raise
the lever to lock the wheel in place.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
GTurn and Lane-Change Signals. See
Turn and Lane-Change Signals on page 156.
23Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 156.
Flash-to-Pass. SeeFlash-to-Pass on page 156.
OExterior Lamp Control. SeeHeadlamps on
page 163.
155

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 nished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. 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
ash 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 the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 381.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high
beam, push the turn signal lever away from you.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal lever toward you.
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.

6(Delay/Intermittent Speed Sensitive):When
the lever is in the delay position, move the
intermittent adjust band to set for shorter or longer
delay cycles. To the left of the adjust band are
bars that indicate the frequency of the wipes.
Smaller bars mean the wiper movement is less
frequent. Larger bars mean the wiper movement is
more frequent.
During intermittent wiping mode, the delay cycle
time is sensitive to vehicle speed. As the vehicle
speed increases your delay cycle time will decrease
and wiper movement will occur more frequently.
9(Off):Move the lever to this position to turn off
the windshield wipers.
8(Mist):Move the lever all the way down to
mist and release for a single wiping cycle.
The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe and
the lever will return to its original position. If
additional wipes are needed, hold the band on
mist longer.
As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on
for more than 15 seconds, the vehicle’s headlamps
will turn on automatically. They will turn off
15 seconds after the wipers are turned off.
Windshield Washer
To wash your windshield, press the button at the
end of the lever until the washers begin.
{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.
When you release the button, the washers will
stop, but the wipers will continue to wipe for about
three times or will resume the speed you were
using before.
158

Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Headlamps
The lever on the left side of the steering column
operates the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp switch has the following
four positions:
2(Headlamps):This position turns on the
headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps.
;(Parking Lamps):This position turns on the
parking lamps and taillamps only.
AUTO (Automatic Headlamp System):This
position automatically turns on the Daytime
Running Lamps during daytime, and the
headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps at night.
P(Off/On):This position is the momentary
Off/On switch for the Automatic Headlamp System.
In Canada, this only works when the vehicles
with an automatic transaxle are in PARK (P) and
vehicles with a manual transaxle have the
parking brake set and the vehicle is not moving.
When operating in AUTO, a momentary turn of the
switch to off/on will turn off the Automatic
Headlamp System. An AUTO LIGHTS OFF
message will display on the driver information
center and a chime will sound. Rotating the switch
to off/on again will turn the Automatic Headlamp
System back on. An AUTO LIGHTS ON message
will display on the driver information center.
The Automatic Headlamp System is always turned
on at the beginning of an ignition cycle for
vehicles with manual transaxle.
