Turn Signal and Lane Change
Indicator
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.
I
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 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 the
Index
under Fuses G. Circuit Breakers) and
for burned-out bulbs.

With cruise control, you can maintain a
speed of about 25 mph
(40 km/h) or
more without keeping your foot on the
accelerator.
This can really help on long
trips.

at speeds
below about 25 mph

Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher
speed. Here’s the first:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to
the higher speed.
2. 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. Here’s
the second way to go to a higher
speed:
1. Move the cruise switch from ON to
R/A. Hold it there until you get up to
the speed you want, and then release
the switch.
2. To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move the switch to
R/A for
less than half a second and then
release it. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about
1 mph
(1.6
km/h) faster.
To Reduce Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your
speed while using cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the
lever until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts,
push the button for less than half a
second. Each time you do this, you’ll
go
1 mph (1.6 kdh) slower.

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 or
clutch pedal takes you out of cruise
control. Many drivers find this
to be too
much trouble and don't use cruise
control on steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the
cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal; or
push the clutch pedal, if you have a
manual transaxle;
OR
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
To Erase Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or
the ignition, your cruise control set
speed memory is erased.

Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system
(headlamps, parking lamps, fog lamps,
side marker lamps and tail lamps) 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
lamps. For example, some jurisdictions
may require that you operate your lower
beam lamps with fog lamps
at all times,
or that headlamps be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield
wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions
prohibit drively solely with parking
lamps, especially at dawn or
dusk. It is
recommended that you check with your
own state or provincial highway
authority for applicable lighting
regulations.
Lights On Reminder
If you open the door with the ignition
off and the lights on, you will hear
a
warning chime.

Daytime Running Lights
(CANADA ONLY)
The Canadian Federal Government has decided that
Daytime Running Lights
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during daylight hours. DRL are required
on
new vehicles sold in Canada.
Your DRL work with a light sensor on
top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low beam headlights will come
on
at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released. At dusk,
the exterior lights will come on
automatically and the low beams will
change to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change to the reduced
brightness of DRL (if the headlight
switch is
off).
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the
DRL off,
set the parking brake while the ignition
is in the
Off or Lock position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay
off
until you release the parking brake.
