To change the
headlamps from low
beam to high or high
to low, pull the
multifunction lever all
the way toward you.
Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this blue
Windshield Wipers
indicator light on the
instrument panel also
will be on.
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 wipe. If you want
more wipes, hold the band
on MIST longer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 worn or 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 worn
or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The windshield wiper motor is
protected from overload by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor
overheats due
to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
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.

In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
I
NOTICE:
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.
Cruise Control (Option)
If you have Cruise
Control, the end
of
your multifunction
lever will
look like
this.
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 km/h).

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
km/h) 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.
1. 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.

2. lvlove the Cruise
switch from
ON
to WA
(Resume/Acceler
ate). Hold
it there
until you get up
to the speed you
want, and then
release the
switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to WA
(Resume/Accelerate). Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about
1
mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
To Reduce 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 kmh) slower.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
want 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.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
To Erase Speed Memory
0 Step lightly on
the brake pedal or
push the clutch
pedal,
if you have
a manual
transmission.
0 Move the Cruise
switch to
OFF.
When you turn off the Cruise Control or the ignition, your Cruise Control
set speed memory is erased.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) lndicator Light
I You may have this
light
on the instrument
panel.
It goes on
whenever the Daytime
Running Lamps
are
on, the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is
off, and the parking
brake is released.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier to see the front of your
vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful when it’s raining and
in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Several countries, including
Canada, require DRL. Vehicles sold
in the United States may have this
option.
The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come
on at a
reduced brightness when:
The ignition is on,
0 The headlamp switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps will be on. The
taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’t be
on. Your instrument panel
won’t be lit up either.
When it begins
to get dark, your DRL indicator light is a reminder to turn
your headlamp switch on. The other lamps that come
on with your
headlamps will also come on.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular lamps
will go off, and
your high-beam headlamps will change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking brake. The DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking brake.
Headamps-On Reminder
A reminder tone will sound when your headlamps or parking lamps are
turned
on and your ignition is in OFF, LOCK or ACC. To turn the tone off,
press the OFF switch.
