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.
If
you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps,
a different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will flash
even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they
are working.

You control the windshield
wipers by turning the band

to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will

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 LOW, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at
low speed, turn the band away
from
you to the LOW position. For high-speed wiping,
turn the band further,
to HIGH. To stop the wipers,
move the band
to the OFF position.

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.
Ending 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 transmission.
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Lamps
The switches are on the driver’s side of your
instrument panel.

Daytime Running Lamps (If So Equipped)

conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your headlamps come
on at
reduced brightness when:
0 the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off, and
the parking brake is released.

is
a reminder to turn your headlamp switch on. The
other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come
on.

lamps will

the reduced brightness
of DRL.

brake. The DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.

headlamp system when
you need it.
