Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high
beam, push the lever toward the instrument panel.
To return to low-beam headlamps, pull the
multifunction lever toward you. Then release it.
When the high
beams are on, this
indicator light on
the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
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. It works even if your
headlamps are in the automatic position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you,
then release it.If the headlamps are in the automatic position
or on low beam, the high-beam headlamps turn on.
They will stay on as long as you hold the lever
toward you. The high-beam indicator on the
instrument panel cluster comes on. Release the
lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
8(Mist):Turn the band to mist, for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers
start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after
one wipe. If more wipes are needed, hold the
band on mist longer.
9(Off):Move the band to off, to stop the
wipers.
N(Windshield Wipers):Turn the band to
control the windshield wipers.
The wiper speed can be set 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 the top of the lever,
the shorter the delay.
175

Some vehicles have
a cruise light on the
instrument panel
cluster that will come
on when the cruise
control is engaged.
Resuming 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 do
not need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise control switch
briey from on to resume/accelerate.
You will go right back up to the previously chosen
speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, the
vehicle keeps going faster until you release
the switch or apply the brakes. So unless you
want to go faster, do not hold the switch at
resume/accelerate.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the
desired speed and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch briey to resume/accelerate.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
Press in the set button at the end of the lever until
you reach the desired speed, then release it. Each
time you do this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
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 set earlier.
179

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control works 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
nd this to be too much trouble and do not use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move the cruise switch to off, or
Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, the cruise control set speed memory
is erased.
Headlamps
The exterior lamps
knob is located on
your instrument panel
to the left of the
steering wheel.
c(Off):Turn the knob to this symbol and release
it to turn off the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
and the Automatic Headlamps (AHS). An indicator
illuminates when the position is selected. This
position is not available for vehicles rst sold in
Canada.
i(Automatic DRL/AHS):Turn the knob to
this symbol to put the system into automatic
headlamp mode.
180

;(Parking Lamps):Turn the knob to this
symbol to turn on the parking lamps, as well
as the following:
Sidemarker Lamps
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
2(Headlamps):Turn the knob to this symbol to
turn on the headlamps, as well as the following:
Parking Lamps
Sidemarker Lamps
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder tone sounds when the headlamps
or parking lamps are manually turned on, if
the driver’s door is open and the ignition is in
LOCK or ACC. To turn the tone off, turn the
knob all the way counterclockwise.
In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off
once the ignition key is in LOCK.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional DRL are required on all
vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the headlamps come
on at reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps knob is in automatic
headlamp mode.
The light sensor detects daytime light.
The transmission is not in PARK (P).
When the DRL are on, only the headlamps will
be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
will not be on. The instrument panel will not be
lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps
automatically switch from DRL to the regular
headlamps.
181

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the Automatic
Headlamp System turns on the headlamps when
the vehicle is started and after the transaxle
has been shifted out of the PARK (P) position.
The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, and parking
lamps will come on. The instrument panel lights
and radio lights will also turn on at normal
brightness. Once on, the system remains on
during these conditions even if the vehicle
is shifted back into PARK (P).
The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered or the
system may come on whenever the ignition is on
and the vehicle is shifted out of the PARK (P)
position.
The system could also turn on the lamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the
daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp
systems, so that driving under bridges or bright
overhead street lights does not affect the system.The DRL and automatic headlamp system are only
affected when the light sensor sees a change in
lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on after the
transmission is shifted out of PARK (P). Once you
leave the garage, it will take about one minute
for the automatic headlamp system to change to
DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster might not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position.
If the vehicle is running and the automatic
headlamp system is already on, it can be turned off
by turning and releasing the headlamp control at
the off position. The automatic headlamp system
stays off until you turn and release the headlamp
control at the off position again. SeeHeadlamps
on page 180.
182

Fog Lamps
Your vehicle may have this feature. Use your fog
lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
Your ignition must be in RUN for your fog lamps
to work.
The fog lamp button
is located on the
instrument panel
to the right of the
exterior lamps knob.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on. Press
the button again to turn them off. A light will
glow near the button while the fog lamps are on.
Fog lamps will turn off whenever your high-beam
headlamps are on.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
Press the knob located
next to the exterior
lamps knob to extend it.
Turn the knob to adjust the instrument panel
lights. Turn the knob all the way up to turn on
the interior lamps. Press the knob back into
its stored position when you are not using it.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open a
door unless the dome lamp override is pressed in.
183

Dome Lamp Override
The dome override
button is located
below the exterior
lamps knob.
To turn the dome lamps off, press the button.
The dome lamps will remain off when a door
is open. This will override the illuminated entry
feature unless you use the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter to unlock the vehicle.
To return the lamps to automatic operation,
press the button again. The dome lamps come
on when a door is opened.
Entry Lighting
The vehicle has entry lighting.
When any door is opened, the dome lamps come
on as long as the dome override lamp override
button is not pressed in. When all the doors
are closed, the lamps stay on for a short period
of time and then turn off automatically. If you
use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
to unlock the vehicle, the interior lamps come on
for a short time whether or not the dome lamp
override is on.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps come on
when you remove the key from the ignition.
If the dome override is off, these lamps stay
on for a short period of time and then go out.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located in the front
console.
Press the lens on the lamps to turn the reading
lamps on or off.
