Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
G:Turn and Lane-Change Signals
53: Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
N:Windshield Wipers
L:Windshield Washer
Z:Rear Window Wiper
=:Rear Window Washer
Flash-to-Pass Feature.
Information for these features is on the pages following.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
An arrowGon the instrument panel cluster will ash
in the direction of the turn or lane change.
Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ash
to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane
change is completed.
The lever returns to its starting position whenever it is
released.
If after signaling a turn or a lane change the arrow
ashes rapidly or does not come on, a signal bulb may
be burned out.
Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out,
check the fuse. SeeBulb Replacement on page 5-41
andFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-98.
For vehicles with the trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator ashes at
a normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned out.
Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly
to make sure they are working.

Turn Signal On Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile
(1.2 km), a chime sounds to let the driver know to turn it
off. If the signal needs to be left on for more than 3/4 mile
(1.2 km), turn the signal off and then turn it back on.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
The headlamps must be on for this feature to work.
Push the turn signal lever away from you to turn the high
beams on.
This instrument panel cluster light
3comes on while
the high beam headlamps are on.
Pull the lever towards you to return to low beams.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature is used to signal the vehicle ahead that you
want to pass. When the headlamps are off, pull the
lever toward you to momentarily turn on the high beams.
Release the lever, to turn the high beams off.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper/washer switch is on the
multifunction lever located on the left side of the
steering column.
Turn the band with
Non it to control the wipers.
8(Mist):Turn to mist, for a single wiping cycle and
then release. The wipers stop after one wipe. Hold
longer for additional wipes.
9(Off):Move the band to this position to turn the
wipers off.
N(Delay):Turn the band to choose the delay time
between wipes. Turn towards the top or bottom of
the lever, for a shorter or longer delay.
6(Low Speed):Use for steady wiping at low
speed.
1(High Speed):Use for steady wiping at high
speed.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM)
that estimates the battery’s temperature and state
of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best
performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage is
raised slightly to quickly put the charge back in. When the
state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to
prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage
or a voltage display on the Driver Information Center
(DIC), you may see the voltage move up or down. This is
normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical
loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is
because the generator (alternator) may not be
spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the power
that is needed for very high electrical loads.A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams, fog
lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at
high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer
loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the
battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s output
and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase engine
idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed.
It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some
accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without
being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of
corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message
might be displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or
Service Battery Charging System. If this message is
displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the
electrical loads as much as possible. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-51.

Cruise Control Light
This light comes on
whenever the cruise
control is set.
The light goes out when the cruise control is turned off.
SeeCruise Control on page 3-10for more information.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on when
the high-beam headlamps
are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8
for more information.
Fuel Gage
When the indicator nears
empty, you still have a little
fuel left, but you should get
more soon.
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left when the ignition is on.
Here are four things some owners ask about. All these
things are normal and do not indicate that anything is
wrong with the fuel gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
It takes a little more (or less) fuel to ll up than the
gage reads. For example, the gage read half full, but
it took more (or less) than half of the tank’s capacity
to ll it.
The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.
The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition is
turned off.
3-42

To disconnect the jumper cables from both vehicles, do
the following:
1. Disconnect the black negative (−) cable from the
vehicle that had the dead battery.
2. Disconnect the black negative (−) cable from the
vehicle with the good battery.
3. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the
vehicle with the good battery.
4. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable from the other
vehicle.
5. Return the remote positive (+) terminal cover or
underhood fuse block cover to its original position.
Headlamp Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset at the factory and
should need no further adjustment.
However, if your vehicle is damaged in a crash, the
headlamp aim may be affected. Aim adjustment to the
low-beam headlamps may be necessary if oncoming
drivers ash their high-beam headlamps at you
(for vertical aim).
If the headlamps need to be re-aimed, it is
recommended that you take the vehicle to your
dealer/retailer for service.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of replacement bulbs, see
Replacement Bulbs on page 5-45.
For any bulb changing procedure not listed in this
section, contact your dealer/retailer.
Halogen Bulbs
{CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You or
others could be injured. Be sure to read and follow
the instructions on the bulb package.
