Turn and Lane-Change Signals
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 nished, the lever will
return automatically.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
for less than one second until the arrow starts
to ash. This will cause the turn signals to
automatically ash three times. It will ash
six times if tow-haul mode is active. Holding the
turn signal lever for more than one second
will cause the turn signals to ash until you release
the lever. The lever will return by itself when it is
released.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb may be burned out and other drivers will not
see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and a
blown fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 540.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than
3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at
each ash of the turn signal and the message
TURN SIGNAL ON will also appear in the DIC.
To turn the chime and message off, move the turn
signal lever to the off position.

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

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 your headlamps are in the automatic position or
on low beam, your high-beam headlamps will turn

instrument panel cluster will come on. Release the
lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. Damaged
wiper blades may not clear the windshield well,
making it harder to see and drive safely. If the
blades do become damaged, install new blades or
blade inserts. For more information, seeWindshield
Wiper Blade Replacement on page 481
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it
cools down. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an
overload.
You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(Mist):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 wipe cycles, hold the band
on mist longer.

following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to
the instrument panel outlets and to the oor outlets.
The ow can be divided between vent and oor
outlets depending upon where the knob is placed
between the settings. A little air is directed towards
the windshield and side window outlets. Cooler air
is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to
the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
will automatically select outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected when in Floor Mode.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
By positioning the right knob between two modes,

a chime will sound when the vehicle speed is
greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided
into two parts. If one part is not working, the other
part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though, you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on and a chime sounds
there could be a brake problem. Have your brake
system inspected right away.
This light may also come on due to low brake uid.
SeeBrakes on page 463for more information.This light should come on briey when you turn
the ignition key to RUN. If it does not come
on then, have it xed so it will be ready to warn
you if there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off
the road and stop carefully. You may notice
that the pedal is harder to push or may go closer
to the oor. It may take longer to stop. If the
light is still on, have the vehicle towed for service.
SeeTowing Your Vehicle on page 400.
{CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working
properly if the brake system warning light
is on. Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to an accident.
If the light is still on after you have pulled
off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
