Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place
the blower control on high speed. You should be able to
feel the air directed against the windshield. See your
authorized dealer for service if your defroster is inoper-
able.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make Outside
The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven wear
patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread. Inspect the tread and sidewall for
cuts and cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for proper pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of exterior lights
while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high
beam indicator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel,
engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline
fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid, or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be
located and corrected immediately.

interval begins when you turn off the headlights. Only
the headlights will illuminate during this time.
If you turn the headlights, or parking lights, or ignition
switch on again, the system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal manner.
The Headlight delay time is programmable on vehicles
equipped with the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC). For details, refer to ªDelay Turning Headlights
Off,º under ªPersonal Settings (Customer Programmable
Features),º under ªElectronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)º in Section 4 of this manual.Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Ð If Equipped
The high beam headlights will turn on as Daytime
Running Lights (DRL) and operate at DRL (lower) inten-
sity, whenever the ignition is on, the engine is running,
the headlight switch is off, the parking brake is off, the
turn signal is off, and the selector lever is in any position
except ªPº (Park).
NOTE:The Daytime Running Lights will turn off
automatically when the turn signal is in operation and
turn on again when the turn signal is not operating.
Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is turned to the LOCK position, a chime will sound to
alert the driver when the driver's door is opened.

Fog Lights Ð If Equipped
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking
lights or the low beam headlights and pull out on
the end of the Multi-Function Control Lever.
NOTE:The front fog lights will only operate with the
headlights on low beam. Selecting high beam headlights
will turn off the front fog lights.
Turn Signals
Move the Multi-Function Lever upward or downward
and the corresponding turn signal indicator on the in-
strument panel will flash to show proper operation of the
front and rear turn signal lights.
Front Fog Light Control
Turn Signal Control
136 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

You can signal a lane change by moving the lever upward
or downward partially without moving beyond the de-
tent.
If either turn signal indicator has a very fast flash rate,
check for a defective outside light bulb. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, see your autho-
rized dealer for service.
Highbeam/Lowbeam Select Switch
Push the Multi-Function Control Lever away from you to
switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the Lever
toward you, to switch the headlights back to LOW beam.
Flash to Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the Multi-Function Control Lever toward
you. This will cause the headlights to turn on at high
beam and remain on until the lever is released.

6. Malfunction Indicator Light
This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system
called OBD that monitors emissions, engine, and
automatic transmission control systems. The light
will turn on when the key is in the ON position before
engine start. If the light does not turn on when turning
the key from LOCK or ACC to ON, have the condition
checked promptly.
Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap,
poor fuel quality, etc. may turn on the light after engine
start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several of your typical driving cycles. In most
situations, the vehicle will drive normally and it will not
require towing.
If the Malfunction Indicator Light flashes when the
engine is running, serious conditions may exist that
could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalyticconverter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as
soon as possible if this occurs. (See page 399 for more
information.)
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause
damage to the engine control system. It also could
affect fuel economy and driveability.
If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter
damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
7. High Beam Indicator Light
This light shows that the headlights are on high
beam. Pull the Multi-Function Control Lever on
the left side of the steering column toward you to switch
to Low beam. (See page 133 for more information.)
