Rear Fog LightsThe rear fog lights may be
operated as desired when vis-
ibility is poor due to fog. To
activate the rear fog lights,
turn on the parking lights, headlights
or automatic lights pull out the end of
the multifunction lever and rotate the
lever to the last detent.
NOTE:
The headlights will always be on
when the rear fog lamps are acti-
vated.
TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or
down and the arrows on each side of
the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear
turn signal lights. LANE CHANGE ASSIST
Tap the lever up or down once, with-
out moving beyond the detent, and
the turn signal (right or left) will flash
three times then automatically turn
off.
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
Push the multifunction lever away
from you to switch the headlights to
high beam. Pull the multifunction le-
ver toward you, to switch the head-
lights back to low beam.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will cause the headlights to turn on at
high beam and remain on until the
lever is released.NOTE:
If the multifunction lever is held in
the Flash-To-Pass position for
more than 15 seconds, the high
beams will shut off. If this occurs,
wait 30 seconds before activating
the Flash-To-Pass function again.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Two courtesy/reading lights are lo-
cated in the bottom of the rearview
mirror. You can turn these lights on
and off from the switches in the mir-
ror or from the dimmer control in the
multifunction lever. These lights are
also controlled automatically by the
Illuminated Entry System.

POWER STEERING
The standard power steering system
will give you good vehicle response
and increased ease of maneuverability
in tight spaces. The system will pro-
vide mechanical steering capability if
power assist is lost.
If for some reason the power assist is
interrupted, it will still be possible to
steer your vehicle. Under these condi-
tions, you will observe a substantial
increase in steering effort, especially
at very low vehicle speeds and during
parking maneuvers.
NOTE:
 Increased noise levels at the endof the steering wheel travel are
considered normal and do not
indicate that there is a problem
with the power steering system.
 Upon initial start-up in cold weather, the power steering
pump may make noise for a
short amount of time. This is due
to the cold, thick fluid in the
steering system. This noise
should be considered normal,
and it does not in any way dam-
age the steering system.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced
power steering assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others.
Service should be obtained as soon
as possible.CAUTION!
Prolonged operation of the steering
system at the end of the steering
wheel travel will increase the steer-
ing fluid temperature and it should
be avoided when possible. Damage
to the power steering pump may oc-
cur.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
Checking the power steering fluid
level at a defined service interval is
not required. The fluid should only be
checked if a leak is suspected, abnor-
mal noises are apparent, and/or the
system is not functioning as antici-
pated. Coordinate inspection efforts
through an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
power steering system as the chemi-
cals can damage your power steering
components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.WARNING!
Fluid level should be checked on a
level surface and with the engine off
to prevent injury from moving parts
and to ensure accurate fluid level
reading. Do not overfill. Use only
manufactur er's recommended
power steering fluid.
If necessary, add fluid to restore to the
proper indicated level. With a clean
cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all
surfaces. Refer to “Fluids, Lubri-
cants, and Genuine Parts” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for further in-
formation.

(C) Injecting TIREFIT Sealant
Into The Deflated Tire:
 Always start the engine beforeturning ON the TIREFIT kit.
NOTE:
Manual transmission vehicles
must have the parking brake en-
gaged and the shift lever in NEU-
TRAL.
 After pressing the Power Button (4), the sealant (white fluid) will
flow from the Sealant Bottle (1)
through the Sealant Hose (6) and
into the tire.
NOTE:
Sealant may leak out through the
puncture in the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not
flow within 0 – 10 seconds through
the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn
Off the TIREFIT kit. Disconnect the
Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem.
Make sure the valve stem is free of
debris. Reconnect the Sealant Hose
(6) to the valve stem. Check that the
Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Sealant Mode position and not Air Mode.
Press the Power Button (4) to turn On
the TIREFIT kit.
2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a
different 12 Volt power outlet in your
vehicle or another vehicle, if avail-
able. Make sure the engine is running
before turning ON the TIREFIT kit.
3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be
empty due to previous use. Call for
assistance.
NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on
Air Mode and the pump is operat-
ing, air will dispense from the Air
Pump Hose (7) only, not the Seal-
ant Hose (6).
If the sealant (white fluid) does
flow
through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Continue to operate the pump un-
til sealant is no longer flowing
through hose (typically takes 30 -
70 seconds). As the sealant flows
through the Sealant Hose (6), the
Pressure Gauge (3) can read as high
as 5 Bar. The Pressure Gauge (3) will
decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi (5 Bar) to the actual tire pres-
sure when the Sealant Bottle (1) is
empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air
into the tire immediately after the
Sealant Bottle (1) is empty. Continue
to operate the pump and inflate the
tire to the pressure indicated on the
tire pressure label on the driver-side
latch pillar (recommended pressure).
Check the tire pressure by looking at
the Pressure Gauge (3).
If the tire does not inflate to at least
1.8 Bar pressure within 15 min-
utes:
 The tire is too badly damaged. Do
not attempt to drive the vehicle fur-
ther. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
If the tire becomes over-inflated,
press the Deflation Button to re-
duce the tire pressure to the rec-
ommended inflation pressure be-
fore continuing.
If the tire inflates to the recom-
mended pressure or is at least 1.8
Bar pressure within 15 minutes:
