attract attention if needed. The alarm will continue until
one of the following occurs:

The driver presses the panic button with the horn
symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter
a second time,

the ignition is turned to ON or

110 seconds has elapsed.Remote Activation Verification (RAV)
This feature helps provide audible and/or visible

You may select one of four operating modes for
lock and unlock commands. The selection and
programming of the lock and unlock modes are
independent of each other.

2-24 To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
The cord is located behind the driver's side
headlamp assembly.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110
-volt AC outlet.
CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind of extension cord could overheat and cause
a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the
cord into a properly grounded three
-prong
11 0
-volt AC outlet. If the cord won't reach, use a
heavy
-duty three-prong extension cord rated for
at least 15 amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug
and store the cord as it was before to keep it away
from moving engine parts. If you don't, it could
be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged
in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of
trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact
your dealer in the area where you'll be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.
Automatic Transaxle Operation
Your automatic transaxle
has a shift lever located
on the console between
the seats.

Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. You can raise it to the highest level
to give your legs more room when you exit and enter
the vehicle.
The lever that enables you to tilt the steering wheel is
located on the left side of the steering column.
To tilt the wheel, hold the wheel and pull the lever.
Move the wheel to a comfortable level, then release the
lever to lock the wheel in place.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:

Turn and Lane
-Change Signals

Headlamp High/Low
-Beam Changer

Flash
-to-Pass Feature

Windshield Wipers

Windshield Washer
For information on the exterior lamps, see ªExterior
Lampsº later in this section.

2-36 Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal lever has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash in
the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or lane change, if the arrow flashes
faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won't see your turn signal.If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned
-out bulbs and then check
the fuse. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
A chime will sound if you leave your turn signal on for
more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km).
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
When the high beams are
on, this light will appear on
the instrument panel.
To change your headlamps from low beam to high
beam, push the lever away from you. To change back to
low beam, pull the lever toward you.
To flash your high beams, pull the lever toward you and
release. The lever will return to the low
-beam position.
Fog lamps, (if equipped), will not be illuminated while
the headlamps are in the high
-beam mode.

2-37 Flash-to-Pass Feature
With the lever in the low-beam position, pull the
lever toward you momentarily to switch to high beams
(to signal you are going to pass). If you have the
headlamps on, they will return to low beams when
you release the lever.
Windshield Wipers
Use this lever located on the right side of the steering
wheel to operate the windshield wipers.
OFF: Move the lever to OFF to turn off the
windshield wipers.INT (Intermittent): Move the lever to INT to choose a
delayed wiping cycle. Turn the INT ADJ band down for
a longer delay or up for a shorter delay. The further the
INT ADJ band is turned upward, the shorter the delay
will be and the further the INT ADJ band is turned
downward, the longer the delay will be. The wiper speed
can only be adjusted when the lever is in the INT
position. Use this position for light rain or snow.
LO (Low Speed): Move the lever up to the first setting
past INT, for steady wiping at low speed.
HI (High Speed): Move the lever up to the second
setting past INT, for steady wiping at high speed.
MIST: Move the lever all the way down to MIST for a
single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield
wipers start; then let go. The windshield wipers will stop
after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the band
on MIST longer.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. If this
occurs, a circuit breaker will stop the wipers until the
motor cools. So, be sure to clear any ice and snow from
the windshield wiper blades before using them. If the
wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen them, or warm the windshield before turning the
wipers on. If your blades do become worn or damaged,
get new blades or blade inserts.

in the OFF or ACCESSORY position.
Daytime Running Lamps / Automatic
Headlamp Control
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 daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn't covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when the following conditions are met:

The ignition is on,

the exterior lamp control is not in the headlamp
position position and

the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker and
other lamps won't be on. The instrument panel won't be
lit up either.

When it's dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will turn off and your headlamps and parking
lamps will turn on.
When it's bright enough outside, your headlamps will go
off and your front turn signal lamps will come on.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL or automatic
headlamps off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
in OFF. Then start your vehicle. The DRL, headlamps
and parking lamps will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
To turn off the automatic headlamp feature when it's
dark outside, move the exterior lamp control to the
parking lamp position. Your parking lamps will remain
illuminated and your headlamps will turn off. The fog
lamps (if equipped) will also be lit if they were on when
you changed to the parking lamp position.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.Fog Lamps (If Equipped)
The fog lamps are located
on the left side of the
instrument panel.
The parking lamps must be on or your fog lamps will
not illuminate.
To turn the fog lamps on, press the top of the fog lamp
switch. Press the bottom of the switch to turn the fog
lamps off. A light will glow in the switch to let you
know that they are on.
The fog lamps will go off whenever you change to
high
-beam headlamps. When you return to low beams,
the fog lamps will come on again.

of the instrument panel lights or downward to decrease
the brightness.Parade Mode
The instrument panel brightness control has an added
feature called parade mode to assist you in seeing
certain instrument panel controls if your headlamps
are on in the daylight.
Without turning the courtesy lamps on, turn the
instrument panel brightness thumbwheel all the way to
the top. The radio, season/trip odometer, gearshift
selection indicator on the instrument panel cluster and
the heating and air conditioning controls will come on at

draining the battery in case you accidentally leave an
interior or trunk lamp on. If you leave any of these
lamps on while the ignition is in ACCESSORY or
OFF, they will automatically turn off after 20 minutes.
The lamps won't come back on until you do one of
the following:

Turn the ignition to ON,

turn the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel all
the way up or

open or close and reopen a door that is closed.
If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the
