High Beams
With the low beams activated, pull the multifunction lever
towards the steering wheel to turn on the high beams. A high
beam symbol will illuminate in the cluster to indicate the
high beams are on. Pull the multifunction lever a second time
to switch the headlights back to low beam.
NOTE:
If the vehicle’s ignition is turned off, both high and low beam
headlights will also turn off.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
partially pulling the multifunction lever toward the steering
wheel. This will cause the high beam headlights to turn on
until the lever is released.
Parking Lights
These lights can only be turned on with ignition key in the
STOP (OFF/LOCK) position or removed, by moving the end
of the multifunction lever to O (Off) position and then to the
headlight position.
The warning light telltale in the instrument panel comes on.
The lights stay on until the next ignition cycle is performed.
Follow Me Home/Headlight Delay
When this feature is selected, the driver can choose to have
the headlights remain on for a preset period of time after the
engine is turned off.
Activation
Remove the key or turn the ignition to the STOP (OFF/
LOCK) position, and pull the multifunction lever toward the
steering wheel within two minutes. Each time the lever is
pulled, the activation of the lights will be extended by 30
seconds. The activation of the lights can be extended to a
maximum of 210 seconds.

If the vehicle’s ignition is turned off, the fog lights will also
turn off.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on
each side of the instrument cluster flash to show proper oper -
ation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a very
fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light bulb. If an
indicator fails to light when the lever is moved, it would
suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the
detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash five times
then automatically turn off.

Instrument Cluster Descriptions
1. Speedometer• Indicates vehicle speed.
2. Fuel Gauge
• The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tankwhen the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
• The fuel pump arrow symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel door is located.
3. Temperature Gauge

• The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera-ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that
the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.

• The pointer will likely indicate a higher temperature when driving in hot weather or up mountain grades. It
should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the
normal operating range.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others
could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You
may want to call an authorized dealer for service if your
vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the hood
yourself, refer to “Cooling System Pressure Cap” in
“Servicing And Maintenance” and follow the warnings
under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage
your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H,” pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into
the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H,” turn
the engine off immediately and call an authorized dealer
for service.

display is designed to display important information about
your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver interac -
tive display located on the instrument panel, your instru-
ment cluster display can show you how systems are working and give you warnings when they are not. The instrument
cluster display controls allow you to scroll through the main
menus and submenus. You can access the specific informa
-
tion you want and make selections and adjustments.

display that is located in the instrument cluster.
