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

Windshield Washers
Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the steering
wheel to activate the washers. The wipers will activate auto-
matically for three cycles after the lever is released. Manual High Speed/Mist
Push the lever upward from the off position. The wipers will
operate at high speed to clear off road mist or spray from a
passing vehicle. This operation will continue until the lever
is released. When the lever is released, the wipers will return
to the off position and automatically shut off.
Rear Wiper Operation — If Equipped
Rear Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the windshield wiper lever center ring upwards to
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
• In intermittent mode when the front window wiper is not
operating
• In synchronous mode (at half the speed of the front window wiper) when the front window wiper is operating
• In continuous mode while vehicle is in REVERSE
With the windshield wipers on, and REVERSE gear engaged,
rear window wiping will be continuous in the same way.
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash. Damage to the windshield
wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and
the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the off posi -
tion. If the windshield wiper control is turned off and
the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to
the wiper motor may occur.

SAFETY
SAFETY FEATURES
Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
The Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to aid the driver in maintaining vehicle control under
adverse braking conditions. The system operates with a
separate computer to modulate hydraulic pressure, to
prevent wheel lock-up and to help avoid skidding on
slippery surfaces.
The system's pump motor runs during an ABS stop to
provide regulated hydraulic pressure. The pump motor
makes a low humming noise during operation, which is
normal.
The ABS includes an amber ABS Warning Light. When the
light is illuminated, the ABS is not functioning. The system
reverts to standard non-anti-lock brakes. Turning the igni-
tion OFF and ON again may reset the ABS if the fault
detected was only momentary.
WARNING!
• The ABS contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by
improperly installed or high output radio transmitting
equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of
anti-lock braking capability. Installation of such equip -
ment should be performed by qualified professionals.
• Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to a collision. Pumping
makes the stopping distance longer. Just press firmly
on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or
stop.
• The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking
or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the
condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction
afforded.

SAFETY 99
(Continued)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) enhances directional
control and stability of the vehicle under various driving
conditions. ESC corrects for over/under steering of the
vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to
assist in counteracting the over/under steer condition.
Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle main-
tain the desired path.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path
intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of
the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, ESC applies the brake of the appropriate
wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer
condition.
• Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than appro
-
priate for the steering wheel position.
• Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than appro -
priate for the steering wheel position.
WARNING!
The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. BAS cannot prevent collisions, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on
very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. The capabilities
of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner, which could jeopardize
the user's safety or the safety of others.
WARNING!
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. ESC cannot prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving
on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also
cannot prevent accidents resulting from loss of vehicle
control due to inappropriate driver input for the condi -
tions. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can
prevent accidents. The capabilities of an ESC equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s
safety or the safety of others.4
