Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is nished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the direction
of the turn or lane
change.

To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return
by itself when you release it. If you momentarily
press and release the lever, the turn signal
will ash three times.
If the arrow ashes faster than normal as you
signal a turn or a lane change, a signal bulb may
be burned out and other drivers will not see
your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and
then check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 476.
Turn Signal On Chime
If you leave either one of your turn signals on and
drive more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will
sound to alert you.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high beam, push the turn signal/multifunction lever
toward the front of the vehicle.
This light on the
instrument panel cluster
comes on if the high
beam lamps are turned
on while the ignition
is on.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal lever toward the rear
of the vehicle.

Flash-to-Pass
With the turn signal lever in the low-beam position,
pull the lever toward you momentarily to switch
to high-beam (to signal that you are going to pass).
If the headlamps are on, they will return to
low-beam when the lever is released.
This feature operates even when the headlamps
are off.
Windshield Wipers
Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before
using them. If they are frozen to the windshield,
gently loosen or thaw them. Damaged wiper
blades may not clear the windshield well, making
it harder to see and drive safely. If the blades
do become damaged, install new blades or blade
inserts. For more information, seeWindshield
Wiper Blade Replacement on page 424.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.Turn the band with the wiper symbol to control the
windshield wipers.
8(Mist):Turn the band to mist for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers
start. Then let go. The wipers stop after one wipe.
Hold the band on mist longer, for more wipe
cycles.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band
to off.
6(Delay):Turn the band to adjust the delay time.
The delay between wiping cycles becomes
shorter as the band is moved to the top of the
lever. This can be very useful in light rain or snow.
6(Low Speed):Turn the band away from
you to the rst solid band past the delay settings,
for steady wiping at low speed.
?(High Speed):Turn the band further, to the
second solid band past the delay settings, for
high-speed wiping.

headphones that are dedicated to this system.

such as CDs, DVDs, MP3s, DVDAs, radio,

dedicated to the video screen, while Channel 2 is
dedicated to RSA selections.
Infrared transmitters are located at the rear of the
RSE overhead console. The headphones shut
off automatically to save the battery power if the
RSE system and RSA are shut off or if the
headphones are out of range of the transmitters
for more than three minutes. If you move too
far forward or step out of the vehicle, the
headphones lose the audio signal.
The headphones automatically turns off after
four hours of continuous use.
