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, just 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.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow
ashes faster than normal, 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
check the fuse. SeeBulb Replacement on
page 455andFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 512.
If you have a trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will
ash at a normal rate even if a turn signal bulb
is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal
lamps regularly to make sure they are working.

Turn Signal On Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver
know to turn it off. If you need to leave the signal
on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the
signal and then turn it back on.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high beam, push the turn signal/multifunction lever
away from you.
When the high beams
are on, this light will
appear on the
instrument panel cluster.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever
toward you.
Flash-to-Pass
When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward
you to momentarily turn on the high beams.
This will signal that you are going to pass. When
you release the lever, they will turn off.
Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle, turn the
band to mist. Hold it there until the wipers start.
Then let go. The wipers will stop after one wipe.
If you want more wipes, hold the band on mist
longer.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band to off.
N(Delay):You can set the wiper speed for a
long or short delay between wipes. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band
to choose the delay time. The closer to the top
of the lever, the shorter the delay.

toggle off all lamps. This is a momentary control
that will spring back to AUTO when released.

Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature, if equipped, will automatically
activate the headlamps and parking lamps after
the windshield wipers have been in use for
about 30 seconds and when all of the following
conditions are met.
The exterior lamp control is in AUTO.
The headlamps have not already been
activated by automatic lighting.
The automatic lighting feature has not been
disabled using the exterior lamp control.
SeeExterior Lamps on page 192for additional
information.
If the wipers are activated for over 30 seconds
and the exterior lamp control is in the parking
lamps position, or the automatic lighting feature
has been disabled using the exterior lamp control,
a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
appear on the Driver Information Center, if
equipped.
Headlamps on Reminder
If you turn the ignition to LOCK while leaving the
lamps on, you will hear a warning chime once
the driver’s door is opened.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)/
Automatic Headlamp System
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 rst sold in Canada.
193
ProCarManuals.com

A light sensor on top of the instrument panel
makes the DRL work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system will make front parking and
turn signal lamps come on in daylight when the
following conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is off.
When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal
lamps will be on. Your instrument panel will
not be lit up.
When it is dark enough outside, the exterior lamps
will come on automatically. When it is bright
enough outside, the exterior lamps will turn off and
the DRL will turn on. Of course, you may still
turn on the headlamps any time you need to.If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take approximately 30 seconds for the automatic
headlamp system to change to DRL if it is
light outside. During that delay, your instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make
sure your instrument panel brightness control is
in the full bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Brightness on page 195.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL and automatic
headlamps off, toggle the exterior lamp control
to off after starting the vehicle.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.

Cargo Lamp
The cargo lamp is located in the rear of your
vehicle, above the liftgate opening, and does not
have a switch. The cargo lamp will come on
each time you open a door, unless you turn on the
interior lamps override. SeeInterior Lamps
Control on page 195.
Electric Power Management
This vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM), an advanced control system. It estimates
the battery’s temperature and state of charge
and then adjusts the voltage for best performance
and extended life of the battery.When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage, you may
see the voltage move up or down. This is normal.
If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.

Cruise Control Light
This light comes on
whenever you set your
cruise control.
The light will go out when the cruise control is
turned off. SeeCruise Control on page 188
for more information.
Highbeam On Light
This light will come on
when the high-beam
headlamps or the
Flash-to-Pass feature is
in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 185.
Fuel Gage
When the indicator nears empty, you still have a
little fuel left, but you should get more soon.
Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you
have left when the ignition is on.
