A tilt steering wheel allows you to
adjust the steering wheel before you
drive. You can also raise it to the highest
level to give your legs more room when
you exit and enter the vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering
wheel and pull the lever. Move the steering wheel to a comfortable level,
then release the lever
to lock the wheel
in place.

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
finished, the lever will return
automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel
will flash in the direction
of the turn or
lane change.

Turn Signal and Lane Change
Indicator
(CONI)
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever
until the green 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 a lane change, if
the arrows don’t flash but just stay on, 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 green arrows
don’t go
on at all when you signal a
turn, check the fuse (see
the Index under
Fuses & Circuit Breakers) and for
burned-out bulbs.

rn Cruise Control (OPTION)
With cruise control, you can maintain a
speed of about
25 mph (40 h/h) or
more without keeping your foot on the
accelerator. This can really help on long
trips. Cruise control does not work at
speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, or the
clutch pedal, the cruise control shuts
off.
Cruise control can be
l dangerous where you can’t
drive safely at a steady speed.
So, don’t use your cruise control
on winding roads or-in heavy
traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such
roads, hst changes in
tire
traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could
lose
control. Don’t use cruise control
on slippery roads.

pedal.
To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a
desired speed and then you apply the
brake or clutch pedal. This, of course,
shuts off the cruise control. But you
don't need to reset it. Once you're going
about
25 mph (40 h/h) or more, you
can move the cruise control switch from
ON to R/A (which stands for Resume/
Accelerate) for about half a second.
You'll
go right back up to your chosen
speed and stay there.

If you hold the switch at RIA
longer than half a second, the
vehicle will keep going faster until
you release the switch or apply the
brake or clutch pedal. You could
be startled and even lose control.
So unless you want to go faster,
don’t hold the switch at
RIA.
To Increase Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher
speed. Here’s
the first:

lever, then release
the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise
at the higher speed. Here’s
the second way to go to a higher
speed:
Move the cruise switch from ON to
R/A. Hold it there until you get up to
the speed
you want, and then release
the switch.
To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move
the switch to RIA for
less than half a second and then release
it. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about
1 mph
(1.6 km/h) faster.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Reduce Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your
speed while using cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the
lever until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts,
push the button for less than half a
second. Each time
you do this, you’ll
go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase
your speed. When
you take your foot off
the pedal, your vehicle will slow down
to the cruise control speed you set
earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work
on hills depends upon your speed, load,
and the steepness of the hills. When
going
up steep hills, you may have to
step on
the accelerator pedal to maintain
your speed. When going downhill, you
may have to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep your speed down. Of
course, applying the brake
or clutch
pedal takes you out
of cruise control.
Many drivers find this to be too much
trouble and don’t use cruise control on
steep hills.

When you turn off the cruise control or
the ignition, your cruise control set
