Tilt Steering Wheel (OPTION) 
A tilt steering  wheel  allows  you  to 
adjust  the  steering wheel  before

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

Operation of Lights 
Although your  vehicle’s  lighting  system 
(headlights,  parking  lights,  fog  lamps, 
side  marker  lights  and taillights)  meets 
all  applicable  federal  lighting 
requirements, certain  states and 
provinces  may  apply  their own  lighting 
regulations  that may  require  special 
attention  before  you  operate these  lights, 
For  example,  some jurisdictions  may 
require  that you operate  your  lower 
beam  lights  with fog lamps  at all  times, 
or that  headlights  be  turned on 
whenever you must use your  windshield 
wipers.  In addition, most jurisdictions 
prohibit  driving  solely  with parking 
lights,  especially  at dawn or dusk. 
It is 
recommended  that you  check  with your 
own state  or  provincial  highway 
authority  for  applicable  lighting 
regulations.

Turn  Signal  and  Lane  Change 
Indicator 
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. 
I) 
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, have  your  dealer 
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 G Circuit 
Breakers) and for burned-out  bulbs.

The  high  beam  headlights  will  come on 
at  reduced brightness in  daylight  when: 
The ignition  is  on 
The headlight  switch  is off, and 
The  parking brake is released. 
When  you  turn on your  headlights,  the 
DRL will switch off and the exterior 
lights  will  come  on. When  you  turn off 
the  headlights,  the exterior  lights will  go 
out  and  the high  beams  will change  to 
the  reduced  brightness 
of DRL again. 
The  DRL  indicator  light on the 
instrument  panel  will  go  on whenever 
the  DRL  are on.  This  light  means  that 
only  the DRL  are on.  When  you  turn on 
your  exterior lights, this  light will  go 
out.  Of course,  you  may  still turn  on  the 
headlights  any  time 
you need to. 
To idle  your  vehicle  with the DRL  off, 
set  the  parking  brake.  The 
DRL will 
stay 
off until  you  release  the parking 
brake.

turn  signal  lever  all  the way  toward  you. 
Then  release  it. When  the high  beams 
are  on,  a  blue  light  on the  instrument 
panel  also  will  be on. 
Flash-to-Pass (EXCEPT  CANADA) 
Flash-to-Pass lets  you use your  high 
beam  headlights  to signal  a  driver  in 
front 
of you  that  you want  to pass. 
To  use  it, pull  the  turn  signal  lever 
toward  you, then  release.

Your  high  beam  headlights  will  turn on. 
They’ll  stay on 
as long as you  hold  the 
lever  there.  Release  the lever  to turn 
them  off.

Warning Lights, Gages and 
Indicators 
This section  describes  the warning 
lights  and gages  that may  be  on your 
vehicle.  The  pictures will help  you 
locate them. 
Warning  lights  and gages  can signal  that 
something is wrong  before it becomes 
serious enough  to cause  an expensive 
repair 
or replacement.  Paying attention 
to  your  warning lights and  gages  could 
also  save  you or others  from  injury. 
Warning  lights  go  on when  there may 
be  or is  a  problem  with one of your 
vehicle’s  functions. 
As you  will  see  in 
the  details 
on the next  few  pages,  some 
warning  lights  come  on briefly  when 
you  turn  the  ignition key just  to let  you 
lmow  they’re  working. 
If you  are  familiar 
with this section,  you should 
not  be  alarmed  when  this happens. 
Gages  can indicate when  there may be 
or  is  a  problem  with one of your 
vehicle’s  functions. Often  gages and 
warning  lights  work  together to let 
you 
know  when there’s  a  problem with your 
vehicle. 
When  one of the warning  lights  comes 
on and  stays on when  you are driving, 
or when one of the  gages  shows  there 
may  be  a  problem,  check  the section 
that  tells  you  what to  do  about it.  Please 
follow  the manual’s  advice.  Waiting  to 
do  repairs can  be  costly 
- and even 
dangerous. 
So please  get  to know  your 
warning  lights and gages.  They’re  a  big 
help.

FUEL ONLY 
Fuel Gage 
When  the ignition  is on,  your  fuel  gage 
tells  you  about how  much  fuel  you  have 
left.  When  the indicator  nears 
E (Empty), 
you still  have  a  little  fuel  left,  but you 
should  get  more  soon. 
Here  are four things  that some  owners 
ask  about.  None of these show  a 
problem  with your  fuel  gage: 
At the  gas  station,  the gas  pump  shuts 
off before the gage  reads I: (Full).

Understanding  Radio  Reception 
FM Stereo 
FM Stereo  will  give you the best  sound, 
but  FM  signals 
will reach only about 10 
to 40 miles (16 to 65 la). Tall  buildings 
or  hills  can  interfere  with  FM signals, 
causing  the sound  to come  and  go. 
AM 
The  range  for  most AM stations  is 
greater  than for 
FM, especially  at night. 
The  longer  range,  however, 
can cause 
stations  to interfere  with each other, 
AM can  also  pick up noise  from  things 
like  storms and  power  lines.  To lower 
this  noise, 
try reducing  the treble  level. 
Care of Your  Cassette  Tape 
Player 
A tape  player  that is not  cleaned 
regularly 
is subject  to reduced  sound 
quality,  ruining  the cassette,  or 
damaging  the mechanism.  Tape 
cassettes  that  are not properly  stored  in 
their  plastic  cases  away  from 
contaminants,  direct  sunlight,  and 
extreme  heat may not operate  properly 
and could  cause  premature  failure  of I' 
the tape  player. 
Your tape player  should  be cleaned 
monthly  or  with  every 
15 hours  of use, 
as regular  maintenance.  If you  notice  a ll 
reduction  in sound  quality, try a good 
cassette  to see 
if the  tape  or the tape 
player  is  at fault.  If the  second  cassette 
results  in no  improvement  in sound
