Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A green arrow on the
instrument panel will
flash in the direction
of the turn
or lane
change.
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 f\
lash 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 “Fuses”
in the Index) and for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lights, a
different turn signal flasher is used. With this flasher installed, the signal
indicator will flash even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Checkthe front
and rear turn signal lights regularly to make sure they
are working.
Operation Of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights, parking \
lights, fog
lamps, side marker lights and taillights) meets all applicable federal ligh\
ting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special attention before you operat\
e these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your f\
og
lamps only when your lower beam headlights
are also on, or that headlights
be turned on whenever you must use your windshield wipers. In add\
ition,
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.

overload, your headlights will flicker
on and off. Have your headlight
wiring checked right away if this happens.
Fog Lamps (Option)
Use your fog lamps
for better vision in
foggy or misty
conditions. Your
parking lights and/or low beam headlights
must be
on or your
fog lamps won't work.
The fog lamp switch
is on the instrument
panel under the
headlight switch.
Press the left side of the switch to turn the fog lamps on, and the right side
of the switch
to turn them off. A light will glow in the right side of the
switch when they are on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as much light as your
headlights.
Never
use your fog lamps in the dark without turning on your headlights.
Fog lamps will go
off whenever your high beam headlights come on. When
the high beams go off, the fog lamps will come
on again.

Your vehicle may have either a 5-wire or 7-wire harness.
The 5-wire harness is stored under your vehicle, along the left rear frame
crossmember. The harness has no connector, and you should have \
a
qualified service person wire your harness for you. Be sure you leave
it
loose enough so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but not so loose that it
drags
on the ground.
Store the harness in its
original place. Wrap
the h>arness together
and tie it neatly so it
wm’t be damaged.
The 7-wire is stored under your vehicle along the rear frame erossmember.
This harness has a
30 Amp. in-line fused battery feed wire and no
connector, and should be wired by
a qualified service person. Attach the
harness to the trailer, then tape or strap it to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be
sure you leave it loose enough
so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but not
so loose that it drags on the ground.
Store the harness in its original place. Wrap the harness together a\
nd tie it
neatly
so it won’t be damaged.
The fuse for trailer wiring is in-line and located in left front side panel
electrical block.

you check your electricql connection at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally to be sure that the load \
is secure, and
that the lights and any trailer brakes
are still working.
Following Distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer. This can help you avoid situations \
that
require heavy braking apd sudden turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance up ahead when you’re to\
wing a trailer.
And, because you’re a good deal longer, you’ll need to g\
o much farther
beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to your lane. \
Backing Up
Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand. Then, to move the
trailer to the left, just move that hand to the left. To move the trailer to the
right, move your hand to the right. Always back up slowly and\
, if possible,
have someone guide you.
Making Turns
When you’re turning with a trailer, make wider turns than n\
ormal. Do this
so your trailer won’t strike soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, \
trees, or other
objects. Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in advance.
Turn Signals When Towing a Trailer
When you tow a trailer, your vehicle has to have a different \
turn signal
flasher and extra wiring. The green arrows on your instrument panel wi\
ll
flash whenever you signal a turn or lane change. Properly hooked up, the
trailer lights will also flash, telling other drivers you’re \
about
to turn,
change lanes or stop.
When towing a trailer, the green arrows on your instrument pan\
el will flash
€or
turns even if the bulbs on the trailer are burned out. Thus, you may think
drivers behind you are seeing your signal when they are not. It’s importan\
t
to check occasionally to be sure the trailer bulbs are still \
working.

When You Are Ready to Leave After Parking on a Hill
1. Apply your regular brakes and hold the pedal down while you:
Start your engine;
Shift into a gear; and
Release the parking brake.
2. Let up on the brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.
Maintenance When Trailer Towing
Your vehicle will need service more often when you’re pulling a trailer. See
the Maintenance Schedule for more on this. Things that are especially
important in trailer operation are automatic transmission fluid (don’t
overfill), engine oil, axle lubricant, belt, cooling system, an\
d brake
adjustment. Each
of these is covered in this manual, and the Index will help
you find them quickly.
If you’re trailering, it’s a good idea to review these
sections before you
start your trip.
Check periodically to see that all hitch nuts and bolts are tight.

It’s very helpful if you ever need to order parts. On this label is:

Be sure that this label is not removed from the vehicle.
Add-on Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your vehicle unless you che\
ck
with your dealer first.
Some electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other
components from working as they should.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short c\
ircuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links in the
wiring itself.
This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. An
electrical overload will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If
the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until .the
motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and not
snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional seven-wire trailer wiring harness is protected by an in-line
fuse in the battery feed wire. This fuse
is near the junction block. See
“Trailer Wiring Harness”
in the Features & Controls section.
