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.

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 fog lamps
only when your lower beam headlights
are also on, 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.

rurn Signal and Lane Change
’ndicator
The turn signal has two upward (for
light) and
two downward (for Left)
)ositions. These positions allow you to
ignal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the
yay up or down. When the turn is
inished, the lever will return
lutomatically.
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, ij
the arrows don’t flash but just stay on,
signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won’t see your turn signal
If your vehicle has the electronic
instrument cluster, the turn signal
arrows will flash at a faster rate
if a
signal bulb is burned out.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to hell
avoid an accident.
ProCarManuals.com

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.
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. Check the front and
rear turn signal lights regularly to make
sure they are working.
Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by
turning the band marked WIPER.
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 cycle. If you want more cycles,
hold the band on
MIST longer. 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
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the
band away from you
to the LO position.
For high speed wiping, turn the band
further, to
HI. To stop the wipers, move
the band to
OFF.
Remember that damaged wiper blades
may prevent you from seeing well enough
to drive safely.
To avoid damage, be sure
to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them.
If they’re
frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen
or thaw them.
If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Features & Controls
Heavy snow or ice can overload your

until the motor cools. Clear away snow
or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
4t the top of the turn signal/multifunction
ever there’s a paddle with the word
PUSH on it. To spray washer fluid on
:he windshield, push the paddle.
rhe wipers will clear the window and
:hen either stop or return to your preset
;peed.

Index under Windshield
flasher Fluid.
Driving without washer fluid can be
dangerous. A bad mud splash can block
your vision.
You could hit another
vehicle or go off the road. Check your
washer fluid level often.
NOTICE:
When using concentrated washer
fluid, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-
use washer fluid. Water can cause
the solution to freeze and damage
your washer fluid tank and other
parts of the washer system. Also,
water doesn’t clean as well as
washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only
3/4 full when it’s very cold. This
allows for expansion, which could
damage the tank if it is
completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in
your windshield washer. It can
damage your washer system and
paint.
