Features & Controls
NOTICE:
Don’t drive in 2 (Second Gear) for
more than
5 miles (8 km) , or at
speeds over
55 mph (88 kwh), or
you can damage your transaxle.
Use
D or 3 as much as possible.
Don’t
shift into 2 unless you are
going slower than
65 mph (105
krn/h), or you can damage your
engine.
1 (First Gear): This position gives you
even more power (but lower fuel
economy) than
2. You can use it on
very steep hills, or in deep snow
or
mud. If the shift lever is put in 1, the
transaxle won’t shift into first gear until
the vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
If your front wheels can’t rotate,
don’t
try to drive. This might
happen if you were stuck in very
deep sand or mud or were up
against a solid object. You could
damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill,
don’t hold your vehicle there with
only the accelerator pedal. This
could overheat and damage the
transaxle. Use your brakes or shift
into
P (Park) to hold. your vehicle.
in position on a hill.
Parking Brake

.the rear wheels.

your right .foot. Push down the parking
brake pedal with your left foot. If the
ignition is

down. Of course, applying the brake
takes you .out of cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble
and don’t use cruise control on steep
hills
*
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the
cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal; OR
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
To Erase Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or
the ignition, or shift into
P (Park), your
cruise control set speed memory is
erased.
Pulse 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.
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.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your
wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop them
until the motor cools. Clear away snow
or ice to prevent an overload.
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.

9perafion.of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system-
(headlights, parlung lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meets
311 applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and
provinces may apply thek own lighting
:egulations that may require special attention
before
you op~erate 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‘ headlightsbe turned
on whenever you must .use your
windshield wipers. In addition, mo.st
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.
Ligk On Reminder
If you open the door while leaving the
lights on, you will hear a warning tone.
Daytinre. Rurmjng DgMs
(CANADA ONLY)
.The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that “Daytime Running Lights”
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours.
DRL are required on
.new vehicles sold in Canada. Your
DIU work
with a light sensor on
top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low :beam headlights will come on
at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is on
*‘ The head,light switch is off, and
‘The parking brake is released.
At dusk, the exteriorlights will come on
automatically and the low beams will
change
to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change
to the reduced
brightness of
DRL (if the headlight
switch is
off).
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL,
off,
set the parling brake while the ignition
is in the
Off or Loch position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off
until
you: release the parking brake.

all, have it fixed right away. If it stays
on, or it comes on while you are driving,
