Use your key to start your vehicle. The key lets you turn the ignition switch
to five different positions.
1.
OFF
2. RUN
3. START
4. ACC
5. LOCK 5
ACC (Accessory) - ACC lets you use things like the radio and the
windshield wipers when the engine is off. To get into ACC, push in the key
and turn it toward
you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it
was before you inserted the key.
Don’t operate accessories in the ACC position for long periods
of time. Prolonged operation
of accessories in the ACC position
could drain your battery and prevent you from starting your
vehicle.
LOCK - This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and
transmission. It’s a theft deterrent feature. You will only
be able to remove
your key when
the ignition is turned to LOCK.
OFF - This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. Use
OFF if you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine is
off (for example, if your vehicle
is being pushed).
RUN - This is the position for driving.
START - This starts your engine.

If you have the tilt
steering wheel,
you
should adjust the
steering wheel before
you drive.
You can raise it
to the highest level to give your legs more room when you
enter and exit 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.
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving.
Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column includes your:
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
Headlamp High-Low Beam
0 Windshield Wipers

To change the
headlamps from low
beam to high or high
to low, pull the
multifunction lever all
the way toward you.
Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this blue
Windshield Wipers
indicator light on the
instrument panel also
will be on.
You control the
windshield wipers by
turning the band with
the wiper symbol on
it.
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 wipe. If you want
more wipes, hold the band
on MIST longer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 the
off symbol.
Remember that worn or 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 worn
or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The windshield wiper motor is
protected from overload by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor
overheats due
to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever there’s a paddle marked with the
windshield washer symbol and
PUSH. To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the paddle.
The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return
to your
preset speed.
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.

The headlamp 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 headlamp 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 in the
front, driver’s side fender. See “Trailer Wiring Harness”
in the Features &
Controls section.
Fuse Block
. .. . .,
The fuse block is in
the instrument panel
on the driver’s side.
Remove the cover by
turning the fastener
counterclockwise.
Then you can remove
fuses with a fuse
extractor. Extra fuses
are provided in the
cover.
