Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The multifunction lever on the left-hand side of the
steering column includes your:

Turn Signal and Lane Change Control

Headlamp High/Low
-Beam Changer

Cruise Control

Headlamps Switch

Flash
-to-Pass
Turn and Lane Change Signals
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 multifunction lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is finished, the lever
will return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
cluster will flash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the 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 flash
faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don't go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuses and check for burned
-out
bulbs. (See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.)

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps
from low beam to high or
high to low, push the turn
signal lever all the way
forward.
When the high beams are on, this light on the instrument
panel also will be on. To change the headlamps from
high to low, pull the lever rearward.
Lamps on Reminder
If you turn the ignition off and leave the headlamps or
parking lamps on and open the door, you will hear a
chime reminding you to turn off all lamps.
Flash-to-Pass
Momentarily pull the turn signal lever toward you. The
high
-beam indicator will flash to indicate to the other
driver that you intend to pass. If the low
-beam
headlamps are off and you have the optional fog lamps
on, the fog lamps will flash.
Windshield Wipers
You can control the windshield wipers by moving the
lever with the wiper symbol on it. This lever is located
on the right side of the steering column.
For a single wiping cycle, push the lever down 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 lever on MIST longer.

Fog Lamps (Option)
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. Your parking lamps or low
-beam headlamps
must be on or the fog lamps won't work.
To turn the fog lamps on, push the button located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering column. A
light on the button will come on when the fog lamps are
on. Push the button again to turn the fog lamps off.
Twilight Sentinel (Option)
Twilight Sentinel provides a period of exterior
illumination as you leave the vicinity of the vehicle. The
feature is activated when the headlamps are on due to
the optional Automatic Headlamp Control feature
described previously in this section, and when the
ignition is turned off. Your headlamps will then remain
on until the headlamp switch is moved from OFF to the
parking lamp position or until an illumination period has
elapsed. See ªDriver Information Center (DIC)º in the
Index to select the desired illumination period.
If you turn off the ignition with the headlamp switch in
the parking lamp or headlamp position, the Twilight
Sentinel cycle will not occur.
You can customize the vehicle to activate the Twilight
Sentinel when the ignition is turned off under the
conditions listed previously, or you may choose not to
activate this feature under any conditions. See ªDriver
Information Center (DIC)º in the Index to customize
this feature.

The information may be displayed in English or metric
units and appears as an image focused out toward the
front of your vehicle. The HUD consists of the
following information:

Speedometer

Turn Signal Indicators

High
-Beam Indicator Symbol

Tachometer

Temperature, Oil and Fuel Gages

Shift Light (Performance SHIFT Light)
This light is used for performance driving to indicate
that the vehicle's best performance level has been
reached to shift the transmission into the next higher
gear. The SHIFT light will display at an engine
speed of about 5,750 rpm, just prior to reaching the
engine fuel cut
-off mode. To better understand the
vehicle's power curves, see ªCapacities and
Specificationsº in the Index.

Check Gages IconThere are five HUD selections that you can choose to
view in the HUD display. By pressing and holding the
PAGE button, you can scroll through these pages in the
following order:

You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even several
seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you
are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who
doesn't lower the high beams, or a vehicle with
misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Avoid staring
directly into the approaching headlamps.
Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle
clean
-- inside and out. Glare at night is made much
worse by dirt on the glass. Even the inside of the glass
can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty glass makes
lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would,
making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your
eyes moving; that way, it's easier to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim, so should your eyes
be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night
blindness
-- the inability to see in dim light -- and
aren't even aware of it.
