includes your:
Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
Headlamp High/Low

Turn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
The turn signal lever has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions allow
you to signal a turn or lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel 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 lane change, if the arrow flashes
faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won't see your turn signal.
2-31
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 for burned
-out bulbs and then check
the fuse (see ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index).
A chime will sound if you leave your turn signal on for
more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km).
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change your headlamps
from low beam to high
beam, push the lever away
from you. To change back
to low beam, pull the lever
toward you.
To flash your high beams, pull the lever toward you and
release. The lever will return to the low
-beam position.
Please note that your fog lamps (if equipped) will not
be illuminated while the headlamps are in the
high
-beam mode.
Flash-to-Pass
With the lever in the low-beam position, pull the lever toward
you momentarily to switch to high beams (to signal you are
going to pass). If you have the headlamps on, they will return
to low beams when you release the lever.
Windshield Wipers
You can control the windshield wipers by moving the
lever with the wiper symbol on it up or down. This lever
is located on the right side of the steering wheel.
For a single wiping cycle, pull down on the lever 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.

With the optional compact disc changer, you can play up
to 12 discs continuously. Normal size discs may be
played using the trays supplied in the magazine.
The small discs (8 cm) can be played only with specially
designed trays.
You must first load the magazine with discs before you
can play a compact disc. Each of the 12 trays holds one
disc. Press the button on the back of the magazine and
pull gently on one of the trays. Load the trays from
bottom to top, placing a disc on the tray label side down.
If you load a disc label side up, the disc will not play
and an error will occur. Gently push the tray back into
the magazine slot. Repeat this procedure for loading up
to 12 discs in the magazine.

open the door of the compact disc (CD) changer. Push
the magazine into the changer in the direction of the
arrow marked on top of the magazine.Close the door by sliding it all the way to the left. If the
door is left partially open, the changer will not operate

changer will begin checking for discs in the magazine.
This will continue for up to two minutes depending on
the number of discs loaded.
To eject the magazine from the player, slide the CD
changer door all the way open. The magazine will
automatically eject. Remember to keep the door closed
whenever possible to keep dirt and dust from getting
inside the changer.

All of the CD functions are controlled by the radio
buttons except for ejecting the magazine. Whenever a
CD magazine with discs is loaded in the changer, the
compact disc symbol (CDC) will appear on the radio
display. If the CD changer is checking the magazine for
CDs, the (CDC) symbol will flash on the display until
the changer is ready to play. When a CD begins playing,
a disc and track number will be displayed. The disc
numbers are listed on the front of the magazine.
For your convenience, a storage cavity for a spare
magazine or CDs is located below the CD changer.
To retain stored items, the attached elastic cord may be
pulled downward and secured along the bottom edge of
the opening near the center.
Compact Disc Errors
If E and a number appear on the display, an error has
occurred and the compact disc temporarily cannot play.

receiver to indicate:
E30: Disc Label Side Up
E34: CD Changer Door Open
E35: CD Changer Cartridge EmptyIf the error occurred while trying to play a CD in the
compact disc player or changer, the following conditions
may have caused the error:
The road is too rough. The disc should play when the
road is smoother.
The disc is dirty, scratched or wet.
The disc is label side up. If so, load the disc label
side down.
The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour and
try again.
The CD changer door is open. Completely close the
door to restore normal operation.
An empty magazine is inserted in the CD changer.
Try the magazine again with a disc loaded on one of
the trays.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, please contact your dealer. If your radio
displays an error number, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting the problem.

Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
