Horn
Press on the center area of the steering wheel to sound
the horn.
Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel allows you to 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.
The lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel is
located on the left side of the steering column.
To tilt the wheel, hold the
wheel and pull the lever
toward you. Then move the
steering wheel to a
comfortable position and
release the lever to
lock the wheel in place.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
·Turn and Lane-Change Signals
·Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
·Flash-to-Pass
·Windshield Wipers
·Windshield Washer
·Cruise Control
For information on the exterior lamps, see
Exterior
Lamps on page 3-12.

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high or high
to low, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then
release it.
When the high beams are
on, a light on the
instrument panel cluster
will also be on. If your
vehicle is equipped with
HUD, this light will
also appear in the
display area.
Flash-To-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if your headlamps are off.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, but not
so far that you hear a click.
If your headlamps are off or on low beam, your
high-beam headlamps will turn on. They'll stay on as
long as you hold the lever toward you and the
high-beam indicator on the instrument panel cluster will
come on. Release the lever to turn the high-beam
headlamps off.
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.
Use the delay position to 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
between wipes.
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, turn 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
become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Compact Disc Messages
E (Error):If you're driving on a very rough road or if it's
very hot, the disc may not play and an E and a
number may appear on the display. When the road
becomes smooth or the temperature returns to normal,
the disc should play. If the disc comes out, it could
be for one of the following reasons:
·E20:The disc is upside down, dirty, scratched,
or wet.
·E20:There's too much moisture in the air. Wait
about an hour and try again.
·E20:There may have been a problem while
burning the CD.
·E20:The label may be caught in the CD player.
If the CD is not playing correctly, for any other reason,
try a known good CD.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can not be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays
an error number, write it down and provide it to
your dealer when reporting the problem.
Trunk-Mounted CD Changer
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.
Notice:Place large objects in the trunk
appropriately so that they will not come into contact
with the CD changer. Damage could result that
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
You must ®rst 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 with the 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.
3-62

Once you have loaded the discs in the magazine, slide
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
and an error will occur. When the door is closed,
the 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.
3-63

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,
CHNGR will appear on the radio display. If the CD
changer is checking the magazine for CDs, CHNGR will
¯ash on the display until the changer is ready to play.
When a CD begins playing, the disc and track number
will be displayed. The disc numbers are listed on
the front of the magazine.

door to restore normal operation.)

when reporting the problem.

on the driver's door panel and correspond to the
numbers 1 and 2 found on the back of each remote
keyless entry transmitter.
To recall audio sources, press the unlock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter and turn the ignition
on. The source last listened to will be recalled for
the identi®ed driver 1 or 2.

ªSetting Preset Stationsº and ªSetting the Toneº
listed for your particular radio.
2. Locate the memory buttons on the driver's door
panel.
3. Press one of the memory buttons 1 or 2 until you
hear two beeps. The beeps con®rm that your
