Other Warning Devices
If you carry reflective triangles, you can set one up at
the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your
vehicle.
Horn
The horn can be sounded by pressing on the center of
the steering wheel pad.
Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. You can raise the steering wheel to
the highest level to give your legs more room when you
enter and exit 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. Then
move the wheel to a comfortable position and release
the lever to lock the wheel in place.

Power Tilt Wheel and Telescopic
Steering Column
If your vehicle has this
feature, the power tilt
wheel control is located on
the outboard side of the
steering column.
To operate the power tilt feature, push the control up
and the steering wheel will tilt up. Push the control down
and the steering wheel will go down.If the power tilt control is pressed up or down and held
in that position, there will be a slight movement and
a slight pause followed by a continuous movement in the
direction the control is being pressed. This allows
very fine control of the steering wheel position. If the
control is bumped, the steering wheel moves
approximately one degree in the direction commanded.
Push the control forward and the steering wheel
moves toward the front of the vehicle. Push the control
rearward and the steering wheel moves toward the
rear of the vehicle. To set the memory position, seeDIC
Vehicle Personalization on page 3-63andMemory
Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-52.

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever located on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
•Turn and Lane Change Signals
•Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
•Flash-To-Pass
For information on the exterior lamps, seeExterior
Lamps on page 3-16.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever on the left side of the
steering wheel all the way up or down. The lever returns
automatically when the turn is complete.
An arrow located on the
instrument panel cluster
will flash in the direction of
the turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is
complete. The lever returns when it is released.
If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound
and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a mile to remind
you to turn it off.
Arrows that flash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb.
Other drivers will not see the turn signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs if
the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn. SeeFuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-97.

Windshield Washer
The windshield washer has both a “demand” mode and
a “programmed” mode, depending on the amount of
windshield washer fluid you need.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
To spray washer fluid on the windshield in the
programmed mode, press and release the button on the
tip of the lever. The washer will provide a measured
amount of fluid to the windshield and the wiper will either
stop or return to your original wiping speed. To spray
washer fluid on the windshield in the demand mode,
press and hold the button until you have enough fluid,
and the wipers will either stop or return to your
original wiping speed.
CHECK WASHER FLUID will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the washer fluid
reaches a low level.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. This is helpful on long trips. Cruise
control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph
(40 km/h). When cruise control is on, you will see
a CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster.
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can not drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. SeeTraction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-8. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
turn the cruise control back on.

Setting Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
The buttons to operate cruise control are located on the
steering wheel.
1. Press CRUISE ON/OFF, located on the bottom left
of the steering wheel, to turn cruise control on. An
indicator light will come on to show that the
cruise control is on.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press SET/CST (coast) located on the bottom right
of the steering wheel. The CRUISE light will display
on the instrument panel cluster.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
