TILT STEERING COLUMN
To tilt the column, push down on the lever below the
multi-function control lever and move the steering wheel
up or down, as desired. Pull the lever back up to lock the
column firmly in place.WARNING!
Tilting the steering column while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous. Without a stable steering col-
umn, you could lose control of the vehicle and have
an accident. Adjust the column only while the ve-
hicle is stopped. Be sure it is locked before driving.

will flash when the Traction Control System is in use.
The TRAC OFF switch is located on the instrument panel
below the radio.

up.
100 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

There are two optional power outlets. One is in the
Accessory Switch Bank, in the center of the instrument
panel.
This outlet is powered directly by the battery, regardless
of the ignition switch position. All accessories connected
to this outlet should be removed or turned off when the
vehicle is not in use, to protect the battery against
discharge.The second is in the right rear cargo area.
Since this outlet is remote from the driver, it is powered
by the ignition switch, only when it is in the9ON9or
9ACCESSORY9positions, to protect the battery against
discharge. Note: Neither of the power outlets will accept
a cigar lighter unit. They are intended only for accessory
usage.
