can see the side of your vehicle and the area behind it,
while sitting in a comfortable driving position.
Both outside mirrors can be folded forward or rearward
to prevent damage when going through car washes
or conned spaces.

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
GTurn and Lane Change Signals. SeeTurn and
Lane-Change Signals on page 3-7.
3Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer. See
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8.
Flash-to-Pass. SeeFlash-to-Pass on page 3-8.
NWindshield Wipers. SeeWindshield Wipers on
page 3-9.
LWindshield Washer. SeeWindshield Washer
on page 3-9.
ZRear Window Wiper. SeeWindshield Washer
on page 3-9.
=Rear Window Washer. SeeWindshield Washer
on page 3-9.
For information on the headlamps, seeExterior Lamps
on page 3-14.
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 lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is nished, the lever will return
automatically.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ash 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 ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it.
3-7

As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow
ashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers will not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and check the
fuse. SeeBulb Replacement on page 5-46andFuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-96.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will ash at a
normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned
out. Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly
to make sure they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver know to turn
it off. If you need to leave the signal on for more than
3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it
back on.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high beam,
push the turn signal/multifunction lever away from you.
When the high beams are
on, this light will appear on
the instrument panel
cluster.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low beam,
pull the turn signal/multifunction lever toward you.
Flash-to-Pass
When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward you
to momentarily turn on the high beams. This will
signal that you are going to pass. When you release the
lever, they will turn off.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills depends
upon the vehicle’s speed, its load, and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills, the accelerator
pedal might have to be used in order to maintain
the vehicle’s speed. When going downhill, the brakes
might have to be applied, or the transaxle might have to
be shifted to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed
down. Doing either of these things will take the
vehicle out of cruise. It may be better not to use the
cruise control if the brakes constantly have to be
applied, or the vehicle continuously needs to be shifted
to a lower gear.
Cancelling Cruise Control
To cancel a cruise control session, pull the cruise
control lever forward, or step lightly on the brake pedal.
Doing either of these things will only end the current
cruise control session, but the set speed will be retained
in memory.
Push the button at the end of the cruise control lever to
turn the system off.
Erasing Speed Memory
When the cruise control or the ignition is turned off, the
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
The control to the left of the
steering column operates
the exterior lamps.
9(Off):Turn the control to this position to toggle off
all lamps. This is a momentary control that will spring
back to AUTO when released.
This momentary control will turn the automatic
headlamps and/or the Daytime Running Lamps on and
off for U.S. vehicles. For vehicles rst sold in Canada,
this is only true when the transaxle is in PARK (P).
3-14

AUTO (Automatic):Turn the control to this position to
set your headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode,
if enabled, will turn the exterior lamps on and off
automatically depending on how much light is available
outside the vehicle.
Due to the momentary switch design, your automatic
lights may be disabled even if the control is in the AUTO
position.
;(Parking Lamps):Turn the control to this position
to turn on the parking lamps together with the
following:
Taillamps
Instrument Panel Lights
5(Headlamps):Turn the control to this position to
turn on the headlamps, together with the previously
listed lamps and lights.
Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature, if equipped, will automatically activate the
headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield
wipers have been in use for about 30 seconds and when
all of the following conditions are met.
The exterior lamp control is in AUTO.
The headlamps have not already been activated by
automatic lighting.
The automatic lighting feature has not been
disabled using the exterior lamp control.
SeeExterior Lamps on page 3-14for additional
information.
If the wipers are activated for over 30 seconds and the
exterior lamp control is in the parking lamps position,
or the automatic lighting feature has been disabled using
the exterior lamp control, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will appear on the Driver Information Center,
if equipped.
Headlamps on Reminder
If you turn the ignition to LOCK while leaving the lamps
on, you will hear a warning chime once the driver’s
door is opened.
3-15

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)/
Automatic Headlamp System
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short
periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional
Daytime Running Lamps are required on all vehicles rst
sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it is not covered. The DRL
system will make front parking and turn signal lamps
come on in daylight when the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is off.
When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. Your instrument panel will not be lit up.When it is dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will
come on automatically. When it is bright enough
outside, the exterior lamps will turn off and the DRL will
turn on. Of course, you may still turn on the headlamps
any time you need to.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system will come on immediately. Once
you leave the garage, it will take approximately
30 seconds for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,
your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position. SeeInstrument Panel
Brightness on page 3-17.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL and automatic
headlamps off, toggle the exterior lamp control to off
after starting the vehicle.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
3-16

Highbeam On Light
This light will come on
when the high-beam
headlamps or the
Flash-to-Pass feature
is in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8.
Fuel Gage
When the indicator nears empty, you still have a little
fuel left, but you should get more soon.Your fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have
left when the ignition is on.
Here are four things some owners ask about. All these
things are normal and do not indicate that anything
is wrong with the fuel gage.
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads full.
It takes a little more (or less) fuel to ll up than the
gage reads. For example, the gage read half full,
but it took more (or less) than half of the tank’s
capacity to ll it.
The gage pointer may move while cornering,
braking or speeding up.
The gage may not indicate empty when the ignition
is turned off.
Low Fuel Warning Light
The light next to the fuel gage will come on briey when
you are starting the engine.
This light comes on when the fuel tank is low on fuel.
To turn it off, add fuel to the fuel tank.
