and rear turn signal lamps will ash on and off.

vehicle.

and you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.

your vehicle in a car wash, remove any
roof-mounted accessories if you can, and do not
use an automatic car wash while roof-mounted
accessories are on your vehicle. SeeWashing Your
Vehicle on page 5-96for more information.

lighting when your vehicle is used off road. These lamps
are not intended to be used in conjunction with, or in
place of, existing vehicle lighting. The lamps are not to

lamps when operating the vehicle on the highway.
The button for the off-road lamps is located in the
overhead console.
To use the lamps, be sure the engine is running.

to turn them on. Press the button again to turn them
off. An indicator light will glow near the button when the
lamps are on.Notice:Turning on the off-road lamps before
removing the lamp covers could damage the
off-road lamps and the covers. Always return the
lamps to the upright position and remove the covers
before turning on the off-road lamps.
The off-road lamps will remain on even after the ignition
is turned off. The off-road lamps button must be
pressed to turn them off.

the way up. In this position, the dome lamps will
remain on whether a door is opened or closed.

the exterior lamp control, to turn dome lamps off even
while a door is opened. To return the lamps to automatic
operation, press the button again and it will return to
the out position. In this position, the dome lamps
will come on when you open a door.

console. Press the button located next to the lamp to
turn it on. The lamps can be adjusted to point in
the direction you want.
