To change the steering wheel angle,
hold the steering wheel, push the lock
release lever, tilt the steering wheel to
the desired angle and return the lever
to its original position.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
After adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down to make
sure it is locked in position.
Adjust the mirror so that you can see
the side of your vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger ’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.

Daytime running light system
The daytime running light system can
make it easier for others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day. This sys-
tem can be helpful in many different driv-
ing conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and
before sunset.
This system will make your headlights
come on at a reduced brightness when:
The headlight/turn signal lever knob is
in the “OFF” position.
The engine is running.
The parking brake is released.
To turn on the other exterior lights and
instrument panel lights, twist the knob to

Twist the knob to position 2 to turn the
headlights to full intensity for night driving.

TURN SIGNALS
To signal a turn, push the headlight/
turn signal lever up or down to position
1.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
The lever automatically returns after you
make a turn, but you may have to return
it by hand after you change lanes.
To signal a lane change, move the lever
up or down to the pressure point (position
2) and hold it.
If the turn signal indicator lights (green
lights) on the instrument panel flash faster
than normal, a front or rear turn signal
bulb is burned out.To adjust the headlight beam level, turn
the dial.
The following list shows examples of prop-
er dial settings. For loading conditions oth-
er than those listed, adjust the dial posi-
tion so that the beam level is the same
as the one obtained according to the list
when only the driver is in the vehicle. The
higher the number of the dial position, the
lower the headlight beam level.
Always keep the headlight beam at the
proper level, or your headlights may
dazzle other road users.Loading condition
