LQWindshield Washer. SeeWindshield

For information on the headlamps, seeExterior
Lamps on page 158.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever up or down.
The lever returns to its original position when the
turn is completed.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until the
lane change is completed. The lever will return
to its original position when released.
Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a turn
or lane change, or that fail to work, may indicate
a burned-out signal bulb or fuse. Other drivers will
not see the signal. SeeFront Turn Signal and
Parking Lamps on page 397andTaillamps, Turn
Signal, Sidemarker, Stoplamps and Back-up
Lamps on page 398for turn signal bulb
replacement procedures. Also seeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 450for location of fuses.
A chime will sound if the turn signal is left on
for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km).

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, a light on the
instrument panel cluster
also will be on if the
ignition is on.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal lever toward you.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam
headlamps momentarily to signal a driver in
front of you that you want to pass.
To use it, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever
toward you until the high-beam headlamps
come on, then release the lever to turn them off.
Windshield Wipers
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. Damaged
wiper blades may not clear the windshield well,
making it harder to see and drive safely. If the
blades do become damaged, install new blades or
blade inserts. For more information, seeWindshield
Wiper Blade Replacement on page 401.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle, turn the
band to mist. Hold it there until the wipers
start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after
one wipe. If you want more wipe cycles, hold
the band on mist longer.

Reduced Engine Power Light
If the reduced engine
power light is on, a
chime will sound and a
noticeable reduction
in the vehicle’s
performance may occur.
If the reduced engine power light is on, but there
is no reduction in performance, proceed to
your destination. The performance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle
may be driven at a reduced speed while the
reduced engine power light is on, but acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
Anytime the reduced engine power light stays on,
the vehicle should be taken to an authorized
GM dealer as soon as possible for service.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
when the high-beam
headlamps are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 153.

Radio Reception
You may experience frequency interference and
static during normal radio reception if items
such as cellphone chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic devices
are plugged into the accessory power outlet.
If there is interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range can
cause station frequencies to interfere with each
other. For better radio reception, most AM
radio stations will boost the power levels during
the day, and then reduce these levels during
the night. Static can also occur when things like
storms and power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try reducing the
treble on your radio.
