Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your
vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased through your
dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your
dealer has coded the new transmitter, the
lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each
vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters
matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another
vehicle.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm
system.
A security light, located
on top of the instrument
panel will ash slowly
to let you know that the
system has been
armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the
power door lock switch.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries
to enter the vehicle without using the optional
remote keyless entry transmitter or the key, or tries
to turn the ignition on without using the correct
key. The horn will sound and the headlamps and
parking lamps will ash any time the alarm
sounds.

Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel lets you adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. You can raise the steering wheel
to the highest level to give your legs more room
when you enter and exit the vehicle.
The lever that lets you tilt the steering wheel is
located on the left side of the steering column.
To tilt the wheel, hold
the wheel and pull the
lever. Then move
the wheel to a
comfortable position and
release the lever to
lock the wheel in place.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
GTurn and Lane-Change Signals. See
Turn and Lane-Change Signals on page 178.
53Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 179.
Flash-to-Pass. SeeFlash-to-Pass on
page 179.
WIPERNWindshield Wipers. See
Windshield Wipers on page 179.
177

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high,
push the turn signal lever away from you, then
release it. To change the headlamps from high to
low, pull the lever toward you.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel
cluster and the HUD
display, if the vehicle
has this, will also be on.
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.
Windshield Wipers
WIPERN:Turn the band marked WIPER to
control the windshield wipers.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 cycle. If you want
more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer.
Delay:For delayed wiping cycles, you can set the
wiper speed for a long or short delay between
wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow.
Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to LO, the shorter the delay time.
LO:For steady wiping cycles at low speed, turn
the band away from you to the LO position.
HI:For high-speed wiping, turn the band away
from you to the HI position.
OFF:To stop the wipers, turn the band to OFF.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may
prevent you from seeing well enough to drive
safely. To avoid damage, carefully clear ice and
snow from the wiper blades before using them. If
they are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A
circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills
depends upon your speed, load and the steepness
of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain
your speed. When going downhill, you may
have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your
speed down. Of course, applying the brake
takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers nd
this to be too much trouble and do not use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move the cruise control switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is
erased.
Exterior Lamps
The control on the left
side of the steering
column operates
the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp control has three positions:
AUTO (Automatic Headlamp Control/Off):
Turning the control to this position will activate the
automatic headlamps when it is dark enough
outside and turn off all lamps and lights during the
day except for the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
185

<(Parking Lamps):Turning the control to this
position turns on the parking lamps together
with the following:
Taillamps
Instrument Panel Lights
5(Headlamps):Turning the control to this
position turns on the headlamps together with the
previously listed lamps and lights.
Lamps on Reminder
If the driver’s door is opened and you turn the
ignition to OFF while leaving the lamps on, you will
hear a warning chime.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
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 your reduced
intensity low-beam headlamps come on in daylight
when the following conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
The shift lever is not in PARK (P).
When the DRL are on, only your reduced intensity
high-beam headlamps 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 go out and
the DRL will turn on. Of course, you may still
turn on the headlamps any time you need to.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
186

Automatic Headlamp System
When the exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO,
and it is dark enough outside, the headlamps
and parking lamps will, automatically, come on.
The lamps will also come on automatically if
the following conditions are met:
The ignition is in ON.
The parking brake is released.
Fog Lamps
The fog lamp button is
located on the exterior
lamp control.Press the FOG PUSH button to turn the fog lamps
on. The FOG light, located next to the fog lamp
button, will come on to indicate when the fog
lamps are on. To turn off the fog lamps, press the
fog lamp button or turn the ignition off.
If you turn on the fog lamps while the DRL are on,
the parking lamps will turn on automatically.
Your fog lamps will go off when you switch to high
beams. When you return to low beam, the fog
lamps will come back on. Using your high beams
in fog is not recommended.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
