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 196.
53Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 197.
NWindshield Wipers. SeeWindshield

ZRear Wiper. SeeRear Window

=Rear Wiper Wash. SeeRear Window
Wiper/Washer on page 201.
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.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever for
less than one second until the arrow starts to ash.
This will cause the turn signals to automatically
ash three times. It will ash six times if tow-haul
mode is active.
196

Holding the turn signal lever for more than
one second will cause the turn signals to ash until
you release the lever. The lever will return by itself
when it is released.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly 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 a
blown fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 507.Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than
3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at each
ash of the turn signal and the message TURN
SIGNAL ON will also appear in the Driver
Information Control (DIC). To turn the chime and
message off, move the turn signal lever to the
off position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
53(Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer):To
change the headlamps from low to high beam, push
the lever toward the instrument panel. To return to
low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this indicator light
on the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.

The headlamp stalk is moved forward to
the high-beam position. SeeHeadlamp
High/Low-Beam Changer on page 197.
When either of these conditions occur, the
IntellliBeam™ feature will be disabled and the
IntellliBeam™ light in the mirror will turn off
until the high-beam stalk is returned to
the neutral position.
If IntellliBeam™ was using low-beams prior to
this action, the IntellliBeam™ feature will be
temporarily disabled until the stalk is returned
to the neutral position.
The exterior lamp control is turned to any
setting except AUTO.
When this occurs, IntellliBeam™ will be
disabled until the control is turned back to the
AUTO position.
The IntellliBeam™ system is turned off at the
inside rearview mirror.IntellliBeam™ may not turn off the high-beams if
the system cannot detect other vehicle’s lamps
because of any of the following:
The others vehicle’s lamp(s) are missing,
damaged, obstructed from view or otherwise
undetected.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) are covered with
dirt, snow and/or road spray.
The other vehicle’s lamp(s) cannot be detected
due to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road
spray, mist or other airborne obstructions.
Your vehicle’s windshield is dirty, cracked or
obstructed by something that blocks the
view of the IntellliBeam light sensor.
Your vehicle’s windshield is covered with ice,
dirt, haze or other obstructions.
Your vehicle is loaded such that the front end
of the vehicle points upward, causing the
IntellliBeam sensor to aim high and not detect
headlamps and taillamps.
You are driving on winding or hilly roads.
You may need to manually disable or cancel the
high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam
headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist.

Using the Six-Disc CD Changer
The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs
and the smaller CDs are loaded in the same
manner.
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality may be
reduced due to CD-R quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the CD-R has been
handled. There may be an increase in skipping,
difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading
and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the
bottom surface of the CD. If the surface of the
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly. If the
surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of Your CDs
and DVDs on page 319for more information.If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
Notice:If you add any label to a CD, insert
more than one CD into the slot at a time, or
attempt to play scratched or damaged CDs, you
could damage the CD player. When using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition
without any label, load one CD at a time, and
keep the CD player and the loading slot free of
foreign materials, liquids, and debris.
Do not add any label to a CD; it could get caught
in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen instead.
If an error appears on the display, see “CD
Messages” later in this section.
When a CD is inserted, the CD functions will
appear on the display above the pushbuttons, in
place of the preset stations, if programmed.

press the PROG button to perform the menu
function, enter.Theft-Deterrent Feature
THEFTLOCK®is designed to discourage theft
of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works
automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle
Identication Number (VIN). If the radio is
moved to a different vehicle, it will not operate.
If the radio is removed from your vehicle, the
original VIN in the radio can be used to trace the
radio back to your vehicle.
With THEFTLOCK

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.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM™ Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio
reception from coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade in and out. In
addition, traveling or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels may cause loss of the
XM™ signal for a period of time. The radio may
display No Signl to indicate interference.
