Power Tilt Wheel and Telescopic
Steering Column
The power tilt wheel
control is located on the
outboard side of the
steering column.
To operate the power tilt feature, push the control
up and the steering wheel will tilt up. Push the
control down and the steering wheel will go down.
Push the control forward and the steering wheel
moves toward the front of the vehicle. Push
the control rearward and the steering wheel moves
toward the rear of the vehicle. To set the memory
position, seeDIC Vehicle Personalization on
page 220andMemory Seat, Mirrors and Steering
Wheel on page 10.
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 142.
3Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer. See
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 143.
-Fog Lamps. SeeFog Lamps on page 168.
141

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high, push the turn signal lever all the way forward.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
To change the headlamps from high to low, pull
the lever rearward.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use the high-beam
headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that
you want to pass. Pull and hold the turn signal
lever toward you to use. When you do, the
following will occur:
If the low-beam headlamps are on, the
high-beam headlamps will turn on. They will
stay on as long as you hold the lever
there. Release the lever to turn them off.
If the headlamps are on high-beam, they will
switch to low-beam. To return to high beam,
push the lever away from you.
143

Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers have been in
use for approximately six seconds and the
multifunction lever is in the AUTO position. See
Exterior Lamps on page 164.
When the exterior lamp control has been turned
off or is in the parking lamp position and the wiper
control is on delay, low speed or high speed,
the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off.
Headlamps on Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp
control is left on in either the headlamp or parking
lamp position and the driver’s door is opened
with the ignition off.
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 DRL are required on all
vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the front turn signal lamps
come on when the following conditions are met:
It is still daylight and the ignition is on.
The exterior lamp control is in the off position.
The transmission is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps
are on. No other exterior lamps such as the
parking lamps, taillamps, etc. are on when the
DRL are used. Your instrument panel will not be lit.
When it is dark enough outside, the front turn
signal lamps turn off and normal low-beam
headlamps turn on.
166

Fog Lamps
Use fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
The fog lamps control is located on the
multifunction lever next to the exterior lamp
control.
-(Fog Lamps):Turning the band to this
position will turn the fog lamps on.
When you turn the fog lamps on, the fog lamp
light will appear on the instrument panel cluster to
indicate that the fog lamps and the parking
lamps are on.
If you turn the high-beam headlamps on, the fog
lamps will turn off. They will turn on again
when you switch to low-beam headlamps.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to
operate. The fog lamps will turn off when the
ignition is turned off.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Twilight Sentinel®
Twilight Sentinel®can turn your lamps on and off
for you. A light sensor on top of the instrument
panel makes the Twilight Sentinel
®work, so
be sure it is not covered.
With Twilight Sentinel
®you will see the following
happen:
When it is dark enough outside, the front turn
signal lamps (DRL) will go off, and the
headlamps and parking lamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with headlamps
will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will go off, and the front turn signal
lamps (DRL) will come on, as long as the
exterior lamp switch is in the AUTO position.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage,
the automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take about one minute for the automatic headlamp
system to change to DRL if it is light outside.

The HUD consists of the following information:
Speedometer
Turn Signal Indicators
High-Beam Indicator Symbol
Tap-Up/Tap-Down Transmission Feature
Check Gages Icon
Adaptive Cruise Control Features and
Indicators
Radio Features
Be sure to continue scanning your displays,
controls and driving environment just as you would
in a vehicle without HUD. If you never look at
your instrument panel cluster, you may not
see something important, such as a warning light.

GAGES message will display in the HUD.
View your Driver Information Center (DIC) for
more information.

This light comes on
whenever the
headlamps are on.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
when the high-beam
headlamps are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 143.
Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel
you have left when
the ignition is on.
When the needle approaches the low fuel symbol,
LOW FUEL will appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) display. At this time, you still have a
little fuel left, but you should get more soon.
Press RESET to acknowledge a DIC message(s).
Pressing RESET will also turn off a DIC message
but the LOW FUEL message will come on
again in 10 minutes if you have not added fuel to
the vehicle.
