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 finished, the lever will
return automatically.An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will flash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the
lever until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it
there until you complete your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
If you move the lever all the way up or down, and
the arrow flashes at twice the normal rate, a
signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers
may not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when
you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs or a
blown fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 393.

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 flash
of the turn signal. To turn off the chime, move the
turn signal lever to the off position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
23(Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer):To
change the headlamps from low to high beam, pull
the multifunction lever all the way toward you. Then
release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on
the instrument panel
cluster also will be on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature allows you to use your high-beam
headlamps to signal a driver in front of you
that you want to pass. It works even if your
headlamps are off.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, but
not so far that you hear it click.
If your headlamps are off or on low-beam, your
high-beam headlamps will turn on and stay on as
long as you hold the lever toward you and the
high-beam indicator on the instrument panel will
come on. Release the lever to turn the high-beam
headlamps off.

want to. You could be startled and even
lose control. Keep the cruise control switch

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
driver’s side of your
instrument panel
operates the
exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp control has four positions:
Ø (Defeat):Turn the control to this position to
turn off the DRL. Vehicles first sold in Canada
cannot turn off the DRL.
i(Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)):Turning
the control to this position selects the DRL.
When the vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P), the
DRL will turn on, unless defeated. When the
DRL are active, the DRL indicator will illuminate.
;(Parking Lamps):Turn the control to this
position to turn on the parking lamps, together with
the following:
•Instrument Panel Lights
•Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) (Canada)
•Sidemarker Lamps
•Taillamps
•License Plate Lamps
If the DRL are active when the control is turned to
this position, the DRL will turn off.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the DRL
will remain active along with the lamps
mentioned above.
155

5(Headlamps):Turn the control to this position
to turn on the headlamps together with the parking
lamps and turn off the daytime running lamps.
You can switch your headlamps from high to
low-beam by pulling the turn signal/high-beam
lever toward you.
A circuit breaker protects your headlamps. If you
have an electrical overload, your headlamps
will flicker on and off. Have your headlamp wiring
checked right away if this happens.
Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder chime will sound when your control is
turned to the headlamps or parking lamps position,
your key is out of the ignition, and your driver’s door
is open. To disable the chime, turn the control to the
Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) position and then
back to the parking lamps or headlamps position.
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 first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
•The ignition is on.
•The exterior lamps control is in DRL mode
and not in the defeat position.
When the DRL are on, only the parking lamps will
be on. The other lamps will not be on. The
instrument panel will be lit.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the
headlamps will go off, and your DRL lamps
(parking lamps) will illuminate.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp control
to the off position or shift into PARK (P). The
DRL will stay off until the control is toggled again
or the vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P).
This procedure applies only to vehicles first sold in
the United States.
