Tilt Wheel
A tilt steering wheel allows you to adjust the
steering wheel before you drive. You can also
raise it to the highest level to give your legs more
room when you enter and exit the vehicle.
The lever is located on the lower left side of the
steering column.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and
pull the lever. Move the steering wheel to a
comfortable level, then 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.Turn and
Lane-Change Signals on page 148.
•53Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 149.
•Flash-to-Pass Feature. SeeFlash-to-Pass on
page 149.
147

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.
149

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.

been activated.
For more information, see “Tow/Haul Mode” in
Towing a Trailer on page 269.

starting the engine.

No one can see as well at night as in the daytime.
But as we get older these differences increase.
A 50-year-old driver might require at least twice as
much light to see the same thing at night as a
20-year-old.
What you do in the daytime can also affect your
night vision. For example, if you spend the
day in bright sunshine you are wise to wear
sunglasses. Your eyes will have less trouble
adjusting to night. But if you are driving, do not
wear sunglasses at night. They might cut down on
glare from headlamps, but they also make a lot
of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by approaching
headlamps. It can take a second or two, or
even several seconds, for your eyes to re-adjust
to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare,
as from a driver who does not lower the high
beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps,
slow down a little. Avoid staring directly into
the approaching headlamps.Keep the windshield and all the glass on your
vehicle clean — inside and out. Glare at night is
made much worse by dirt on the glass. Even
the inside of the glass can build up a film caused
by dust. Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and
flash more than clean glass would, making the
pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that the headlamps light up far less of a
roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your
eyes moving; that way, it is easier to pick out dimly
lighted objects. Just as the headlamps should be
checked regularly for proper aim, so should your
eyes be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer
from night blindness — the inability to see in dim
light — and are not even aware of it.
