Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change your headlamps from low beams to high
beams, or from high to low, pull the multifunction
lever all the way toward you. Then release it.
While the high beams
are on, this light will
appear on the
instrument panel cluster.
This light works only while the key is in RUN. The
fog lamps (if equipped) are not illuminated
when the high beams are on.
Flash-to-Pass
With the turn signal lever in the low-beam position,
pull the lever toward you briey to switch to
high-beam, (to signal you are going to pass).
If the headlamps are on, they will return to
low-beam when the lever is released.
This feature operates even if the headlamps are off.
Windshield Wipers
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. Damaged
wiper blades may not clear the windshield well,
making it harder to see and drive safely. If
the blades do become damaged, install new
blades or blade inserts. For more information, see
Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement on
page 347.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(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 wipe. If you want more wipe cycles, hold
the band on mist longer.
151

6(Delay):You can set the wiper speed for a long
or short delay between wiping cycles. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band
to choose the delay time. The closer to the top
of the lever, the shorter the delay.
6(Low Speed):For steady wiping at low
speed, turn the band away from you to the
rst solid band past the delay settings.
1(High Speed):For high-speed wiping, turn
the band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band to off.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever, there’s a
paddle with the windshield washer symbol on it.
To spray washer uid on the windshield, push the
paddle. The wipers will run for several sweeps and
then either stop or return to your preset speed. The
ignition key must be in ACCESSORY or RUN for
this to work. SeeWindshield Washer Fluid on
page 332.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
When you are low on washer uid, a Washer Fluid
Low Add Fluid message will be lit in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) for 60 seconds. When the
ignition is turned off, a message will appear
again for three seconds as a reminder that
the uid level is low. For more information on
DIC messages, seeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 195.
The washer uid message will no longer display
when the washer uid reservoir has been lled.
152

Setting Cruise Control
Cruise control will not work if the parking brake is
set, or if the master cylinder brake uid level is low.
The cruise control light on the instrument panel
cluster will come on after the cruise control
has been set to the desired speed.
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when
you are not using cruise, you might hit a
button and go into cruise when you do not
want to. You could be startled and even
lose control. Keep the cruise control switch
off until you want to use cruise control.
1. Press the cruise control on/off button.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press and release the SET– button located on
the steering wheel.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set the cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This shuts off
the cruise control, but it does not need to be reset.
Once you are driving about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, press the +RES button on the steering
wheel. The vehicle will go back to your chosen
speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
To increase the cruise speed while using
cruise control:
Press and hold the +RES button on the
steering wheel until you reach your new
desired speed, then release it.
To increase vehicle speed in small increments,
press the +RES button.
154

Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
To reduce your speed while using cruise control:
Press and hold the SET– button on the
steering wheel until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, press
the SET– button on the steering wheel
briey. Each time this is done, you will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase vehicle
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the cruise speed you
set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills
depends upon the vehicle 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 ends the 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 three ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press the[(cancel) button on the
steering wheel.
Press theT(on/off) button on the
steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased by
turning off the cruise control or the ignition.
