Tilt Wheel
The steering wheel should be adjusted before
you drive.
The tilt lever is
located to the left of
the steering column,
under the turn
signal lever.
It can be raised to the highest level to give your
legs more room when you enter and exit the
vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and
pull the lever toward you. 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

NWindshield Wipers
JWindshield Washer
ICruise Control
173

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
let you 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
returns automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster ashes in the
direction of the turn
or lane change.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever returns
by itself when released. The bottom of the outside
rearview mirrors might also have lane change
indicators.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb could 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 the fuse. SeeFuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 503and check for
burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added
wiring for the trailer lamps, a turn signal asher
is used. With this asher installed, the signal
indicator ashes even if a turn signal bulb
is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal
lamps regularly to make sure they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than
3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime sounds at each
ash of the turn signal. To turn off the chime,
move the turn signal lever to the off position.
174

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.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you 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 in the automatic position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you,
then release it.If the headlamps are in the automatic position
or on low beam, the high-beam headlamps turn on.
They will stay on as long as you hold the lever
toward you. The high-beam indicator on the
instrument panel cluster comes on. Release the
lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
8(Mist):Turn the band to mist, for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers

one wipe. If more wipes are needed, hold the
band on mist longer.

wipers.
N(Windshield Wipers):Turn the band to
control the windshield wipers.

delay time. The closer to the top of the lever,
the shorter the delay.

For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band
away from you to the rst solid band past the
delay settings. For high-speed wiping, turn
the band further, to the second solid band past
the delay settings. To stop the wipers, move
the band to off.
