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
includes the following:
GTurn and Lane Change Signals
23Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Flash-to-Pass Feature
NWindshield Wipers
JWindshield Washer
ICruise Control
173

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
start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after
one wipe. If more wipes are needed, hold the
band on mist longer.
9(Off):Move the band to off, to stop the
wipers.
N(Windshield Wipers):Turn the band to
control the windshield wipers.
The wiper speed can be set for a long or short
delay between wipes. 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.
175

Fog Lamps
Your vehicle may have this feature. Use your fog
lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
Your ignition must be in RUN for your fog lamps
to work.
The fog lamp button
is located on the
instrument panel
to the right of the
exterior lamps knob.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on. Press
the button again to turn them off. A light will
glow near the button while the fog lamps are on.
Fog lamps will turn off whenever your high-beam
headlamps are on.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
Press the knob located
next to the exterior
lamps knob to extend it.
Turn the knob to adjust the instrument panel
lights. Turn the knob all the way up to turn on
the interior lamps. Press the knob back into
its stored position when you are not using it.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps will come on when you open a
door unless the dome lamp override is pressed in.

Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or voltage
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC),
you may see the voltage move up or down.
This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will
be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very
high electrical loads.A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged
into accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge
of the battery. It does this by balancing the
generator’s output and the vehicle’s electrical
needs. It can increase engine idle speed to
generate more power, whenever needed.
It can temporarily reduce the power demands
of some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels,
without being noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action, this action
may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver
Information Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or
Service Battery Charging System. If this message
is displayed, it is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much as possible.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 224.

Cruise Control Light
If your vehicle has a
Driver Information
Center (DIC), this light
will come on when
the cruise control is set.
SeeCruise Control on page 177andDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 224for more information.
Reduced Engine Power Light
This light comes on
when a noticeable
reduction in the vehicle’s
performance occurs.
The vehicle can be driven at a reduced speed
when the reduced engine power light is on,
but acceleration and speed may be reduced.The performance may be reduced until the next
time you drive your vehicle. If this light stays
on, see your dealer as soon as possible for
diagnosis and repair.
This light may also come on if there is a problem
with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
system. If this happens, take the vehicle in
for service as soon as possible.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
when the high-beam
headlamps are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 175for more information.

Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to
be impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Do not drink and drive.
Adjust the inside rearview mirror to reduce
the glare from headlamps behind you.
Since you cannot see as well, slow down
and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.
Your vehicle’s headlamps can light up only so
much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe
place and rest.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.
