Tilt Wheel
A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel
before you drive. You can raise the steering
wheel to the highest level to give your legs more
room when you enter and exit the vehicle.
The lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel
is located on the left side of the steering column.
To tilt the wheel, hold
the wheel and pull the
lever. Then move
the wheel to a
comfortable position and
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. See
Turn and Lane-Change Signals on page 196.
53Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 197.

page 197.

Wipers on page 197.

Turn Signal On Chime
If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver
know to turn it off. If you need to leave the signal
on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the
signal and then turn it back on.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high beam, push the turn signal/multifunction lever
away from you.
When the high beams
are on, this light will
appear on the
instrument panel cluster.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal/multifunction lever
toward you.
Flash-to-Pass
When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward
you to momentarily turn on the high beams.
This will signal that you are going to pass. When
you release the lever, they will turn off.
Windshield Wipers
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 wipes, hold the band on mist
longer.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band
to off.
N(Delay):You can set the wiper speed 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.
197

6(Low Speed):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.
1(High Speed):For high-speed wiping, turn
the band further, to the second solid band past the
delay settings.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they are frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If
your blades do become worn or damaged, get
new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
LQ(Windshield Washer):Press and hold the
windshield washer paddle with this symbol on
it to wash your windshield. The washers and
wipers will operate.
When you release the paddle, the washers will
stop, and the wipers will continue to operate
for two cycles, unless your wipers had already
been on. In that case, the wipers will resume the
wiper speed you had selected earlier.
{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.
198

Rear Window Wiper/Washer
{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.
If your vehicle has the
rear window washer/
wiper, the controls are
located on the end of the
turn signal/multifunction
lever.
9(Off):Move the lever to this position to turn
the rear washers/wipers off.
Z(Rear Wiper):Move the lever to this position
to turn the rear wipers on.
=(Rear Washer/Wiper):Move the lever to this
position to wash and wipe the rear window.
The rear window washer uses the same uid bottle
as the windshield washer. However, the rear
window washer will run out of uid before
the windshield washer. If you can wash your
windshield but not your rear window, check the
uid level.

activate the headlamps and parking lamps after
the windshield wipers have been in use for
about 30 seconds and when all of the following
conditions are met.

Headlamps on Reminder
If you turn the ignition to LOCK while leaving the
lamps on, you will hear a warning chime once
the driver’s door is opened.
Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL)/Automatic Headlamp System
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 rst
sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel
makes the DRL work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system will make front parking and
turn signal lamps come on in daylight when the
following conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is off.
