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.

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.
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.
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.
149

;(Parking Lamps):Turn the control to this
position to turn on the parking lamps, together with
the following:
•Instrument Panel Lights
•Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) (Canada)
•Sidemarker Lamps
•Taillamps

If the DRL are active when the control is turned to
this position, the DRL will turn off.
For vehicles first sold in Canada, the DRL will
remain active along with the lamps mentioned
above.
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.

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, you may need
to 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 may 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 may 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.
