Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the turn signal lever located
on the left side of the steering column all the
way up or down. The lever returns automatically
when the turn is complete.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
If the vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up-Display
(HUD), a right or left turn signal will appear in
the HUD area when making turns or lane changes.
SeeHead-Up Display (HUD) on page 151for
more information.Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to
ash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the
lane change is complete. The lever returns to its
original position when it is released.
Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a turn
or lane change may be caused by a burned-out
signal bulb. Other drivers will not see the signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. SeeReplacement Bulbs on page 398,
Front Turn Signal, Parking and Fog Lamps on
page 394, andTaillamps, Turn Signal, and
Stoplamps on page 395. Also, check the fuse for
burned-out bulbs if a turn signal arrow fails to
work when signaling a turn. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 460for location information.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for more than
0.75 of a mile (1.21 km), a warning chime will
sound and the TURN SIGNAL ON warning
message will appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) display. See “Turn Signal On” under
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 200.

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Push forward on the exterior lamps control
lever to change the headlamps from low to
high-beam. Pull the lever back and then release it
to change from high to low-beam.
This symbol appears on
the instrument panel
cluster when the
high-beam headlamps
are on.
When the high-beam headlamps are on, the fog
lamps will not be on. If the vehicle is equipped with
the Head-Up-Display (HUD) an arrow will appear
in the HUD area indicating that the high-beams
are on. SeeHead-Up Display (HUD) on page 151
for more information.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature allows the use of the high-beam
headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that
you want to pass.
Pull and hold the exterior lamps control lever to
use this feature. When this is done, the following
will occur:
The high-beam headlamps will turn on, while
the headlamps are off, in low-beam, or in
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) mode. They
will stay on as long as the lever is held in this
position. Release the lever to turn them off.
The headlamps will switch to low beam if the
headlamps had been in the high-beam
mode. To return to high-beam, push the lever.
If the vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up Display
(HUD), an arrow will appear on the display to
indicate that the high beams are on.

The CRUISE SET message will also appear
briey on the Head-Up Display (HUD), if your
vehicle has one, when the cruise control lever is
pushed to the minus (set) or the plus
(resume/accelerate) positions.
A cruise control light will also appear on the
instrument panel cluster when the cruise control is
on. This light will disappear when the brakes
are applied or the cruise control is cancelled. It will
reappear when the set cruise speed is resumed.
The light will go out when the cruise control is
turned off. SeeCruise Control Light on page 185.
Resuming a Set Speed
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise control switch
briey from on to resume/accelerate.
Your vehicle will go back up to your previously
chosen speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release the
switch or apply the brake. Do not hold the
switch at resume/accelerate, unless you want the
vehicle to go faster.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the set button at the end of the
lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the
higher speed. If the accelerator pedal is
held longer than 60 seconds, cruise control
will turn off.
Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the
speed desired, and then release the switch.
To increase the vehicle speed in very small
amounts, move the switch briey to resume/
accelerate. Each time you do this, your vehicle
will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The acceleration feature will only work after the
cruise control speed has been set by pushing the
cruise control set button.
