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, pull down the lever. Then move
the wheel to a comfortable position, pull up
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 112.
23Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 112.
Flash-to-Pass. SeeFlash-to-Pass on page 113.
OExterior Lamp Control. SeeHeadlamps on
page 118.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to 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 will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will ash 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 will return
by itself when you release it.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash rapidly, a signal bulb may 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 326.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high
beam, push the turn signal lever away from you.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low
beam, pull the turn signal lever toward you.

Security Light
This light ashes when
the vehicle security
system is activated.
Reduced Engine Power Light
(2.4L Engine Only)
This light will come on
briey when the ignition
is turned on.
If this light is on, a chime will sound and a
noticeable reduction in the vehicle’s
performance may occur.Let the vehicle idle for a few minutes, if the
reduced engine power light is still on, but there is
no reduction in performance, proceed to your
destination. The performance may be reduced the
next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle may
be driven at a reduced speed while the reduced
engine power light is on, but acceleration and
speed may be reduced.
Anytime the reduced engine power light stays on,
the vehicle should be taken to an authorized
dealer as soon as possible for service.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
when the high-beam
headlamps are in use.

page 112.
