Turn and Lane-Change Signals
(Auto Signal)
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 multifunction 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, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Release the lever and the
turn signal will automatically ash three times. If more
ashes are desired, continue to hold the lever.
If you signal a turn or a lane change and the arrows ash
faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out.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 fuses and check for burned-out
bulbs. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-100.
Turn Signal on Chime
A chime will remind you if you leave the turn signal on
for more than three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) of
driving.
If you need to leave the turn signal on for more than
three-quarters of a 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,
push the turn signal lever all the way forward. To change
from high to low beam, pull the lever rearward.
While the high beams are
on, this light on the
instrument panel cluster
will also be lit.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you might want to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s
speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed
down. Of course, applying the brake turns off the cruise
control. Many drivers nd this to be too much trouble
and do not use cruise control on steep hills.
Cruise Control in Sport (S) and Manual
Paddle Shift Gear Selection
When your vehicle is in Sport (S) and the manual
paddle shift controls are not being used, cruise control
operates in the same manner as Drive (D).
When your vehicle is in Sport (S) and the manual
paddle shift controls are being used, cruise control
operates as follows:
If cruise control is active and a gear is selected
with the manual paddle shift controls, the vehicle
maintains vehicle speed in the driver selected gear
and will not automatically up-shift or down-shift
the transmission while the driver’s gear selection
is active.
If driving in hilly terrain, cruise control may not
be able to maintain vehicle speed if an up-shift
or down-shift is not selected by the driver.
While driving on hilly terrain and cruise control is
active with a manual paddle shift gear selection,
the driver must select the proper gear for the terrain
or select Drive (D) on the gear range selector for
full automatic transmission operation.
Ending Cruise Control
To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the
brake pedal. If your vehicle has a manual transmission,
lightly tapping the clutch will also end a cruise control
session.
Move the cruise control switch to off to turn the system
completely off.
When cruise control is disengaged, the CRUISE
DISENGAGED message displays on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-57.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
the cruise control set speed memory is erased.
