Passing Light
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multifunction control lever toward the
steering wheel. This will cause the headlights to turn on
at high beam and remain on until the control lever is
released.
Windshield Wipers And Washer
The wipers and washer are operated by a switch in the
multifunction control lever. Turn the end of the lever to
select desired wiper speed: off, intermittent, normal, or
fast.
NOTE:Wiper speed is altered when the vehicle is
stopped with the wipers on. If the speed setting is
intermittent, the wipers will stop wiping when the ve-
hicle comes to a complete stop. If the wiper speed setting
is normal, the wipers will change to intermittent wiping
when the vehicle comes to a complete stop.

5. Fuel Gauge
When the ignition is in the ON/RUN position, the
pointer will show the level of fuel remaining in the tank.
The arrow to the right of the gas pump symbol shows
which side of the vehicle the fuel filler door is located on.
6. Turn Signal Indicators
To signal minor directional changes, such as
changing lanes, move the multifunction control
lever to the point of resistance only and hold it
there. The arrows will flash in unison with the
corresponding exterior turn signal.
To operate the turn signals continuously, move the mul-
tifunction control lever past the point of resistance up or
down. The switch is automatically canceled when the
steering wheel is turned to a large enough degree.
The arrows in the instrument cluster will flash in unison
with the respective exterior turn signal.7. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light
The yellow ESP indicator light in the speedometer
dial comes on with the key in the ignition switch
turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out
with the engine running.
If the ESP indicator light flashes during acceleration,
apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up
on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions, and do not switch off the ESP.
8. Speedometer
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in miles-per-
hour and/or kilometers-per-hour.
9. Tachometer
This gauge shows engine speed in revolutions-per-
minute (RPM) times 1,000.

There are two symbols which will appear in the
main odometer display field prior to the next
suggested service. This symbol represents Ser-
vice A.
This second symbol represents Service B.
Depending on operating conditions through-
out the year, the next service is calculated and
displayed next to this symbol in days remain-
ing before the next service is required.
Likewise, the next service may be calculated
and displayed next to this symbol as distance
remaining before the next service is required.
The counter can also be reset by any individual after the
indicated service has been performed. To do so:
1. Turn key to the ON/RUN position.2. Within one second press the knob/button twice.
3. The present status for days or distance is displayed.
Within 10 seconds turn the key to OFF/LOCK.
4. Press and hold the knob/button, while turning the
key to ON/RUN again. The present status for days or
distance is displayed once more. Continue to hold the
knob/button.
After approximately 10 seconds, a signal sounds and
the display shows 7,000 mi (Canada: 11 000 km) for
approximately 10 seconds.
5. Release the knob/button.
If the FSS counter was inadvertently reset, have an
authorized dealer correct it.
The message is displayed for approximately 10 seconds
when turning the key to the ON/RUN position, or while

driving when reaching the service warning threshold. It
can be canceled manually by pressing the knob/button.
Once the suggested term has passed, the message plus
either the symbol for Service A or the symbol for Service
B preceded by a ± (minus symbol) blinks for approxi-
mately 30 seconds and a signal sounds every time when
turning the key to the ON/RUN position.
The FSS display can also be called up for approximately
10 seconds with the display illuminated by pressing the
knob/button twice within one second.
Following a completed A or B service your authorized
dealer sets the counter to 7,000 mi (Canada: 11 000 km).
NOTE:When disconnecting vehicle battery for one or
more days at a time, such days will not be counted. Any
such days not counted by FSS can be added by your
authorized dealer.The interval between services is determined by the type
of vehicle operation. Driving at extreme speeds, and cold
starts combined with short distance driving in which the
engine does not reach normal operating temperature,
reduce the interval between services.
However you choose to set your reference numbers, the
scheduled services as posted in the Service Booklet must
be followed to properly care for your vehicle.
23. Outside Temperature Display
The temperature display is located on the left side of the
instrument cluster, below the fuel and engine tempera-
ture gauges.
The sensor for the outside temperature indicator is
located in the front fascia area. Due to its location, the
sensor can be affected by road or engine heat during
idling or slow driving. This means that the accuracy of
