Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever located on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
G:Turn and Lane-Change Signals
23:Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
8:Windshield Wipers
L:Windshield Washer
J:Cruise Control (If Equipped)
Information for these features is on the pages following.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster flashes in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash
to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane
change is complete.
The lever returns to its starting position whenever it is
released.
If after signaling a turn or lane change the arrow flashes
rapidly or does not come on, a signal bulb may be
burned out. Check the turn signal flasher and circuit
breaker. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-96.
Check for burned out bulbs that may need replacing.

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high beam or
high to low 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
will also be on.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wipers are
controlled by turning the
band with the wiper symbol
on it.
9(Off):Turns off the windshield wipers.
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until
the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop
after one cycle. If more wipes are needed, hold the
band on mist longer.
The wiper speed can be set for long or short delays
between wipes. Turn the band to select the delay time.
The farther the band is turned upward or downward,
the longer or shorter the delay.
3-8

Exterior Lamps
The control located to the left of the steering column
operates the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp control has three positions:
OFF:Turns off all lamps except the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL).
;(Parking Lamps):Turns on the parking lamps,
together with the following:
•Marker Lamps
•Taillamps
•License Plate Lamps
•Instrument Panel Lights
O(Headlamps):Turns on the headlamps, together
with the previously listed lamps and lights.
Change the headlamps from low to high beam by
pulling the turn signal/multifunction lever toward you.
Pull the lever toward you again to return to low beam.
A circuit breaker protects the headlamps. If there is
an electrical overload, the headlamps will flicker on and
off. Have the headlamp wiring checked right away if
this ever happens.
Headlamps on Reminder
For vehicles with this system, a tone will sound when
the headlamps and/or parking lamps are turned on and
the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or ACC/ACCESSORY.

Reduced Engine Power Light
If the check engine and
reduced engine power
lights are on, the electronic
throttle control may be
disabled.
A noticeable change in the vehicle’s performance may
also occur.
If the reduced engine power light is on, but there is no
change 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
slower speed while the reduced engine power light is on,
but acceleration and speed may be limited.
Anytime the check engine light stays on, the vehicle
should be taken to an authorized dealer/retailer as soon
as possible for service.

This light comes on when
the high-beam headlamps
are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8
for more information.

Indicator Light
This light turns on
whenever the Daytime
Running Lamps are on.
SeeDaytime Running Lamps (DRL) on page 3-15for
