Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
GTurn and Lane Change Signals
23Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Flash-to-Pass Feature
NWindshield Wipers
JWindshield Washer
ICruise Control

Move the lever all the way up or down to signal a turn.
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 starting position when it is
released.
If after signaling a turn or lane change the arrows ash
rapidly or do not come on, a signal bulb could be
burned out.
Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out,
check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-113.

To wash the rear window, press=located in the
center of the control.
The rear window washer uses the uid from the same
reservoir as the windshield washer. However, the
rear window washer runs out of uid before the
windshield washer. If the windshield can be washed,
but not the rear window, check the uid level.
Headlamp Washer
For vehicles with a
headlamp washer system,
the headlamp washer
button is located on the
instrument panel.
Press the button briey and then release to wash the
headlamps.
This system is separate from the other washer systems.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more can be maintained without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work
at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
If you apply the brakes, the cruise control shuts off.
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot
drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use the
cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads.
On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.

Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then
the brake is applied, this shuts off the cruise control.
But it does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle is going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, move the cruise control switch briey from
RtoS.
The vehicle returns to the previously chosen speed
and stays there.
If the switch is held on resume/accelerate, the vehicle
keeps going faster until the switch is released or
the brakes are applied. So unless you want the vehicle
to go faster, do not hold the switch at resume/accelerate.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the desired
speed. Press
Tat the end of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle will now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch fromRtoS. Hold it there until
the vehicle reaches the desired speed and then
release the switch. To increase the vehicle speed in
small amounts, move the switch briey to resume/
accelerate. Each time this is done, the vehicle goes
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
PressTat the end of the lever until the desired
speed is reached, then release it. Each time this is done,
the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle speed, load and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may want to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. When the brakes are
applied the cruise control will disengage.
