For information on the headlamps, seeExterior Lamps

Information for these features is on the pages following.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will flash 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 completed. If the lever is briefly pressed
and released, the turn signal flashes three times.
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 might be
burned out.
Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb is not burned out,
check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 6-96

Turn Signal On ChimeIf either one of the turn signals are left on and the
vehicle has been driven more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km),
a chime will sound.Headlamp High/Low-Beam ChangerTo change the headlamps from low beam to high
beam, push the turn signal/multifunction lever away
from you.
This instrument panel cluster light
3
comes on if the
high beam lamps are turned on while the ignition is
in ON/RUN.
To change the headlamps from high beam to low beam,
pull the turn signal lever toward you.
Flash-to-PassThis feature is used to signal to the vehicle ahead that
you want to pass.
If the headlamps are off or in the low-beam position,
pull the turn signal lever toward you to momentarily
switch to high-beams.
Release the lever to turn the high-beam headlamps off.

Highbeam On Light
This light comes on when
the high-beam headlamps
are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 4-5
for more information.
Fuel GageWhen the ignition is on, the fuel gage indicates about
how much fuel is left in the fuel tank.An arrow on the fuel gage indicates the side of the
vehicle the fuel door is on.
Here are four things that some owners ask about.
None of these show a problem with the fuel gage:
•
At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads full.
•
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the fuel tank’s capacity
to fill the tank.
•
The gage moves a little when while turning a corner
or speeding up.
•
The gage does not go back to empty when the
ignition is turned off.

Using the Auxiliary Input JackThe radio system has an auxiliary input jack located on
the lower right side of the faceplate. This is not an audio
output; do not plug the headphone set into the front
auxiliary input jack. However, an external audio device
such as an iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player, CD
changer, or cassette tape player, etc. can be connected
to the auxiliary input jack for use as another source for
audio listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up any auxiliary device
while the vehicle is in P (Park). SeeDefensive
Driving on page 5-2for more information on driver
distraction.
To use a portable audio player, connect a 3.5 mm
(1/8 in) cable to the radio’s front auxiliary input jack.
While a device is connected, press the radio CD/AUX
button to begin playing audio from the device over
the vehicle speakers.O
(Power/Volume):Turn to increase or decrease
the volume of the portable player. Additional volume
adjustments might need to be made from the portable
device.BAND:Press to listen to the radio while a portable
audio device is playing. The portable audio device
continues playing until it is stopped or turned off.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press to play a CD while a
portable audio device is playing. Press again and
the system begins playing audio from the connected
portable audio player. If a portable audio player is
not connected, No Aux Input Device Found may display.
Using an MP3MP3 CD-R or CD-RW DiscThe radio may have MP3 capability. With this feature,
the radio plays MP3 files that were recorded on a CD-R
or CD-RW disc. Song title, artist name, and album
can display when files are recorded using ID3 tags
version 1 and 2.Compressed AudioThe radio also plays discs that contain both
uncompressed CD audio (.CDA files) and MP3 files.
By default the radio reads only the uncompressed audio
and ignore the MP3 files. Pressing the CAT button
toggles between compressed and uncompressed audio
format.
