TURN SIGNALS
Move the multifunction lever up or
down and the arrows on each side of
the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear
turn signal lights.
NOTE: If either light remains on
and does not flash, or there is a
very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an
indicator fails to light when the
lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defective.
Turn Signal Warning
If the vehicle electronics sense that the
vehicle has traveled at over 30 km/h
for approximately 1.6 km with the
turn signals on, a chime will sound to
alert the driver. HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
When the headlights are turned on,
pushing the multifunction lever to-
ward the instrument panel will switch
from low beams to high beams. Pull-
ing back to the neutral position re-
turns the headlights to the low beam
operation.
FLASH-TO-PASS
You can signal another vehicle with
your headlights by lightly pulling the
multifunction lever toward you. This
will turn on the high beam headlights
until the lever is released.
SMARTBEAM™ (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The SmartBeam™ system provides
increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mir-
ror. This camera detects vehicle spe-
cific light and automatically switches
from high beams to low beams until
the approaching vehicle is out of view.
NOTE: Broken, muddy or ob-
structed headlights and taillights
of vehicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on lon-
ger (closer to the vehicle). Also,
dirt, film and other obstructions
on the windshield or camera lens
will cause the system to function
improperly.
To Activate
1. Select “Automatic High Beams —
ON” through the EVIC. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC)/Customer-Programmable
Features” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further informa-
tion.
2. Rotate the headlight switch coun-
terclockwise to the AUTO (A) posi-
tion.
3. Push the multifunction lever away
from you to switch the headlights to
the high beam position. Refer to
“Multifunction Lever” in this section
for further information.

WARNING!Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision.
You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden ic-
ing of the windshield during freezing
weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.MIST, FRONT WIPER AND
WASHER
Use the Mist feature when weather
conditions make occasional usage of
the wipers necessary.
Press the end of the multifunction le-
ver inward (toward the steering col-
umn) to the first detent and release for
a single wiping cycle. To use the
Washer, push on the end of the lever to
the second detent and hold while
spray is desired. If the lever is pushed
while on the intermittent setting, the
wipers will turn on and operate for
several wipe cycles after the lever is
released, and then resume the inter-
mittent interval previously selected. If
the lever is pushed while the wipersare in the off position, the wipers will
operate several wipe cycles, then turn
off.
INTERMITTENT, LOW AND
HIGH SPEED WIPERS
Rotate the end of the lever to one of
the first five detent positions for inter-
mittent wiper operation, the sixth de-
tent for low wiper operation and the
seventh detent for high wiper opera-
tion.
Use one of the five intermittent wiper
settings when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desir-
able. At driving speeds above
16 km/h, the delay can be regulated
from a maximum of approximately 18
second between cycles (first detent),
to a cycle every one second (fifth de-
tent).
NOTE: If the vehicle is moving
less than 16 km/h, delay times will
be doubled.
REAR WIPER AND
WASHER
Rotating the rotary ring to the first
detent activates the rear intermittent
wipers. To activate the washers, rotate
the rotary ring fully forward and the
washers will spray until the ring is
released, and then resume the inter-
mittent interval.
NOTE: Rear window wipers
function in the intermittent wiper
speed only.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through
the windshield could lead to a col-
lision. You might not see other ve-
hicles or other obstacles. To avoid
sudden icing of the windshield dur-
ing freezing weather, warm the
windshield with defroster before
and during windshield washer use.

TILT/TELESCOPING
STEERING COLUMN
This feature allows you to tilt the
steering column upward or down-
ward. It also allows you to lengthen or
shorten the steering column. The tilt/
telescoping lever is located below the
steering wheel at the end of the steer-
ing column.
To unlock the steering column, push
the lever downward (toward the

ward as desired. To lock the steering
column in position, push the lever up-
ward until fully engaged.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column
while driving. Adjusting the steer-
ing column while driving or driving
with the steering column unlocked,
could cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle. Failure to follow
this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The adjustable pedals system is de-
signed to allow a greater range of
driver comfort for steering wheel tilt
and seat position. This feature allows
the brake and accelerator pedals to
move toward or away from the driver
to provide improved position with the
steering wheel.
The switch is located on the left side of
the steering column. Press the switch forward to move the
pedals forward (toward the front of
the vehicle).
Press the switch rearward to move the
pedals rearward (toward the driver).
The pedals can be adjusted with the
ignition OFF.
The pedals cannotbe adjusted
when the vehicle is in REVERSE or
when the Electronic Speed Control
System is on. The following mes-
sages will be displayed on vehicles
equipped with the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information System (EVIC) if
the pedals are attempted to be ad-
justed when the system is locked

On vehicles equipped with atailgate, ParkSense® should be
disabled when the tailgate is in
the lowered or open position
and the vehicle is in REVERSE.
A lowered tailgate could provide
a false indication that an ob-
stacle is behind the vehicle.CAUTION!
ParkSense® is only a parking aidand it is unable to recognize every
obstacle, including small ob-
stacles. Parking curbs might be
temporarily detected or not de-
tected at all. Obstacles located
above or below the sensors will
not be detected when they are in
close proximity.
The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense® in order
to be able to stop in time when an
obstacle is detected. It is recom-
mended that the driver looks over
his/her shoulder when using
ParkSense®.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful whenbacking up even when using the
Rear Park Assist system. Always
check carefully behind your ve-
hicle, look behind you, and be
sure to check for pedestrians, ani-
mals, other vehicles, obstruc-
tions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible
for safety and must continue to
pay attention to your surround-
ings. Failure to do so can result in
serious injury or death.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Before using the Rear Park Assist system, it is strongly recom-
mended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is discon-
nected from the vehicle when the
vehicle is not used for towing.
Failure to do so can result in in-
jury or damage to vehicles or ob-
stacles because the hitch ball will
be much closer to the obstacle
than the rear fascia when the
loudspeaker sounds the continu-
ous tone. Also, the sensors could
detect the ball mount and hitch
ball assembly, depending on its
size and shape, giving a false in-
dication that an obstacle is be-
hind the vehicle.
