Windshield Wipers
To turn on the wipers, press the wiper control lever down
one level for intermittent, two levels for low, or three levels for
high speed. Return the lever to the “OFF” position to stop
the wipers. For a single wipe, move the lever up. To spray

Daytime Running Lights
Daytime running lights are standard on your vehicle. Only a
reduced brightness high beam will be automatically turned
on when the engine has started and the parking brake is
fully released and the light switch is in the “OFF” or “
”
position. The brightness of the illumination of the high beam
headlights is reduced by the daytime running light system.
You must always switch on your headlights when it’s dark
outside by turning the light switch to the

Automatic Transmission
Shift Mode
The 5-Speed automatic transmission or the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) gives
you ultimate control with two different driving
modes: Normal Mode and Manual Mode.
Normal Mode
When the selector lever is in the “D” (Drive)
position, the transmission is in Normal
shift mode. The shift position indicator on
the instrument panel shows “D” and the
transmission automatically shifts into a
suitable forward gear.
Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, you select the desired gear
position to obtain necessary acceleration and engine braking. Moving the selector
lever left into the manual gate
1 from “D”
(Drive) position causes the transmission
to change into Manual Mode. To shift, use
the paddle shift control switches. The shift
position indicator shows the selected
gear position.
