TILT STEERING
The tilt lever is located on the steering column, below the turn signal lever.
•Push down on the lever to unlock the
steering column.
•With one hand firmly on the steering
wheel, move the steering column up or
down as desired.
•Pull upward on the lever to lock the
column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving.Adjusting the steering column while
driving or driving with the steering column unlocked could cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle.Be sure the steering column is locked before driving your vehicle.
Failure to follow this warning may result in severe injury or death.

ECO
•The Driver Behavior Gauge will move into the ECO range when you are maximizing
the driving range of the high voltage battery.
Charge
•The Driver Behavior Gauge will move into the Charge range when battery regenera-
tion is active (either coasting or braking).
TURN SIGNAL/LIGHTS/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signal/Lane Change Assist
•Tap the lever up or down once and the
turn signal (right or left) will flash three
times to indicate a lane change and auto-
matically turn off.
Headlights/Parking Lights
•Rotate the end of the lever to the first
detent for parking lights and headlight
operation.
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be in the ON/RUN
position for the headlights to operate.
High Beams
•Push the lever forward to activate the high beams.
•A high beam symbol will illuminate in the cluster to indicate the high beams are on.
NOTE:
For safe driving, turn off the high beams when oncoming traffic is present to prevent
headlight glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
Flash To Pass
•Pull the lever toward you to activate the high beams.The high beams will remain on
until the lever is released.

Headlight Delay (Follow Me Home)
•Within two minutes of the ignition switch being turned to the OFF/LOCK position or
the ignition key being removed from the ignition, pull the turn signal lever toward the
steering wheel.
•Each movement of the lever toward the steering wheel will increase the illumination
period by 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds.
•To deactivate, pull the multifunction lever toward the steering wheel and hold it for
more than two seconds.
NOTE:
Activation of Follow Me Home is only enabled once per key cycle and the steps outlined
above must be repeated each time you want to activate it.
Fog Lights
•Push the fog light switch, located on the climate controls, once to turn on the fog
lights.
•Push the switch a second time to turn the fog lights off.

•IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
•Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
•Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated.This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists.
•When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS pres-
sures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage.Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
•All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be
cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
•To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use a wheel cleaner or equivalent
or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes.Do not use
oven cleaner.These products may damage the wheel's protective finish.Avoid automatic
car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel's pro-
tective finish.
