TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
Manual Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
The tilt/telescoping control handle is located below the steering wheel at the end of
the steering column.
• Push the handle down to unlock the
steering column.
• To tilt the steering column, move the
steering wheel upward or downward as
desired.
• To lengthen or shorten the steering
column, pull the steering wheel out-
ward or push it inward as desired.
• Pull up on the handle to lock the
column firmly in place.
Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column
The power tilt/telescoping steering control is located below the turn signal/wiper/
washer/high beam lever on the steering column.
• To tilt the steering column, move the
power tilt/telescoping control up or
down as desired.
• To lengthen or shorten the steering
column, pull the control toward you
or push the control away from you as
desired.
WARNING!
• Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt/telescoping adjustment
must be locked while driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or
driving without the tilt/telescoping adjustment locked could cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in you and
others being severely injured or killed.
• Moving the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Without
a stable steering column, you could lose control of the vehicle and have a
collision. Adjust the column only while the vehicle is stopped.
GETTING STARTED
27
100 to 300 miles (161 to 483 km):
• Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not more than halfway to avoid rapid
acceleration in lower gears (1st to 3rd gears).
• Avoid aggressive braking.
• Drive with the engine speed less than 5,000 RPM.
• Maintain vehicle speed below 70 mph (112 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):
• Exercise the full engine rpm range, shifting manually (paddles or gear shift) at
higher rpms when possible.
• Do not perform sustained operation with the accelerator pedal at wide open
throttle.
• Maintain vehicle speed below 85 mph (136 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
For the first 1500 mi (2414 km):
• Do not participate in track events, sport driving schools, or similar activities during
the first 1500 mi (2414 km).
NOTE:
Check engine oil with every refueling and add if necessary. Oil and fuel consumption
may be higher through the first oil change interval.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Automatic Headlights/Parking
Lights/Headlights
• Rotate the headlight switch, located
on the instrument panel to the left of
the steering wheel, to the first detent
for parking lights
and to the
second detent for headlights
.
• With the parking lights or low beam
headlights on, push the headlight
switch once for fog lights.
• Rotate the headlight switch to “A” for
AUTO headlights.
When set to “A” (AUTO), the system
automatically turns the headlights on or
off based on ambient light levels.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
29
Automatic High Beams
The Automatic High Beams system provides increased forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted on the
inside rearview mirror. This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically
switches from high beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of view.
This feature is programmable through the Uconnect
®system. Refer to “Uconnect®
Settings ” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the
DVD for further details.
Instrument Panel Dimmer
• Rotate the dimmer control to the extreme bottom position to fully dim the
instrument panel lights and prevent the interior lights from illuminating when a
door is opened.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to increase the brightness of the instrument panel
when the parking lights or headlights are on.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to the next detent position to fully brighten the
odometer and radio when the parking lights or headlights are on.
• Rotate the dimmer control up to the last detent position to turn on the interior
lighting.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen, the dimming is programmable
through the Uconnect
®system. Refer to “Uconnect®Settings ” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER/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 and automatically turn off.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
30
High Beam Operation
• Push the lever forward to activate the high beams. Pull the lever toward you for
flash to pass.
NOTE:
For safe driving, turn off high beams when oncoming traffic is present to prevent
headlight glare and as a courtesy to other motorists.
Front Wipers
Intermittent, Low And High Operation
• Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent position for one of four intermittent
settings, the second detent for low wiper operation and the third detent for high
wiper operation.
Washer Operation
• Push inward on the end of the lever and hold for as long as spray is desired.
Mist
• Rotate the end of the lever downward when a single wipe is desired.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be activated in order to spray
the windshield with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers
This feature senses moisture on the vehicles windshield and automatically activates
the wipers for the driver when the switch is in the intermittent position.
• Rotate the end of the lever to one of four settings to activate this feature and
adjust sensitivity.
This feature can be activated/deactivated using the Uconnect
®system screen. Refer
to the “Programmable Features” under the “Electronics” section in this guide.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
Rear Wiper
Rear Wiper Operation
• Rotate the center portion of the lever forward to the first detent for intermittent
operation and to the second detent for rear wiper operation.
Rear Washer Operation
• Rotate the center portion of the lever past the second detent to activate the rear
washer.

WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant.
- Transmission Temperature Warning Light
This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might
occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, stop the vehicle
and run the engine at idle, with the transmission in NEUTRAL, until the light turns
off. Once the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature Warning Light illuminated
will eventually cause severe transmission damage or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the Transmission Temperature Warning
Light is illuminated you could cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot
engine or exhaust components and cause a fire.
- High Beam Indicator
Indicates that headlights are on high beam.
- Front Fog Light Indicator
This indicator will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.
- Turn Signal Indicator
The arrows will flash with the exterior turn signals when the turn signal lever is
operated. A tone will chime, and an EVIC message will appear if either turn signal is
left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:
If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb.
- Vehicle Security Light
This light will flash rapidly for approximately 15 seconds when the vehicle theft
alarm is arming. The light will flash at a slower speed continuously after the alarm is
set. The security light will also come on for about three seconds when the ignition is
first turned on.
