Turn Signals
Headlight Beams Low/High
Flash-To-Pass (Optical Horn)
Front and Rear Wipers — Washer
Functions
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

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.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Automatic High Beam system
provides increased forward lighting at
night by automating high beam con-
trol through the use of a digital cam-
era 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.
NOTE: Broken, muddy or ob-
structed headlights and taillights
of vehicles in the field of view willcause 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.
NOTE: This system will not acti-
vate until the vehicle is at, or
above, 40 km/h.
HEADLIGHT LEVELING
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)
Your vehicle may be
equipped with a headlight
leveling system. This sys-
tem allows the driver to
maintain proper headlight beam posi-
tion with the road surface regardless
of vehicle load. The control switch is
located on the instrument panel next
to the dimmer control.
To operate, rotate the control switch
until the appropriate number, which
corresponds to the load listed on the
chart, aligns with the indicator line on
the switch.
0 Driver only, or driver and
front passenger.
1 Driver, plus an evenly distrib-
uted load in the luggage com- partment. The total weight of the driver and load does not exceed the maximum load capacity of the vehicle.
132
CAUTION!
Check deployed crossbars fre-quently and retighten thumb
screws as necessary.
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the
maximum roof rack load capacity
of 68 kg. Always distribute heavy
loads as evenly as possible and
secure the load appropriately.
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT carry any
loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
The load should be secured andplaced on top of the crossbars, not
directly on the roof. If it is neces-
sary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protec-
tive layer between the load and
the roof surface.
Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels
or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to
both the front and rear of the
vehicle.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying
large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic,
can add sudden upward lift to a
load. This is especially true on
large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your ve-
hicle.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before
driving your vehicle. Improperly
secured loads can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, result-
ing in personal injury or property
damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your
roof rack.
HEADLIGHT WASHER
(for versions/markets,

To use the headlight washers, push
the multifunction lever inward (to-
ward the steering column) to the sec-
ond detent and release it. The head-
light washers will spray a timed high-
pressure spray of washer fluid onto
each headlight lens. In addition, the
Rail Tie Loops
163
