MULTIFUNCTION LEVER
The multifunction lever controls the operation of the headlights, parking lights, turn
signals, headlight beam selection, instrument panel light dimming, interior lights,
the passing lights, and the fog lights. The multifunction lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
Headlights And Parking Lights

Turn the end of the lever to the second detent to turn on the headlights.
Automatic Headlights
Turning the end of the multifunction lever to the third detent (AUTO), will activate the
automatic headlight system.
With the engine running and the multifunction lever in the AUTO position, the
headlights will turn on and turn off based on the surrounding light levels.
Instrument Panel Dimming
Rotate the center portion of the lever to the extreme bottom position to fully dim the
instrument panel lights and prevent the interior lights from illuminating when a door
is opened.

panel lights when the parking lights or headlights are on.

Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunc-
tion lever toward you. This will turn on the high beam headlights until the lever is
released.
NOTE:
If the multifunction lever is held in the flash-to-pass position for more than 20
seconds, the high beams will shut off. If this occurs, wait 30 seconds for the next
flash-to-pass operation.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever away from you to switch the headlights to high beam.
Pull the multifunction lever toward you to switch the headlights back to low beam.
Fog Lights
The front fog light switch is on the multifunction lever. To activate the front fog lights,
turn on the parking lights or the low beam headlights and pull out the end of the
multifunction lever.
NOTE:
The fog lights will only operate with the headlights on low beam. Selecting high beam
headlights will turn off the fog lights.
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.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.
