when shifted into any position other than PARK

of the vehicle as the active turn signal, will
turn off automatically when a turn signal is in
operation and turn on again when the turn
signal is not operating.

strument panel to switch the headlights to
high beams. Pulling the multifunction lever
back toward the steering wheel will return the
lights to low beams.

tion lever toward you. This will cause the high
beam headlights to turn on, and remain on,
until the lever is released.

lights on or off according to ambient light
levels. To turn the system on, turn the end of
the multifunction lever to the AUTO position

90 seconds after you turn the ignition switch

System off, turn the end of the multifunction
lever out of the AUTO position.

multifunction lever. To activate the front fog
lights, turn on the parking or low beam head-
lights and pull out the end of the lever.NOTE:

ing lights or the headlights on low beam.
Selecting high beam headlights will turn off
the fog lights.

sired, when visibility is poor due to fog. To
activate the rear fog lights, turn on the low
beam, high beam, or front fog lamps, pull out
the end of the multifunction lever and rotate
the lever to the last detent.

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.

on for more than 1 mile (2 km).

ing beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then
automatically turn off.

lights are left on after the ignition is turned
OFF, a chime will sound when the driver’s
door is opened.
