Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights are left on
after the ignition is placed in the OFF position, a chime will
sound when the driver’s door is opened.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped
To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking lights or
low beam headlights and push in the center of the headlight
switch control knob. Pushing the headlight switch control
knob a second time will turn the front fog lights off.Front Fog Light Switch If the fog lights are off, one of the fog lights will illuminate
depending on the direction in which the vehicle is turning.
This will provide increased visibility while turning,
depending on the angle of the steering wheel.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on
each side of the instrument cluster display will 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 — If Equipped
Tap the multifunction 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.
