Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be reduced by
moving the small control under the mirror to the night posi-
tion (toward the rear of the vehicle). The mirror should be
adjusted while the small control under the mirror is set in the
day position (toward the windshield).
Adjusting Rearview MirrorOutside Mirrors
To receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s) to
center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight overlap of
the view obtained on the inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in an outside convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on side convex mirrors
could cause you to collide with another vehicle or other
object. Use your inside mirror when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle seen in a side convex mirror.

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.

Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the steering
wheel to activate the washers. The wipers will activate auto-
matically for three cycles after the lever is released. Manual High Speed/Mist
Push the lever upward from the off position. The wipers will
operate at high speed to clear off road mist or spray from a
passing vehicle. This operation will continue until the lever
is released. When the lever is released, the wipers will return
to the off position and automatically shut off.
Rear Wiper Operation — If Equipped
Rear Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the windshield wiper lever center ring upwards to
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
• In intermittent mode when the front window wiper is not
operating
• In synchronous mode (at half the speed of the front window wiper) when the front window wiper is operating
• In continuous mode while vehicle is in REVERSE
With the windshield wipers on, and REVERSE gear engaged,
rear window wiping will be continuous in the same way.
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash. Damage to the windshield
wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and
the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the off posi -
tion. If the windshield wiper control is turned off and
the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to
the wiper motor may occur.

If the light continues to flash when the vehicle is running,
immediate service is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle, or engine
stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will
come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or
MAR/ON/RUN position and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light This warning light warns of an overheated engine
condition. If the engine coolant temperature is too
high, this indicator will illuminate and a single
chime will sound. If the temperature reaches the upper limit,
a continuous chime will sound for four minutes or until the
engine is able to cool, whichever comes first.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the
transmission into NEUTRAL (N) and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the
engine off immediately and call for service.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “In Case Of Emer -
gency” for further information. Oil Pressure Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate low
engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while
driving, stop the vehicle, shut off the engine as soon
as possible, and contact an authorized dealer. A chime will
sound when this light turns on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This
light does not indicate how much oil is in the engine. The
engine oil level must be checked under the hood.
Transmission Temperature Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to warn of a high
transmission fluid temperature. This may occur with
strenuous usage such as trailer towing. If this light
turns on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or
slightly faster, with the transmission in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N), until the light turns off. Once the light turns
off, you may continue to drive normally.
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.

Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Warning Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic System
called OBD II that monitors engine and automatic
transmission control systems. This warning light will illu -
minate when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position before
engine start. After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN
position, if there is a problem with the Sentry Key System,
the Vehicle Security Light will turn on. This condition will
result in the engine being shut off after two seconds. If the
bulb does not come on when turning the ignition switch
from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked
promptly.

NOTE:
This warning light will illuminate when the vehicle security
alarm system has detected an attempt to break into the
vehicle.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor
quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through
several typical driving styles. In most situations, the vehicle
will drive normally and will not require towing. When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert
serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of
power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle
should be serviced by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible if this occurs.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced
above, can reach higher temperatures than in normal
operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive
slowly or park over flammable substances such as dry
plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could result in death
or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) on could cause damage to the vehicle control
system. It also could affect fuel economy and
driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic
converter damage and power loss will soon occur.
Immediate service is required.3
