When exiting the vehicle the driver can choose

to have the headlights remain on for 30, 60 or

90 seconds or not remain on. To change the

timer setting, see an authorized dealer.
The headlight delay time is programmable on

vehicles equipped with an instrument cluster

display. Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in

“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for

further information.
If the headlights are turned off before the

ignition, they will turn off in the normal manner.

NOTE:

The headlights must be turned off within 45

seconds of placing the ignition in the OFF

position to activate this feature.

Lights-On Reminder

If the headlights or the parking lights are left on,

or if the dimmer control is in the extreme top

position after the ignition has been 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 the low beam headlights and

push in the headlight switch control knob.

Pushing the headlight switch control knob a

second time will turn the front fog lights off.

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.

Turn Signal Warning
If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle

has traveled at over 18 mph (29 km/h) for

about 1 mile (1.6 km) with the turn signals on, a

chime will sound to alert the driver.

time when the ignition is in the OFF position.

After eight minutes of the ignition being placed

in the OFF position, and the headlight switch in

any position other than OFF or AUTO, the lights

will turn off automatically until the next cycle of

the ignition or headlight switch.
The battery protection feature will be disabled if

the ignition is placed in any position other than

OFF during the eight minute delay.

Dimmer Controls

The dimmer switch is located next to the

headlight switch.

Instrument Panel Dimmer Control

With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating

the left dimmer control upward will increase the

brightness of the instrument panel lights.
Rotating the left dimmer control completely

upward to the second detent (extreme top

position) will turn on the interior lights. The

Rotating the left dimmer control to the off

position (extreme bottom) will turn the interior

lights off, and will remain off when the doors or

liftgate are opened.

Parade Mode (Daytime Brightness Feature)

Rotate the dimmer control upward to the first

detent. This feature brightens all text displays

such as the odometer, instrument cluster

display, and radio when the parking lights or

headlights are on.

WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERS

The wipers and washers are operated by a

switch within the multifunction lever. Rotate the

end of the multifunction lever to select the

desired wiper speed.

Washer And Wiper Controls

NOTE:

Always remove any buildup of snow that

prevents the windshield wiper blades from

returning to the off position. If the windshield

wiper switch is turned off and the blades cannot

return to the off position, damage to the wiper

motor may occur.

Windshield Wiper Operation

Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first

detent past the intermittent settings for

low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of

the lever upward to the second detent past the

intermittent settings for high-speed wiper

operation.

WARNING!

Sudden loss of visibility through the

windshield could lead to a collision. You might

not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To

avoid sudden icing of the windshield during

freezing weather, warm the windshield with

the defroster before and during windshield

washer use.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Intermittent Wiper System

Use the intermittent wiper when weather

conditions make a single wiping cycle with a

variable pause between cycles desirable.

Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to the

first detent position, and then turn the end of

the lever to select the desired delay interval.

There are five delay settings, which allow you to

regulate the wipe interval from a minimum of

one cycle every second to a maximum of

approximately 36 seconds between cycles. The

delay intervals will double in duration when the

vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

Windshield Washers

To use the windshield washer, push on the end

of the lever to the second detent and hold while

spray is desired. If the lever is pushed while on

the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn on

and operate for several wipe cycles after the

lever is released, and then resume the

intermittent interval previously selected. If the

lever is pushed while the wipers are in the off

position, the wipers will operate several wipe

cycles, then turn off.

Mist Feature

Push the end of the multifunction lever inward

(toward the steering column) to the first detent

and release for a single wiping cycle.

NOTE:

The mist feature does not activate the washer

pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed

on the windshield. The wash function must be

used in order to spray the windshield with

washer fluid.

Rear Wiper And Washer

Rotating the center ring of the wiper lever to the

first detent activates the rear intermittent

wipers. To activate the washers, rotate the

center ring fully forward and the washers will

spray until the ring is released, and then

resume the intermittent interval.

NOTE:

Rear window wipers function in the intermittent

wiper speed only.
