Headlamp and Panel Dimmer Control
Rotate the
control clockwise
to the first position
to turn on the
parking lamps.
Rotate to the second position to also turn on
the headlamps. Rotate counterclockwise to
activate autolamp (if equipped), which
provides light-sensitive automatic on-off
control of the exterior lights.
When the control is in any position except
high beams or off, pull the control toward
you to activate the foglamps (if equipped).
Use the instrument panel dimmer control,

to adjust the brightness of the instrument
panel during headlamp and parking
lamp operation.
Turn Signal and Wiper/Washer Control
For front wiper operation, rotate the
ring on the left to the desired interval,
low- or high-speed position. In the
intermittent position, rotate the control
up for fast or down for slow intervals. In
addition, the speed-sensitive front wipers
automatically adjust as the vehicle’s
speed changes if the control is set for
intermittent operation. Push the end
of the lever briefly for a single wipe
(no wash). Push and hold for three
swipes with wash. The ring on the right
operates the rear window wiper. Rotate
the control to the normal speed (INT 2),
or intermittent (INT 1).
ABS Warning Lamp
Your anti-lock braking system (ABS)
detects the onset of wheel lockup
during brake applications and helps
prevent wheels from locking during
extreme braking situations. The ABS
warning light will illuminate when you start

the flashers off. The hazard flashers will
operate in any ignition position.
Service Engine Soon Lamp
Illuminates briefly to ensure the
system is functional. If it illumi-
nates while driving, it can mean
that one of the engine’s emission
systems has failed or that your fuel
cap is not properly installed.
A loose fuel cap can cause the “Check Fuel
Cap” lamp to illuminate or create a “Check Fuel
Cap” warning message in the optional message
center. These warnings reset after the cap is
tightened and your vehicle is driven a short
distance. To prevent activation of these
systems, always secure your fuel cap by turning
it clockwise 1/8 of a turn until it stops.
Gearshift/Overdrive Control
Overdrive is the normal drive position for the
best fuel economy. Only deactivate overdrive
(O/D OFF) when driving with a heavy load,
towing a trailer up or down steep hills, or
when additional engine braking is desired.
To deactivate, press the switch located on
the end of the gearshift lever. When the
battery is disconnected or a new battery is
installed, the engine must relearn its idle and
