Automatic Headlights — If Equipped
This system automatically turns the headlights ON or OFF according to ambient light levels. To turn the system ON, rotate the headlight switch counter-clockwise to the AUTO (A) position. When the system is ON, the Headlight Time Delay feature is also ON. This means the headlights will stay ON for up to 90 seconds after you turn the ignition switch OFF. To turn the Automatic System OFF, move the headlight switch out of the AUTO (A) position.
Headlight Swich
NOTE: The engine must be running before the headlights will come ON in the Automatic mode.
Headlights On with Wipers (Available with Auto Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on approximately 10 seconds after the wipers are turned on if the headlight switch is placed in the AUTO position. In addition, the headlights will turn off when the wipers are turned off if they were turned on by this feature.
The Headlights On with Wipers feature can be turned on or off through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — if equipped. For details, refer to ”Headlights On with Wipers,” under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features),” under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center” in Section 4 of this manual.
Headlight Time Delay
This feature provides the safety of headlight illumination for 90 seconds (programmable) when leaving your vehicle in an unlighted area.
To activate the delay feature, turn off the ignition switch while the headlights are still on. Then, turn off the headlights within 45 seconds. The delay interval begins when headlight switch is turned off.
If you turn the headlights, park lights, or ignition switch on again, the system will cancel the delay
If you turn the headlights off before the ignition, they will turn off in the normal manner.
NOTE: The lights must be turned off within 45 seconds of turning the ignition off to activate this feature.
The Headlight delay time is programmable on vehicles equipped with the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). For details, refer to “Delay Turning Headlights Off,” under “Personal Settings (Customer Programmable Features),” under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual.
Daytime Running Lights — If Equipped
The high beam headlights will come on as Daytime Running Lights, whenever the ignition switch is on, the headlights are off, and the parking brake is off. The headlight switch must be used for normal nighttime driving
Lights-on Reminder
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition is turned OFF, a chime will sound to alert the driver when the driver’s door is opened.
Fog Lights — If Equipped
The front fog light switch is on the headlight switch below the dimmer control. To activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking lights or the low beam headlights and press the fog light switch.
An indicator light in the instrument cluster illuminates when the fog lights are turned on.
NOTE: The fog lights will operate with the low beam headlights, or parking lights on. However, selecting the high beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.
Multi-Function Lever
The multi-function lever controls the operation of the turn signals, headlight beam selection, and passing lights. The lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Multi-Function Lever
Turn Signals
Move the Multi-Function Lever up or down and the corresponding turn signal indicator in the instrument cluster flashes to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights. You can also signal a lane change by moving the lever partially up or down without moving beyond the detent. Releasing the lever at the detent will provide 3 flashes.
If either indicator has a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is moved, see your authorized dealer for service.
NOTE: A “Turn Signal On” message will appear in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — if equipped and a continuous chime will sound if the vehicle is driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km) with either turn signal on.

Push the Multi-Function Lever away from you to switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the Lever towards you to switch the headlights back to LOW beam.

You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the Multi-Function Lever toward you. This will cause the headlights to turn on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.

Interior Lights
The interior lights come on when a door is opened.
To protect the battery, the interior lights will turn off automatically 10 minutes after the ignition switch is moved to the LOCK position.

To restore interior light operation, either turn the ignition switch ON or cycle the light switch.
Dimmer Control
