DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS
The Safety and Restraint System (SRS) is designed to work with the safety belts to help
protect the driver and passenger from certain upper body injuries in a frontal or near-
frontal collision. It is important that occupants be properly restrained as far away from
the air bag module as possible while maintaining vehicle control. Move
your seat as far as you can to the rear while still reaching the
pedals comfortably, and recline the seatback slightly – one
or two degrees – from the upright position. A difficulty with the SRS
system is indicated by one or more of the following: the
readiness light will either flash or stay lit; the readiness
light will not illuminate immediately after the ignition
is turned to the ON position; or, a series of five
beeps will repeat periodically until the problem is
repaired. If any of these happen, even intermittently,
immediately have the SRS serviced at your dealership
or by a qualified technician. Passenger Front Air Bag
On/Off Switch: This switch allows you to deactivate the air
bag if the passenger is an infant or child, age 12 or under, or if the passenger has a medical condition that causes the air
bag to pose a special risk. For more information on passenger air bag deactivation, refer to the Seating and Safety
Restraints chapter of your Owner's Guide.
Move the lever at your steering wheel down for a single wipe. For intermittent operation, move the lever up one
position and adjust the rotary control to the desired speed. For normal operation, move the control up two positions.
For high speed operation, move the control up three positions. To mist the windshield, push and quickly release the
windshield washer control located at the end of the multi-function lever. To activate the windshield washer, push the
windshield washer control and release it when you want to stop the washer fluid spray. The wipers will provide three
wipes after the washer fluid is turned off.

HEADLAMP SWITCHES
LIGHTS Toggle Switch: Pull the LIGHTS toggle switch toward you to turn on the parking lamps. Push the switch
forward to turn on the vehicle's headlamps. To turn the headlamps and parking lamps off, put the switch in the
center position. FOG Toggle Switch: Push the FOG toggle switch forward to activate the foglamps. The foglamps
can only be turned on when the headlamp control is in the parking lamp or headlamp position. When the high
beams are activated, the foglamps will not operate. Pull the FOG toggle switch back to the center position to
deactivate the foglamps.
With the ignition in the ON position, push the REAR DEFROST toggle switch forward to activate and clear thin ice and
fog from the rear window. The rear defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes, or when the ignition is turned to
the OFF position. To manually turn the rear defroster off, push the switch forward again to deactivate.
Push the HAZARD toggle switch forward to activate the hazard flashers during a vehicle breakdown or other traffic
emergency. Pull the switch toward you to turn them off. The hazard flashers can be operated when the ignition is
OFF, but be careful not to leave them on too long because extended use could wear down your battery.
Insert your key into the ignition and turn it clockwise to position three, ON mode. Certain electrical circuits should be
operational and warning lights illuminated. Press the clutch pedal and, at the same time, press the red
S
TART ENGINE button on the instrument panel. Release the button as soon as the engine starts. Excessive cranking
could damage the starter. If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try, release the START ENGINE
button, turn the key counterclockwise to position one, OFF mode, wait 10 seconds, then try starting the engine again.
If the engine still fails to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try again. This will allow the engine to crank with
the fuel shut off in case it is flooded.
