A - Front and rear foglights

The switch has two settings:
1 Front foglights ON.
2 Front and rear foglights ON.
When both front and rear foglights are turned on both indicators will light.
The rear foglight is considerably brighter than the normal tail light and should be used only when the atmospheric conditions, such as fog, rain, snow, smoke or dust reduce the daytime or nighttime visibility of other vehicles to less than 500 ft (150 meters).
The lowbeam headlights must be switched on. Note that local regulations governing the use of these lights may vary.

Instrument illumination

To increase the brightness, rotate the switch upward.
To decrease the brightness, rotate the switch downward.

Steering wheel adjustment

Electrically operated sun roof (certain models)

The sun roof can be operated in two ways; as a conventional sliding roof; or the rear edge can be raised to provide increased ventilation. On models equipped with the power glass sun roof, a manually operated sun shade is also provided.
See page 2:16 for operating instructions.

Hazard warning flasher

The four-way flasher should be used to indicate that the vehicle has become a traffic hazard.

Tailgate window wiper/washer (wagon)

The tailgate window wiper/washer is operated by a switch at the end of the wiper level.
1. The wiper operates continuously.
2. Intermittent position: the wiper strokes approximately every 10 seconds.
3. Tailgate washer (note that the wiper also operates when this button is depressed): after the button is released the wiper strokes 2-3 additional times before stopping.

Heated rear window, heated side-door mirrors (certain models)

Depress the switch to start heating of rear window and side mirrors. Both orange control lights in the switch will illuminate. A timer switches off the side mirror heating after approx. 6 minutes and the rear window demister after 12 minutes. The control lights go out correspondingly.

Cruise control

The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal switch lever.
To engage and set desired speed:
1. Set switch (B) to ON.
2. Accelerate to desired cruise speed.
NOTE: The cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 22 mph (35 km).
3. Press the + or - area of the SET button (A) to set the desired speed.

Braking
This will automatically disengage the cruise control. Previously selected cruise control speed is retained in the memory and by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position, that speed will be re-engaged.

If the cruise control is already engaged, the cruising speed can be increased or decreased by depressing the SET button (A) towards either + or -. One short press on the button corresponds to a speed change of approx. 1 mph (1.6 km/h). When the button is released, the vehicle will maintain the current speed.

If actual speed falls below 70% of set speed or if the wheels spin or lock, the cruise control will disengage automatically.

NOTE:
When driving up steep hills with the cruise control engaged, the transmission may shift intermittently. This can be avoided by switching between transmission modes E or S while on the hill.
Normally, the (E)conomy mode should be used when the cruise control is engaged.

Acceleration
Momentary acceleration, such as for passing, does not interrupt cruise control operation. The previously selected speed will be maintained without having to set the switch to RESUME.

To disengage the cruise control system : set switch (B) to OFF, depress the brake pedal or move the gear selector to position N. Switching off the starting (ignition) switch will automatically disengage the cruise control system.

When the ignition is switched off, any information stored in the cruise control memory will be erased.
