While the lever is down, tilt the steering column to your desired position. While holding the steering column in place, pull the lever up to its original position to lock the steering column. Do not adjust while driving. SEVEN | STEERING WHEEL AUDIO CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED) These controls allow you to adust the radio and CD features from the steering wheel. Press MEDIA to select AM, FM1, FM2 or CD. Press SEEK to access the next/previous strong station or track on a CD. Press VOL+/- to adjust volume and MUTE to mute the volume. EIGHT | WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER The multifunction lever controls the windshield wiper modes, speeds, and the windshield washer. For intermittent operation, move the control up one position. You can then adjust the rotary control to the desired interval speed. For normal or low wiper speed, move the control up two positions from OFF. For high speed operation, move the control up three positions from OFF. For windshield washer control, pull the end of the lever toward you. A brief pull causes a single swipe of the wipers without washer fluid. With a quick pull and hold, the wipers will swipe three times with washer fluid. A long pull and hold will activate the wipers and washer fluid for up to ten seconds. NINE | TRACTION CONTROL™ (IF EQUIPPED) This system helps you maintain the stability and steerability of your vehicle on slippery road surfaces such as snow, ice, or gravel. The system works closely with many of the elements already present in the Anti-Lock Braking System. The system defaults to ON. However, should you become stuck, try switching the Traction Control™ off.
