Power Outlet 115 Volt Alternating
Current
Your vehicle may have a power outlet that can
be used to plug in auxiliary electrical equipment
with a maximum limit of 150 watts. If you try to
use equipment that requires more than the limit,
a protection circuit will cut the power supply.
To reset the outlet, unplug the item and plug it
back in or turn the ignition to LOCK or
ACCESSORY and then back on. The power
will automatically restart when equipment that
operates within the limit is plugged in.The power outlet is
located behind the
third row seats on the
passenger’s side
rear quarter trim panel.
The power outlet is not designed for the following
electrical equipment and may not work properly
if these items are plugged into the power outlet:
Equipment with high initial peak wattage
such as: compressor-driven refrigerators
and electric power tools.
Other equipment requiring an extremely
stable power supply such as:
microcomputer-controlled electric blankets,
touch sensor lamps, etc.

Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have a cigarette lighter.
To use the lighter, located on the instrument
panel below the climate controls, push it in all
the way and let go. When it is ready, it will
pop back out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be
blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in
while it is heating.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other
ammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle.
Never put ammable items in the ashtray.

)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air
to the instrument panel outlets, then directs
the remaining air to the oor outlets. Cooler air is
directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to
the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets. Use this mode to send air to
the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area under the
front seats free of objects that could obstruct
airow to the rear of the vehicle.
The right knob can also be used to select defog
or defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.

selected when your vehicle is in any mode except
maximum air conditioning.
A(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed. Turn the knob to 0 to turn off the fan.

You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal.
The system is designed to make adjustments to
help with fuel economy while still maintaining
the selected temperature.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.

If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off
the road and stop carefully. You may notice that the
pedal is harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer
to the oor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is
still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light on page 215
andTowing Your Vehicle on page 384.
{CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working
properly if the brake system warning light
is on. Driving with the brake system
warning light on can lead to an accident.
If the light is still on after you have pulled
off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light
Your vehicle has
an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS)
warning light.
This light should come on for a few seconds
when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light
does not come on then, have it xed so it will
be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If this light stays on longer than normal after you
have started your engine, turn the ignition off.
If the light comes on and stays on when you are
driving, stop as soon as possible and turn the
ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on
again while you are driving, the ABS needs service
and you do not have anti-lock brakes.

(5 km/h) during the current ignition cycle,
this function will set the trip odometer to the
distance driven during the current ignition cycle.
If the vehicle’s speed has not exceeded 3 mph
(5 km/h), this function will set the trip odometer
to the distance driven during the previous
ignition cycle plus the distance driven during
the current ignition cycle.Press and hold the set/reset button for three
seconds, then release the button. The retroactive
trip odometer value will be set into the currently
