Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft
-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.

Exterior Lamps
Your exterior lamps knob is
on the driver's side of your
instrument panel.
Turn the knob clockwise to the parking lamps
symbol to manually turn on the following:

Parking Lamps

Sidemarker Lamps

Taillamps

License Plate Lamps

Instrument Panel Lights
Turn the knob clockwise to the master lamps
symbol to turn on all the lamps listed as well as
the headlamps.
Turn the knob all the way counterclockwise to this
symbol to turn off the lamps and put the system in
automatic headlamp mode.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, your automatic
headlamp system will turn on your headlamps at the
normal brightness along with other lamps such as the
taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps and the instrument
panel lights. The radio lights will also be on.
Your vehicle is equipped with a light sensor on the top
of the instrument panel. Be sure it is not covered or the
system will be on whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on your lights when driving
through a parking garage, heavy overcast weather or a
tunnel. This is normal.

2-45
There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems so that
driving under bridges or bright overhead street lights
does not affect the system. The DRL and automatic
headlamp system will only be affected when the light
sensor sees a change in lighting lasting longer than
the delay.
To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
off. Then start your vehicle. The automatic headlamp
system will stay off until you release the parking brake,
or until you shift out of park.
You may be able to turn off your automatic headlamp
system. See ªDaytime Running Lamps (DRL)º later
in this section for more information.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Lamps On Reminder
A reminder tone will sound when your headlamps or
parking lamps are manually turned on, the driver's door
is open and your ignition is in LOCK or ACCESSORY.
To turn the tone off, turn the knob all the way
counterclockwise. In the automatic mode, the headlamps
turn off once the ignition key is in LOCK.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully
functional daytime running lamps are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make your headlamps come
on at reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:

The ignition is on,

the exterior lamps knob is in automatic
headlamp mode,

the light sensor detects daytime light, and

the transmission is not in PARK (P).
When the DRL are on, only your headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won't be on.
The instrument panel won't be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps
will automatically switch from DRL to the
regular headlamps.

Driver's Side Temperature Knob
The driver's side knob is used to adjust the temperature
of the air coming through the system on the driver's
side. Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower the cabin
temperature. The display will show the temperature
decreasing as you turn the knob counterclockwise. Turn
the knob clockwise to increase the cabin temperature.
The display will show the temperature increasing as you
turn the knob clockwise. When this knob is adjusted, the
word DRIVER will be displayed under the temperature
setting. If the passenger's set temperature has not been
adjusted, this knob controls both the driver's and
passenger's air temperature.
Passenger's Side Temperature Knob
The passenger's side knob can be used to change the
temperature of the air coming through the system on
the passenger's side of the vehicle. Turn the knob
counterclockwise to lower the cabin temperature. The
display will show the temperature decreasing as you turn
the knob counterclockwise. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase the cabin temperature. The display will show
the temperature increasing as you turn the knob
clockwise. When this knob is adjusted, only the word
PASS will be displayed under the temperature setting.
The temperature to the rear seat area is controlled by
using this knob.Once this knob is used, the passenger's set temperature
will remain independent of the driver's until the ignition
has been turned off.
Fan Switch
The switch with the fan symbol allows you to manually
adjust the fan speed. Press the up arrow to increase fan
speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed.
MODE Button
Press this button to manually select the air delivery
mode to the floor, panel or windshield outlets. The
system will stay in the selected mode until the MODE
button is pressed again or the AUTO button is pressed.
Display
In full AUTO mode, the automatic climate control
system display will show the outside temperature,
labeled EXT for external temperature, and AUTO.
If you press the MODE button to select an air delivery
mode, the display will change to also show you the
current system mode. If you press the up or down
arrows on the fan switch, the display will change to
show the selected fan speed. After five seconds, the
display will change to show the EXT temperature and
the selected manual setting.

3-6
Automatic Operation
Press the AUTO button to set the system to
automatically control the air delivery mode, fan speed,
air temperature and recirculation operations. Whenever
you press AUTO, the display will change to show the
current driver's set temperature, automatic air delivery
mode and fan speed. Press the AUTO button again
within five seconds and the display will show the
passenger's set temperature. After five seconds the
display will change to the EXT (external) temperature
outside the vehicle.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning operation
and air inlet will be automatically controlled. The air
conditioning compressor will run when outside
temperature is over approximately 40
F (4
C).
The air inlet will normally be set to outside air. If it's
hot outside, the air inlet will automatically switch
to recirculated inside air to help quickly cool down
your vehicle.
To find your comfort setting, start with a 74
F (23
C)
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the
system to regulate. Turn the driver's or passenger's side
temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise to
adjust the temperature setting as necessary. If you
choose the temperature setting of 60
F (15
C), thesystem will remain at the maximum cooling setting and
fan speed. If you choose the temperature setting of 90
F
(32
C), the system will remain at the maximum heat
setting and fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting
will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the sensor located on the top of
the instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor
regulates air temperature based on sun load, and also
turns on your headlamps.
The EXT (exterior) temperature sensor is located in the
front of the vehicle behind the grille. The displayed
temperature is most accurate after the vehicle has been
moving for a few minutes. If the vehicle is stopped and
then restarted within 2 1/2 hours, the sensor will be hot
from the engine heat. In this case, the temperature first
displayed will continue to be the temperature that was
displayed before the vehicle was turned off. The display
will update after the vehicle has been moving for a few
minutes and the sensor has a chance to cool down to the
actual temperature.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available.
The length of delay depends on the engine coolant
temperature. Pressing the fan switch will override this
delay and change the fan to a selected speed.

3-8 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
If your vehicle has the manual system, for quick
cool
-down on very hot days, use the airflow from the
panel outlets, press recirculation and air conditioning
with the temperature control in the blue area. If this max
air conditioning setting is used for long periods of time,
the air in your vehicle may become too cold and dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use air conditioning
without recirculation with the temperature control in the
blue area.
If your vehicle has the automatic system, press the
AUTO button and the system will cool and dehumidify
the air inside the vehicle. Also while in this mode, the
system will maximize its performance by using
recirculation as necessary.
On cool, but sunny days, with the manual system or
through manual operation of the automatic system,
use bi
-level to deliver warm air to the floor and cooler
air to the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool
the air delivered, turn the temperature control to the
desired setting.
Heating
If you have the manual system, on cold days use floor
with the temperature lever in the red area. If you have
the automatic system, press AUTO and adjust the
temperature by turning the temperature knob clockwise
or counterclockwise. You may also adjust the automatic
system manually by pressing the MODE button and
selecting floor. Again, adjust the temperature by turning
the temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
With either system, outside air will be heated and sent
through the floor outlets. The heater works best if you
keep the windows closed while using it.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use defog to keep the windshield
and side windows clear. Use the FRONT defrost button
to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in
extremely humid or cold conditions.
If your vehicle has the manual system, select defog and
adjust the fan speed to your comfort level. Turn the air
conditioning on to help dehumidify the air. Use front
defrost with the temperature toward the red area and the
fan control toward high.
