AUTOLAMP CONTROL
The autolamp system provides light
sensitive automatic on-off control of
the exterior lights normally
controlled by the headlamp control.
The autolamp system also keeps the
lights on for approximately 20
seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to OFF.
²To turn autolamps on, rotate the control counterclockwise.
²To turn autolamps off, rotate the control clockwise to OFF.
²Foglamps are not controlled by the autolamps. In order to turn on the
foglamps, you must turn the lamp switch to the
position and
pull toward you for fog.
POWER ADJUSTABLE FOOT PEDALS (IF EQUIPPED)
The accelerator and brake pedal
should only be adjusted when the
vehicle is stopped and the gearshift
lever is in the P(Park) position.
Press and hold the rocker control to
adjust accelerator and brake pedal.
²press the bottom of the control to
adjust the pedals toward you
²press the top of the control to
adjust the pedals away from you
The adjustment allows for approximately 76mm (3 inches) of maximum
travel.
Never adjust the accelerator and brake pedal with feet on pedals
or while the vehicle is moving.
REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The reverse sensing system (RSS) sounds a tone to warn the driver of
obstacles near the rear bumper when the reverse gear is selected.

The air conditioning can operate in all modes. However, the air
conditioning will only function if the outside temperature is about 6ÉC
(43ÉF) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
²
MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier
than A/C but more economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle
faster. Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. This mode
can also be used to prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
²(Panel)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push the A/C control in order to cool the vehicle below the
outside temperature. For added customer comfort, the system will
allow some airflow through the floor ducts in this mode.
²OFF (O)-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to prevent undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
²
(Panel and floor)-Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode. Push the A/C control in order
to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. For added
customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in
between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through
the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the
instrument panel registers.
²
(Floor)-Distributes outside air through the floor ducts. Heating
and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push the
A/C control in order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature.
²(Floor and defrost)-Distributes outside air through the
windshield defroster ducts and the floor ducts. Heating and air
conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. For added
customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in
between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through
the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the
windshield defrost ducts. If the outside temperature is about 6ÉC
(43ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the
air to reduce fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does not illuminate
when this mode is selected.)

²(Defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield.
If the outside temperature is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher, the air
conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.
(Note that the A/C indicator does not illuminate when this mode is
selected.) For added customer comfort, the system will allow some
airflow through the floor ducts in this mode.
Cooling your vehicle with outside air
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter but less
economical than using recirculated air. It also has less cooling capacity.
In order to cool your vehicle using outside air:
1. Turn the mode selector to
,or.
2. Press the
A/C. (The indicator light will illuminate.)
3. Turn the temperature control knob to the left.
4. Turn the fan speed control to the position of your choice.
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
²A/C control
This control is used to manually enable or disable the operation of the
air conditioning in all modes except
and.
When manual A/C is selected (ON) the indicator will be lit. When manual
A/C is selected (OFF) the indicator will not be lit.
In
and, if the outside temperature is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or
higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce
fogging. However, the A/C indicator will not illuminate.

system will be disabled and you will return to manual operation with the
recirculated air indicator lit and with the A/C operating.
To return to automatic recirculated air operation, press AUTO.
Do not leave the DEATC system in recirculated air operation for
extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in
cold/damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side
and rear windows.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully automatic control, press AUTO.
When a manual airflow override control is selected, the DEATC system
will turn off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all
operating override controls. More than one override control indicator
may turn on when an override control is selected.

Do not insert any promotional (odd shaped or sized) discs, or discs
with removable labels into the CD player as jamming may occur.
Display description
Six circles are always lit in the digital display. These signify the six CD
slots in the audio system. When a disc is loaded into a particular slot
(1±6), the number inside that specific circle lights. If the circle is empty,
there is no CD in that particular slot.
Load
The load feature allows you to load
single CDs into the player internal
to the radio.
This six disc CD player is equipped with a CD door. Compact
discs should only be inserted into the player after the door has
been opened by the player. Do not attempt to force the door
open. Compact discs should only be loaded by pressing the LOAD
control.
Press the LOAD control. (You can choose which slot will be loaded by
pressing the desired preset number. If you do not choose a slot, the
system will choose the next available one.) Wait until the CD door opens.
Load the CD into the player. LOADING CD# is displayed. When the CD
has been loaded, the door will close and the CD will begin to play. For
example, to load a CD into slot #2, press the LOAD control and then
press preset #2.
Auto load
This feature allows you to autoload
up to 6 discs into the multi disc CD
player internal to the radio.
Press and hold the LOAD control until AUTOLOAD # is displayed. The
CD door will open. Load the desired disc, one at a time. The CD is
loaded into position and the audio system will display CD#. Each time
the CD door opens, INSERT CD# is displayed. The door will close and
the player will move to the next slot after each disc has been loaded.
The process is repeated until all 6 slots are full. The audio system plays
the last CD loaded and the display is updated. If some slots are already
full and autoload is activated, the system will fill all empty slots.
