Delayed Headlamps
The delayed headlamps feature provides a period
of exterior lighting as you leave the area around
your vehicle. The feature is activated when
the headlamps are on due to the automatic
headlamps control feature described previously in
this section, and when the ignition is turned off.
Your headlamps will then remain on until the
exterior lamps control is moved to the parking
lamps position or until the pre-selected delayed
headlamp lighting period has ended.
If you turn off the ignition with the headlamps
switch in the parking lamps or headlamps position,
the delayed headlamps cycle will not occur.
To disable the delayed headlamps feature or
change the time of delay, seeDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 255.

Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or
misty conditions.
-(Fog Lamps):The fog lamps button is located
on the exterior lamps control. The exterior lamps
control is located on the instrument panel to the
left of the steering column.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to work.
Press the exterior lamps button to turn the fog
lamps on or off. A light will come on in the
instrument panel cluster when the fog lamps
are in use.
When the headlamps are changed to high-beam,
the fog lamps will turn off. The fog lamps come
back on again when the high-beam headlamps are
turned off.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
D(Instrument Panel Brightness):The knob
with this symbol on it is located next to the exterior
lamps control. Push the knob in all the way until
it pops out and then turn the knob clockwise
to brighten or counterclockwise to dim the lights.
Push the knob back in when nished.
Courtesy Lamps
When a door is opened, the courtesy lamps
automatically come on. They make it easy for you
to enter and leave your vehicle. You can also
manually turn these lamps on by fully turning the
instrument panel brightness control clockwise.
The reading lamps, located on the headliner, can
be turned on or off independent of the automatic
courtesy lamps, when the doors are closed.
186

Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature of the air owing
from the system.
Airow Mode Control:Turn the right knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to direct the airow
inside of the vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of
the air to the instrument panel outlets and
half to the oor outlets. A little air is directed
towards the windshield and side window 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, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
automatically selects outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected when in Floor Mode.The right knob can also be used to select defog
or defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.
By positioning the right knob between two modes,
a combination of those two modes is selected.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on or off. The indicator light
on the button turns on when this mode is selected.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce the outside air
and odors entering the vehicle. Recirculation
may also help cool the air inside the vehicle more
quickly once the temperature inside the vehicle
is less than the outside temperature.
The recirculation mode can be turned off in vent
and bi-level modes by pressing the button
again. Recirculation mode automatically turns off
when the engine is turned off and must be
re-selected when the engine is turned on again.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with
oor, defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to
select recirculation in one of those modes,
the indicator ashes three times and turns off.
200

The air conditioning compressor also comes on
when this mode is activated unless the outside
air temperature is less than 40°F (4°C). While in
recirculation mode the windows may fog when
the weather is cold and damp. To clear the
fog, select either the defog or defrost mode and
increase the fan speed.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button on
the left knob to turn the air conditioning system
on or off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator light
comes on to show that the air conditioning has
been activated. The air conditioning compressor
does not operate when outside temperatures
fall below 40°F (4°C). The indicator light ashes
three times and turns off when outside conditions
affect air conditioning operation. This is normal.
For quicker cool down on hot days, do the
following:
1. Open the windows to let hot air escape.
2. Select the vent mode.
3. Select the air conditioner.4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot air has
escaped.
7. Once the vehicle’s interior temperature is
below the outside temperature, select
recirculation mode for better cooling.
This helps to reduce the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently.
Using recirculation for long periods of time may
cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after
the inside of the vehicle has cooled, turn the
recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you might notice a small amount
of water dripping underneath the front of center
and right rear of the vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is normal.
201

Manual Operation
The air delivery mode or fan speed can be
manually adjusted.
DC(Fan):The buttons with the fan symbols let
you manually adjust the fan speed. Press the
up arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.
Pressing a fan button while the system is off will
turn the system on. Pressing a fan button
while in automatic control places the fan under
manual control. The fan setting remains displayed
and the AUTO light turns off. The air delivery
mode remains in automatic control.
yNz(Mode):Press the mode up and down
buttons to manually change the direction of
the airow in the vehicle. Repeatedly press the
button until the desired mode appears on the
display. Pressing a mode button while the system
is off will change air delivery mode without
turning the system on. Press one of these buttons
while in automatic control to place the mode
under manual control.The air delivery mode setting displays and the
AUTO light turns off. The fan remains under
automatic control.
H(Vent):This setting delivers air to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs air to the
instrument panel outlets and to the oor outlets.
A little air is directed towards the windshield
and side window 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, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
automatically selects outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected in oor mode.
-(Defog):See “Defogging and Defrosting” later
in this section.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
the recirculation mode on. When the button
is pressed, an indicator light comes on.
206

This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and
prevent odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculation can also help cool the air inside your
vehicle more quickly once the temperature inside
the vehicle is less than the outside temperature.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to select
recirculation in one of those modes, the indicator
ashes three times and turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also comes on when this
mode is activated. While in recirculation mode the
windows may fog when the weather is cold and
damp. To clear the fog, select either the defog or
defrost mode and increase the fan speed.
Press the button again to turn off the recirculation
mode. It automatically turns off when the engine is
turned off and must be re-selected when the engine
is turned on again.
Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and off.
When air conditioning is selected, an indicator light
comes on to let you know that the air conditioning
has been activated.The air conditioning compressor does not work
when outside temperatures fall below 40°F (4°C).
Pressing this button when the outside temperature
is too cool makes the air conditioning indicator ash
three times and turn off to let you know the air
conditioning mode is not available. If the air
conditioning is on and the outside temperature
drops below a temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the air conditioning light
turns off to show that the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This helps to reduce the
time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also
helps the system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.
