located under the climate control system.
The removable ashtray can be placed into the
front console cupholder.

amperage rating of 20 amperes.
Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation for your vehicle.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature and
it is activated, the climate control system will
automatically cool the vehicle if the temperature is
greater than 90°F (32°C) and heat the vehicle if the
temperature is below 37°F (3°C). If the temperature
is between 37°F (3°C) and 90°F (32°C), the last
control setting selected when the engine was
running will be used. Normal operation and the last
setting of the climate control system will return after
the key is turned to the RUN position.
168

This control has four types of operation.
Automatic can set/change the temperature
only. AUTO and temperature only will
appear on the display.
Semi-Automatic Fan can set/change the
temperature and mode. The fan operates
automatically. The temperature and mode will
appear on the display.
Semi-Automatic Mode can set/change the
temperature and fan speed. The mode
operates automatically. The fan speed and
temperature will appear on the display.
Manual can set/change the temperature,
mode and fan. The fan speed, temperature,
and mode will appear on the display.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the
climate control system will automatically regulate
the inside temperature of your vehicle when
the remote start system is activated. Normal
operation and the last setting of the climate control
system will return after the key is turned on.

While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try
your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or
braking, including reducing vehicle speed by
shifting to a lower gear. Any sudden changes could
cause the tires to slide. You may not realize the
surface is slippery until your vehicle is skidding.
Learn to recognize warning clues — such as
enough water, ice, or packed snow on the road to
make a mirrored surface — and slow down when
you have any doubt.
If you have the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS),
remember: It helps avoid only the braking skid. If
you do not have ABS, then in a braking skid,
where the wheels are no longer rolling, release
enough pressure on the brakes to get the wheels
rolling again. This restores steering control.
Push the brake pedal down steadily when you
have to stop suddenly. As long as the wheels are
rolling, you will have steering control.Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to
be impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night
vision problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Do not drink and drive.
Adjust the inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
Since you cannot see as well, you may need
to slow down and keep more space between
you and other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads.
Your vehicle’s headlamps can light up only so
much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe
place and rest.

5. Check that the jumper cables do not have
loose or missing insulation. If they do, you
could get a shock. The vehicles could
be damaged too.
Before you connect the cables, here are some
basic things you should know. Positive (+)
will go to positive (+) or to a remote positive (+)
terminal if the vehicle has one. Negative will
go to a heavy, unpainted metal engine part or
to a remote negative (−) terminal if the
vehicle has one.
Notice:If you connect a negative cable to the
Engine Control Module (ECM), ECM mounting
bracket or any cables that attach to the
ECM bracket, you may damage the ECM.
Attach the negative cable to a heavy, unpainted
metal engine part, other than the ECM, ECM
bracket or cables attached to the ECM bracket.
Do not connect positive (+) to negative (−), or
you will get a short that would damage the
battery and maybe other parts too. And do
not connect the negative (−) cable to the
negative (−) terminal on the dead battery
because this can cause sparks.6. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the
positive (+) terminal location on the vehicle
with the dead battery. Use a remote
positive (+) terminal if the vehicle has one.
