Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Trunk Trunk Release
A CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on
AUTO and the temperature between
65°F (18OC) and 85°F (29°C). That will
force outside
air into your vehicle. See
“Comfort Controls” in the Index.
0 If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
To use this feature,
your vehicle must be in
PARK (P). Press the trunk
release button located on the
center console next to the
radio to open the trunk.
You can also press the trunk button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter to access the trunk
compartment. Your vehicle doesn’t have a trunk key
lock cylinder.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Wiper-Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the low-beam headlamps, parking
lamps, sidemarker lamps and taillamps after the
windshield wipers have been in use for about
20 seconds.
The wiper-activated headlamps light the way in poor
weather and
also make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers.
If the wipers are on and the ignition switch
is turned off, the headlamps will immediately turn off.
The headlamps will also deactivate if the windshield
wipers have been turned
off for about 20 seconds.
Perimeter Lighting
This feature turns on the low-beam headlamps,
parking lamps, sidemarker lamps and taillamps for
about
20 seconds after the unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter is pressed. Perimeter lighting
immediately ends when your vehicle’s ignition is turned
to
ON or START.
Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime if you open the door
while leaving the lamps on, if the manual headlamp
control is activated. An exception to this is when you’re
using the twilight sentinel.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DIU, can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when:
your vehicle’s ignition is in ON or START,
the low-beam headlamps are off (the manual lamp
switch is in the off or park lamp position) and
your vehicle’s transmission is shifted out of
PARK
(P).
When DRL are on, only the high-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be on.
No other exterior lamps
such as
the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on
when the DRL
are being used. The instrument panel
won’t be lit up either.
When the twilight sentinel is on and it’s dark enough
outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced intensity)
will change to low-beam headlamps. When it’s bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and the
high-beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness
of
DRL.

Instrument Panel Brightness Control
This control dial is located to the right of the fog lamp
button. As you rotate the control dial up, the instrument
panel lights will brighten.
Illuminated Entry
This system turns on the courtesy lamps (dome lamps
and door entry lamps) for about
20 seconds when any of
the following occur:
0 If you manually unlock your vehicle with the key,
0 If any door is opened,
0 If you press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, or
0 After the last door on your vehicle is closed.
Illuminated entry immediately ends when your vehicle’s
ignition
is turned to ON or START.
Rear Reading Lamps
The rear reading lamps are located above each rear door.
These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on
when any door is opened and it is dark outside.
Placing the button in the center position enables the
lamps to come on when any door is opened. Pressing the
button toward the rear of your vehicle disables the lamps
when any door is opened. With the button set toward the
front
of the vehicle, the lamps will always be on.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off
10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Time Delay
This feature prevents rapid changing of the mirror from
the night mode to the day mode as you drive under
lights and through traffic.
Cleaning Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the front
and rear photocells that make the auto-dimming
feature work.
Power Remote Control Mirror
Move the rocker switch to
the left to choose the
driver’s side mirror or move
the switch
to the right to
select the passenger’s side
mirror.
To adjust the mirror,
push the control pad in the
direction you want the
mirror to go. Adjust each
mirror
so you can see the
side of your vehicle and the
area behind your vehicle.
Your vehicle’s ignition must be in
ON for this feature
to work.
Manual Folding Outside Rearview Mirrors
The driver’s and passenger’s outside mirrors move
forward and rearward (“break-away”) to help prevent
injury and/or damage to your vehicle.
Also note that the symbol appearing on each mirror lets
you know that the mirrors are heated mirrors.
To heat
the mirrors, press the rear window defogger button.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved
so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
CAUTIO--:
-
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
