Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps,
trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door opener. When the ignition is turned
OFF, the power to
these features will automatically
turn off after 10 minutes
(three minutes if a new car has
15 miles or less). Power
will
be restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door
is opened, the
trunk is opened or the courtesy lamp
switch is turned on.
Battery Guard Storage
This feature is for long term use and miust be
programmed through the DIC while the ignition is in the
RUN position. Battery guard storage protects the battery
by placing the vehicle in a storage mode
so that the
radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and Remote Keyless
Entry
(RKE) will not drain the battery over a long
period
of time.
To begin programming, press the INFORMATION
and RESET buttons at
the same time for approximately
two seconds. Press the RESET button to answer
“yes” and press the INFORMATION button to indicate a “no” response. The first prompt
to appear relates to the automatic door
locks. This feature can be bypassed by pressing the
INFORMATION button. The STORAGE MODE?
prompt appears next. To select, press the
RESET button.
ENABLE STORAGE MODE? will then appear. A yes
or no response must be given. If the INFORMATION
(no) button is pressed, the DISABLE STORAGE
MODE? prompt will appear. Once again, a yes or no
response is required.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode approximately
20 minutes after the ignition key has been turned off.
The RKE will also be disabled at this point. The RKE
will reactivate when a door or the trunk is opened,
however,
if your vehicle is left inactive for another
20 minutes the RKE will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key
is turned out of LOCK. The system will
“wake-up” when the
door key is inserted into the door
however, your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of
LOCK before the battery
guard is disabled.

Reverse Gear Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of the
automatic mirror. When the shift lever
is placed in
REVERSE (R), the mirror changes to the day mode.
This gives you a bright image in the mirror as you
back up.
Cleaning Photocells
Use a cotton swab and glass cleaner to clean the front
and rear photocells that make the auto-dimming
feature work. Once the compass is calibrated,
it does not need to be
recalibrated. To calibrate
the compass:
1. Set the switch on the mirror control to C/M.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition switch on. The letter C
should be displayed in the mirror compass window.
If not, hold the CAL switch (on the bottom of the
mirror)
for more than 10 seconds, and the letter C
will appear. To hold in the CAL switch, insert a
paper clip into the small hole on the bottom of the
mirror housing. The display will show a number first, but keep holding until the letter
C appears.
3. For quick calibration, drive the vehicle in a
360-degree circle at less than
5 mph (8 km/h) until
the display reads a compass direction.
For nonnal
calibration, drive the vehicle
on your everyday
routine, and the compass will eventually calibrate.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fan Button
The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed. Press the up
arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.
Temperature Button
The red and blue temperature buttons adjust the air
temperature coming through the system. Press the blue
button for a eooler setting or the red button for a warmer setting. The outside temperature is always displayed
when your vehicle is running.
You can change it from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the
ENGNET
(English/metric) button on the DIC.
Mode Controls
The AUTO/ECON button automatically controls the
direction
of air delivery for air conditioning and non-air
conditioning modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for AUTO, sensors will control
the air delivery mode.
Air will come from the floor,
middle or windshield outlets. The fan speed will vary as
the system maintains the selected temperature setting. Be
careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor
is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.
To find your comfort zone, start with 75°F (24°C)
setting, allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Press the red or blue temperature buttons to
adjust the temperature if necessary. If you choose
60°F
(1 6" C), the system will remain at that maximum cooling
setting
and will not regulate fan speed. If you choose the
temperature of
90°F (32"C), the system will remain at
that maximum heating setting and will not regulate
fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
With this setting,
the air conditioning compressor
automatically cycles when needed to cool the air. In cold
weather, when the system senses the need for heat, the
airflow will be directed
out the floor outlets. As. the
interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the
blower speed will decrease.
To maintain interior
comfort, the airflow may move to the instrument panel
air outlets and floor outlets
(BI-LEVEL mode). On
bright, sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may
come
out of the A/C outlets (A/C mode) to maintain
comfort and prevent stuffiness.

If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have
it set -on
AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor air
outlets for a
few seconds. That is normal. This is to
expel hot air in the air outlets.
As the air is cooled, the
aifflow will move through the
A/C outlets. If you start
your vehicle with the fan setting on
HI, it will skip the
A/C Purge.
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 outside air
temperature, engine coolant temperature or the time
since the engine was last started.
As the coolant warms
up, the blower fan speed will gradually increase
and air
will flow from the heater outlets, with some aifflow to
the windshield to prevent fogging under most nonnal
conditions.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting
the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas,
DEFROST will change
to
AUTO when the ignition is shut off and then turned
back on.
Manual Operation
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is helpful
when you are trying to cool the air quickly or limit odors
entering your vehicle. In the
AUTO mode, the system
will use recirculation as necessary to cool the air.
Pressing the recirculation button will change the
operation to a manual mode and the air will recirculate
non-stop. Press this button again to
turn off the
recirculation feature.
If you notice
the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button
to exit the recirculation mode.
OFF: Press this button to turn the system off.
Fresh air will continue to flow through the vehicle,
and the system will try
to maintain the previously set
temperature. The outside temperature will show in
the display when the system is off.
@ DE-ICE (Option): Pressing this button helps to
remove ice or frost from the windshield. See "Heated Windshield" later in this section.
