The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to
the lamp control knob when a door is opened or
if you
press a remote keyless entry transmitter button. Since
the illuminated
entry system has a photocell, this means
that it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy
lamps or backlighting
to turn on. The courtesy lamps
turn off approximately
20 seconds after the last door is
closed
or after the ignition key is placed in the ignition.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits backlighting and the dimming
of the instrument panel lights during daylight while the
headlamps are
on. This feature operates with the light
sensor for the twilight sentinel and is fully automatic.
When
the light sensor reads darkness outside, the
instrument panel lights can be adjusted. Backlighting
to the instrument panel will also turn on.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps automatically come on
when either door
is opened and it is dark outside. For
manual operation, press the button
to turn them on.

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 I5 miles
(24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if either door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Storage Mode Personalization
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the Driver Information Center
(DIC) while the ignition is in RUN. Storage mode
personalization protects the battery by placing your
vehicle in a storage mode
so that the radio, amplifiers,
instrument cluster and remote keyless entry will
not drain the battery over a long period of time.
For programming information, see “Programmable,
Memory and Personalization Features” later

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 from the air outlets. As the air
is cooled,
the airflow will move through
the air conditioning
outlets. If you start your vehicle with the fan setting
on
HI, it will skip the air conditioning 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
normal 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 automatic operation when the ignition is
shut off and
then turned back on.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed.
