Entry Lighting
The entry lighting system automatically turns on the
courtesy lamps and the backlighting to the door switches
and to the exterior lamp control when a door is opened
or if you press the remote keyless entry transmitter
unlock button. If activated due to the transmitter,
the lighting will remain active for about 40 seconds.
Since the entry lighting system uses the light sensor, it
must be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps
to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately
25 seconds after the last door is closed. They will dim to
off if the ignition key is placed in ON, or immediately
deactivate if the power locks are activated.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits dimming of the digital displays and
backlighting during daylight hours when the key is in
the ignition and the headlamps are on. This feature
operates with the light sensor for the Twilight
Sentinel
žand is fully automatic. When the light sensor
reads darkness outside and the parking lamps are
active, the digital displays can be adjusted by turning
the instrument panel brightness knob counterclockwise
to dim and clockwise to brighten lighting.
Reading Lamps
The front reading lamps are located in the overhead
console. These lamps and the interior courtesy lamps
come on when a door is opened and it is dark outside.
The rear reading lamps will not come on when a
front door is opened.
The rear courtesy lamps are located on the rear
headliner above the rear seat outboard positions. When
a rear door is opened, both the front and rear reading
lamps come on with the courtesy lamps.
Press the button near each lamp to turn it on and off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

TEMP (Driver's Temperature Knob):Press this knob
to turn the climate control system on or off. Turn this
knob clockwise or counterclockwise to manually
increase or decrease the temperature inside your
vehicle.
TEMP (Passenger's Temperature Knob):Press this
knob to turn the passengers' climate control system
controls on or off. Turn this knob to manually increase
or decrease the temperature for the front passenger.
If the passenger's climate controls are turned off,
the driver's temperature knob will control the
temperature for the entire vehicle.
A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to override
the automatic system and turn the air-conditioning
system on or off. When in AUTO the air-conditioning
compressor will come on automatically, as necessary.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.For quick cool down on hot days:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select A/C.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Open all outlets.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry.
To prevent this from happening, after the air in your
vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
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.
If your vehicle has the memory option, it can be used to
recall your climate control settings. For more information,
see
Climate Controls Personalization on page 3-36.

Cassette Tape Messages
If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape, it
could be for one of the following reasons:
·The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot turn the hubs of the tape. Hold the cassette
tape with the open end down and try turning
the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Flip
the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not
turn easily, your cassette tape may be damaged
and should not be used in the player. Try a
new tape to be sure your player is working properly.
·The cassette tape is broken. (Check to see if
your tape is broken. Try a new tape.)
CLEAN TAPE:If this message appears on the display,
the cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will
still play tapes, but you should clean it as soon as
possible to prevent damage to the tapes and player.
See
Care of Your Cassette Tape Player on page 3-104.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, contact your dealer.
Playing a Compact Disc
Insert a disc partway into the slot, label side up. The
player will pull it in. If the ignition and the radio are on
and the underlined compact disc symbol appears on
the display, the disc will begin playing. A compact disc

playing until the radio is on. If you want to insert a disc
when the ignition is off, ®rst press the eject button.
The integral CD player can play the smaller 8 cm
compact discs. Full-size compact discs and the smaller
compact discs are loaded in the same manner.
If playing a CD-R the sound quality may be reduced
due to CD-R quality, the method of recording, the quality
of the music that has been recorded and the way the
CD-R has been handled. You may experience an
increase in skipping, difficulty in ®nding tracks and/or
difficulty in loading and ejecting. If these problems occur
try a known good CD.
Do not add paper labels to discs, they could get caught
in the CD player.
Do not play 3 inch discs without a standard
adapter disc.
If an error appears on the display, see ªCompact Disc
Messagesº later in this section.

Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over a hill and ®nd
a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you. You
can avoid these problems by braking Ð if you can stop
in time. But sometimes you can't; there isn't room.
That's the time for evasive action Ð steering around the
problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like
these. First apply your brakes.
See
Braking on page 4-6. It is better to remove as much
speed as you can from a possible collision. Then
steer around the problem, to the left or right depending
on the space available.An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you
can turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without
removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer
quickly, and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving
at all times and wear safety belts properly.

An alternate fuel door
release strap is located
inside the trunk on
the driver's side of the
vehicle.
Pull the strap to release the fuel door.
While refueling, hang the fuel cap by the tether from the
hook on the fuel door.
To remove the fuel cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The fuel cap has a spring in it; if
you let go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to
the right.

{CAUTION:
If you get fuel on yourself and then something
ignites it, you could be badly burned. Fuel can
spray out on you if you open the fuel cap too
quickly. This spray can happen if your tank is
nearly full, and is more likely in hot weather.
Open the fuel cap slowly and wait for any
ªhissº noise to stop. Then unscrew the cap all
the way.
Be careful not to spill fuel. Clean fuel from painted
surfaces as soon as possible. See
Cleaning the Outside
of Your Vehicle on page 5-86.When you put the fuel cap back on, turn it to the right
(clockwise) until you hear a clicking sound. Make
sure you fully install the cap. The diagnostic system can
determine if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly
installed. This would allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. See
Malfunction Indicator Lamp on
page 3-47.
The CHECK GAS CAP message in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will come on if the fuel cap is
not properly reinstalled.
Notice:If you need a new fuel cap, be sure to get
the right type. Your dealer can get one for you.
If you get the wrong type, it may not ®t properly.
This may cause your malfunction indicator lamp to
light and may damage your fuel tank and emissions
system. See ªMalfunction Indicator Lampº in the
Index.
