Twilight Sentinel®
This lever is located below
the exterior lamps control.
It automatically turns
the lamps on and off by
sensing how dark it
is outside.
To operate the Twilight Sentinel
®, leave the exterior
lamps control off and slide the TWILIGHT lever to any
position but OFF.If you move the lever all the way to the right, the lamps
will remain on for approximately three minutes after
the ignition has been turned to OFF. If you move
the lever so it is barely on, the lamps will go off quickly
when you turn the ignition switch out of OFF. You
can adjust the delay time from only a few seconds to
about three minutes.
If it is dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
®
lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended (it has become dark enough
outside to require the headlamps and/or other exterior
lamps). Turning on the Twilight Sentinel
®or turning
the exterior lamp control to the headlamp position will
remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.

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
®and 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.
Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a
higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than
normal to make sure the battery charges. High electrical
loads may occur when several of the following are
on: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window
defogger, the climate control fan at high speeds, heated
seats and engine cooling fans.

CAUTION: (Continued)
So, unless you check carefully behind you
before and when you back up, you could strike
children, pedestrians, bicyclists or pets behind
you, and they could be injured or killed.
Whether or not you are using Rear Park Assist,
always check carefully behind your vehicle
before you back up and then watch closely as
you do.
The URPA display is
located inside the vehicle,
above the rear window.
It has three color-coded
lights that can be seen
through the rearview mirror
or by turning around.
How the System Works
URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is
moved into REVERSE (R). When the system comes on,
the three lights on the display will briefly illuminate to
let you know that the system is working. If your vehicle is
moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than
3 mph (5 km/h), the red light will flash to remind you the
system does not work at this speed.
The first time an object is detected while in
REVERSE (R), a chime will sound and the following will
occur in sequence, depending on the distance from
the object:
•At 5 feet (1.5 m) a chime will sound and one amber
light will be lit;
•at 40 inches (1.0 m) both amber lights will be lit;
•at 20 inches (0.5 m) a continuous chime will sound
and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit; and
•at 1 foot (0.3 m) a continuous chime will sound and
all three lights (amber/amber/red) will flash.
URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider,
and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it cannot detect
objects that are above trunk level. In order for the
rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within
operating range.
3-25

If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the
display will flash red, indicating that there is a problem.
The light will also flash red while driving if a trailer is
attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or object is on the
back of, or hanging out of your trunk. The light will
continue to flash until the trailer or the object is
removed and your vehicle is driven forward at least
15 mph (25 km/h).
It may also flash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not
kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of
mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or materials such as
paint or the system may not work properly. If after
cleaning the rear bumper and driving forward at least
15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to flash red, see
your dealer. For cleaning instructions, seeCleaning
the Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-90.
It may also flash red if your vehicle is moving in
REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
Other conditions that may affect system performance
include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or
the compression of air brakes on a very large truck.
As always, drivers should use care when backing up a
vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check
for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots.Accessory Power Outlets
Your vehicle is equipped with accessory power outlets.
The outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment
such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc.
The accessory power outlets are located at the rear of
the center console and on the lower inboard carpeted
panel on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
Your vehicle may have a small cap that must be
removed to access the accessory power outlet. If it
does, when not using the outlet be sure to cover it with
the protective cap.
The accessory power outlet will only operate when the
ignition is in ACC or ON and for 10 minutes after
turning the ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory
power outlet to operate regardless of ignition position,
and for extended periods of time, see your dealer
for more information.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating.
Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible
to the accessory power outlet and could result in
blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem see your dealer for additional information on the
accessory power plugs.

Climate Controls
Dual Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation for your vehicle.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When this button is pressed and
the temperature is set, the system will automatically
control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode and
the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the display.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting
between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any
faster. If you set the system at the warmest
temperature setting, the system will remain in
manual mode at that temperature and it will not go
into automatic mode.
In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan
speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your vehicle
until warmer air is available. The system will
start out blowing air at the floor but may change
modes automatically as the vehicle warms up
to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The
length of time needed for warm up will depend on
the outside temperature and the length of time
that has elapsed since your vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from
10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if
necessary.
3-28

Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of
the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more
information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in
this section.
When your vehicle is first started, the display will show
the driver’s temperature setting, the fan speed and
the air delivery mode.
When the ENG/MET (English/metric) button on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) is pressed, the display
will show readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Use the
ENG/MET button to toggle between them.
Manual Operation
SMODET:Pressing the MODE switch and changing
the mode cancels automatic operation and places the
system in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to
automatic operation.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
G(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
+(Bi-Level):This mode directs approximately half of
the air to the instrument panel outlets, and then
directs most of the remaining air to the floor outlets.
Some air may be directed toward the windshield.
In automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the upper
outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets.
8(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
floor outlets with some air directed to the outboard
outlets (for the side windows) a little air directed to the
windshield.
The MODE switch can also be used to select the
floor/defog mode. Information on defogging and
defrosting can be found later in this section.
y9z(Fan):Press this switch to increase or
decrease the fan speed. Pressing this switch cancels
automatic operation and places the system in manual
mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation.
If the airflow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment air filter
may need to be replaced. For more information, see
Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-35
andScheduled Maintenance on page 6-4.
3-29

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity
(moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This
can be minimized if the climate control system is
used properly. There are two modes to clear fog from
your windshield. Use the floor/defog mode to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode (FRONT) to remove
fog or frost from the windshield more quickly.
SMODET:Press this switch until floor/defog
appears on the display.
/(Floor/Defog):This mode directs the air equally
between the windshield and the floor outlets. When you
select this mode, the system turns off recirculation and
runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation
mode cannot be selected while in the floor/defog mode.
1FRONT (Defrost):Pressing FRONT directs most of
the air to the windshield and the side window outlets, with
some air directed to the floor outlets. In this mode, the
system will automatically turn off recirculation and run the
air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannot
be selected while in the defrost mode. Do not drive the
vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in ON.
=REAR:Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from
the rear window as possible.
The rear window defogger will turn off approximately 10
minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on
again, the defogger will only run for approximately five
minutes before turning off. The defogger can also
be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning
off the engine.
The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to help
clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the
REAR button is pressed.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear
the inside rear window may damage the rear
window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not clear the inside of the rear
window with sharp objects.

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle has
been driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have
a new odometer installed. The new one may read
the correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s
computer has stored the mileage in memory.
Trip Odometers
The trip odometer can record the number of miles or
kilometers traveled for up to two trips.
The trip odometer button is
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
The two trip modes are indicated by Trip A and Trip B.
In order to change from one mode to the other,
press the A/B portion of the TRIP button.By pressing the bottom of this button, you can tell how
many miles have been recorded on either Trip A or
Trip B since you last set the odometer back to zero.
Press the RESET part of the button until zeros appear
to reset each trip mode.
If your vehicle is first sold in the United States, the trip
odometer will return to zero after 999.9 miles
(1 609 km). If your vehicle is first sold in Canada, the
trip odometer will return to zero after 1 999.9 km
(1,242 miles). The RESET TRIP A/B button only resets
the trip mode (A or B) that is being displayed. Each
trip mode must be reset individually.Display Mode
This button is located
between the RESET TRIP
A/B button and the
ENG/MET button to the left
of the steering wheel on
the instrument panel.
Press DSPL MODE to turn the backlighting and the
digital speed image on and off.

English (miles) to metric
(kilometers).
Other readings such as temperature, fuel and trip
odometer also go back and forth between English
and metric.
Vehicle Speed Limiter
This feature prevents your vehicle from exceeding
speeds that the tires are not rated for. When this
happens, the engine’s fuel supply is shut off. When the
vehicle speed slows, the fuel supply will come on again.
Tachometer
This gage indicates
the engine speed in
revolutions per
minute (rpm).
Notice:If you operate the engine with the
tachometer in the shaded warning area, your vehicle
could be damaged, and the damages would not
be covered by your warranty. Do not operate
the engine with the tachometer in the shaded
warning area.
