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.

?(Recirculation):This mode keeps outside air
from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or
to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more
quickly. Press this button to turn the recirculation mode
on or off. When the button is pressed, an indicator
light will come on. The air-conditioning compressor also
comes on.
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,
seeClimate Controls Personalization on page 3-36.

•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

How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. SeeRecommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 6-12.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on the
dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It does not take much fluid, generally less than one
pint (0.5 L). Do not overfill.
Notice:Use of automatic transaxle fluid labeled
other than DEXRON
®-III may damage your vehicle,
and the damages may not be covered by your
warranty. Always use DEXRON
®-III labeled automatic
transaxle fluid.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described underHow to Check.
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way and turn the handle
clockwise. Reinstall the engine air cleaner/filter
assembly.
How to Reset the Transaxle Fluid
Change Indicator
Once the transaxle fluid has been changed, the
transaxle fluid change indicator must be reset. Use the
following steps to reset the indicator:
1. Press the INFO button on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) until TRANS FLUID LIFE is displayed.
2. Press and hold the INFO RESET button until 100%
is displayed.
The indicator is now reset. The percentage of transaxle
fluid life remaining may be checked at any time by
pressing the INFO button several times until the TRANS
FLUID LIFE message appears.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL®engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if you add
only DEX-COOL
®extended life coolant.
The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when it is low. If you have a problem
with engine overheating, seeEngine Overheating on
page 5-26.
