If your vehicle has
power door locks,
push the power door
lock switch to lock or
unlock all the doors at
once.
The power door lock switch will not lock or unlock the rear hatch and Dutch
doors.
You must use the HATCH REL switch. See “Rear Hatch and Dutch
Doors Release’’ in this section.
Every vehicle with power door locks has
a pulse lock system. A pulse lock
system works like this:
If the sliding door is open and you push the power door lock switch, the
sliding door will not lock immediately. After
you close the door, the system
comes on and, in about five seconds, locks the sliding door.
All models have overriding door locks. When
a door is locked, the door
handle will not work the latch. This will help stop a door from being
accidentally opened. However, power door locks do
not affect the operation
of the hatch.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your door and set the
locks from inside. Then get
out and close the door.
Keyless Entry System
If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or hatch
from up to
30 feet (9 m) away using the key chain transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your Keyless Entry System operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules.

m
Digital Cluster

I
The red charging system light is on the bottom driver's-side corner of your
standard cluster. It is part
of the digital cluster voltmeter.
The charging system light will come on briefly when you
turn the ignition
on, but the engine is not running, as a check
to show you the light is
working.
Then it should go out once the engine is running. If it stays on, or
comes
on while you are driving, you may have a problem with the electrical
charging system. It could indicate that you have a loose accessory drive belt,
or another electrical problem. Have it checked right away. Driving while
this light is
on could drain your battery.
If you must drive
a short distance with the light on, be certain to turn off all
your accessories, such as the radio and heatedair conditioner.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine BLEND - With this setting, the heated outside air comes out both the
heater
vents and defroster vents, with some air coming through the side
window vents. Adjust the temperature lever
for warmer or cooler air. This
setting
is useful for cold weather with a large number of passengers or very
humid conditions
to help keep the windshield clear. The A/C compressor
may operate in this setting
to dehumidify the air.
HTR (Heater)
- Most of the air comes out near the floor. The rest comes
out from the defroster vents under the windshield and at the front side
windows. This
is best for cold weather.
VENT
- The air comes out at the vents on your instrument panel. The air
conditioner will not run. Adjust the temperature lever for warmer or cooler air.
BI-LEV A/C - With this, outside air comes out through the heater floor
vent and the instrument panel vents. If you move your temperature control
lever between cold and hot, cooler air
will come out of the upper vents
while warmer air comes
out of the floor vent. This setting is useful in cool
weather with bright sunlight.
NORM A/C - This setting cools the outside air. If you first used MAX
A/C, use NORM A/C
as soon as the vehicle has cooled down, so outside air
will be going through your vehicle.
MAX A/C -This cools the air the fastest. Move
the other lever all the way to
Cold. MAX A/C lets in only a little air from the outside. You can use MAX A/C
at first when
it's really hot outside and you need to cool off quickly.
When
the air conditioning, defrost or BLEND is on, you may notice a slight
increase or decrease in engine speed, due
to compressor operation.
Engine Coolant Heater (Option)
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before starting your engine,
your heating system will produce warmer air faster to heat the passenger
compartment
in cold weather. See "Engine Coolant Heater" in the Index.
Rear Heater (Option)
You may have the
optional rear heater.
The three speed fan
switch is above the
radio. Slide
the lever
toward
HI for warmer
air in the rear area.
Move the switch to
OFF to turn the
system off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Air Conditioning (Option)
You may have rear air
conditioning. The rear
air conditioning
switch
is located
above the radio at the
top
of the instrument
panel. Slide the lever
toward
HI for cooler
air in the rear
area.
Slide the lever to OFF
to turn the system off.
If your vehicle has rear air conditioning, setting it on LO may enhance front
A/C performance by allowing trapped refrigerant in rear lines to circulate.
The system will only send cooled air if the front system is on. It can still
be
used to circulate air, even if the front system is off.
Before
using the rear air conditioning, open the windows to clear the vehicle
of hot air. Close the windows when using the system.
Rear Window Defogger (Option)
If your vehicle has this option, the rear window will have lines running
across the glass. These lines heat your window.
For best results, clear the window of as much snow or ice as possible before
using the
rear window defogger.
To
turn on the rear
window defogger, find
the switch marked
REAR DEFOG on
your instrument panel
to the left of the
steering column. Press
the top
of this switch
until the light in the
switch comes on, then
release it.
The rear window defogger will only work when the ignition switch
is in the
RUN position.

in the center and on
the sides of your
instrument panel.

of air, or close the vents
altogether. When you close a vent, it will increase the flow of air coming out
of any vents that are open.
If your vehicle doesn’t have air conditioning, there is an air vent in the
passenger-side kick panel below the instrument panel. The vent has a
handle to open and close it.
