Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, use them for better
visibility in foggy or misty conditions. The band
located on the middle of the turn signal/
multifunction lever controls the fog lamps.
While using the fog lamps, the ignition must be
turned to ON and the low-beam headlamps
or parking lamps must be on.
Turn the band to ON to turn the fog lamps on. An
indicator light will come on in the secondary
information center on the hatchback or in the
instrument panel cluster on the sedan, when the
fog lamps are on. SeeFog Lamp Light on
page 185.
Turn the band to OFF to turn the fog lamps off.
The fog lamps will also turn off when the
high-beam headlamps are turned on. When the
high-beam headlamps are turned off, the fog lamps
will turn on again.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
This feature controls the brightness of the
instrument panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering
column. Turn the thumbwheel to brighten or dim
the lights.

To change the current mode, select one of the
following from the right knob:
Y(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets, and then
directs the remaining air to the floor outlets.
[(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the floor outlets. Some of the air will also be
directed to the rear outlets. Be sure to keep the
area under the front seats clear to allow the flow of
air to the rear compartment.
The right knob can also be used to select the
defog and defrost modes. Information on defogging
and defrosting can be found later in this section.
?(Recirculation):This mode keeps outside air
from coming into 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.
If your vehicle has a recirculation button (uplevel
model), press the button to turn the recirculation
mode on. When the button is pressed, an indicatorlight in the button will come on. Press the button
again to return to outside air mode.
If your vehicle has a lever (base model), move the
lever to choose the recirculation mode.
Using the recirculation mode for extended periods
may cause your windows to fog. If this happens,
select the defrost mode.
:(Outside Air):This mode brings outside air
into the vehicle.
If your vehicle has a recirculation button (uplevel
model), press the button until the recirculation
mode is turned off. Your vehicle will then return to
outside air mode.
If your vehicle has a lever (base model), move the
lever to choose the outside air mode.
A/C (Air Conditioning):If your vehicle has air
conditioning, follow these steps to use the system.
Start the engine and set the fan control knob to the
desired speed. The air conditioning compressor
does not operate when the fan control knob is in the
off position. Press the A/C button to turn the air
conditioning compressor on and off. When the A/C
button is pressed, an indicator light in the button
will come on to let you know that air conditioning
is activated.
151

1(Defrost):This mode directs the air to the
windshield and the outboard outlets for the
side windows. A small amount of air is also
directed to the instrument panel side outlets. When
you select this mode, the system runs the
air-conditioning compressor. To defrost the
windows faster, turn the temperature control knob
clockwise to the warmest setting.
Do not drive the vehicle until all windows are clear.
Rear Window and Outside Mirror
Defogger
Your vehicle may have a rear window and outside
mirror defogger. This feature will only work
when the ignition is turned to ON.
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
Before using this feature, clear as much snow
from the rear window as possible.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
to turn the rear window and outside mirror
defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button
will come on to let you know that the feature is
activated.
If your vehicle does not have air conditioning, the
rear window defogger will remain on until the
button is pressed again or the engine is turned off.
If your vehicle has air conditioning, the rear
window defogger will turn off about 10 minutes
after the button is pressed. The defogger can also
be turned off by pressing the button again or by
turning the engine off.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to the
defogger grid.
153

The oil light could also come on in three other
situations:
•When the ignition is on but the engine is not
running, the light will come on as a test to
show you it is working. The light will go
out when you turn the ignition on. If it does
not come on with the ignition on, you
may have a problem with the fuse or bulb.
Have it fixed right away.
•If you make a hard stop, the light may come
on for a moment. This is normal.
{CAUTION:
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is
low. If you do, your engine can become so
hot that it catches re. You or others could
be burned. Check your oil as soon as
possible and have your vehicle serviced.Notice:Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
may damage the engine. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always follow
the maintenance schedule in this manual for
changing engine oil.
Fog Lamp Light
If your vehicle has this
feature, the fog lamps
light will come on
when the fog lamps
are in use.
The light will go out when the fog lamps are
turned off. SeeFog Lamps on page 146for more
information.

Fog Lamp Light
If your vehicle has this
feature, the fog lamps
light will come on
when the fog lamps are
in use.
The light will go out when the fog lamps are
turned off. SeeFog Lamps on page 146for more
information.

is open, you will also hear a warning chime.
185

Fixed Mast Antenna (Hatchback)
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car
washes without being damaged. If the mast should
ever become slightly bent, straighten it out by
hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened to the antenna base located on the
roof of the vehicle. If tightening is required, tighten
by hand.
Backglass Antenna (Sedan)
The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the rear
window defogger, located in the rear window. Make
sure that the inside surface of the rear window is
not scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface is damaged, it could
interfere with radio reception. Also, for proper radio
reception, the antenna connector at the top-center
of the rear window needs to be properly attached to
the post on the glass.
Notice:Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting
with metallic lm. The metallic lm in some
tinting materials will interfere with or distort the
incoming radio reception. Any damage causedto your backglass antenna due to metallic
tinting materials will not be covered by your
warranty.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object to
clear the inside rear window may damage
the rear window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not clear the
inside rear window with sharp objects.
Because this antenna is built into your rear
window, there is a reduced risk of damage caused
by car washes and vandals.
If static is heard on the radio, when the rear
window defogger is turned on, it could mean that
a defogger grid line has been damaged. If this
is true, the grid line must be repaired.
If you choose to add a cellular telephone to your
vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached
to the glass, make sure that you do not damage
the grid lines for the AM-FM antenna. There
is enough space between the lines to attach a
cellular telephone antenna without interfering with
radio reception.

Do not use your compact spare on other vehicles.
And do not mix your compact spare tire or
wheel with other wheels or tires. They will not fit.
Keep your spare tire and its wheel together.
Notice:Tire chains will not t your compact
spare. Using them can damage your vehicle
and can damage the chains too. Do not use tire
chains on your compact spare.
Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its
best if it is cleaned often. Although not always
visible, dust and dirt can accumulate on your
upholstery. Dirt can damage carpet, fabric, leather,
and plastic surfaces. Regular vacuuming is
recommended to remove particles from your
upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled.
Soils should be removed as quickly as possible.
Your vehicle’s interior may experience extremes of
heat that could cause stains to set rapidly.Lighter colored interiors may require more
frequent cleaning. Use care because newspapers
and garments that transfer color to your home
furnishings may also transfer color to your
vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning your vehicle’s interior, only use
cleaners specifically designed for the surfaces
being cleaned. Permanent damage may result
from using cleaners on surfaces for which
they were not intended. Use glass cleaner only on
glass. Remove any accidental over-spray from
other surfaces immediately. To prevent over-spray,
apply cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.
Notice:If you use abrasive cleaners when
cleaning glass surfaces on your vehicle, you
could scratch the glass and/or cause damage
to the rear window defogger. When cleaning
the glass on your vehicle, use only a soft cloth
and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in your vehicle’s breathing space.
Before using cleaners, read and adhere to all safety
instructions on the label. While cleaning your
vehicle’s interior, maintain adequate ventilation by
opening your vehicle’s doors and windows.
