There is a delay in the transition between
the daytime and nighttime operation of the
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic
headlamp system so that driving under bridges
or bright overhead street lights does not affect
the system. The DRL and automatic headlamp
system will only be affected when the light sensor
detects a change in lighting lasting longer than
the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take about one minute for the automatic headlamp
system to change to DRL if it is light outside.
During that delay, the instrument panel cluster
may not be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness control is in
the full bright position. SeeInstrument Panel
Brightness on page 174.Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, you can use them
for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
Your parking lamps and/or low-beam headlamps
must be on for your fog lamps to work.
The fog lamp button is
located near the exterior
lamps control.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on while
the headlamps or parking lamps are on. Press the
button again to turn them off. An indicator light
will glow in the button when the fog lamps are on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as
much light as your headlamps. Never use your fog
lamps in the dark without turning on the headlamps.
The fog lamps will go off whenever your
high-beam headlamps come on. When the high
beams go off, the fog lamps will come on again.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
173

Dome Lamp Override
E(Dome Override):Press this button, located
below the exterior lamp control, to turn the
dome lamp off even when a door is opened.
SeeExterior Lamps on page 170for more
information on location.
To return the lamp to automatic operation,
press the button again.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come
on when you remove the key from the ignition.
The lamps will not come on if the dome override
button is pressed in.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM)
that estimates the battery’s temperature and state
of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for best
performance and extended life of the battery.When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage, you may
see the voltage move up or down. This is normal.
If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical
loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles.
This is because the generator (alternator) may not
be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the
power that is needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged
into accessory power outlets.Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamp if it is left
on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition
is in LOCK. This will help prevent your battery
from running down.
175

Temperature Knob
The left knob on the control panel is used to
adjust the temperature of the air in the vehicle.
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the temperature.
Fan Knob
9
(Fan):The center knob on the control panel
is used to control the fan speed. Turn the knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the fan speed.
If the knob is set on “0” (zero), some outside air
will still enter the vehicle and will be directed
according to the position of the mode knob.
Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel is used to
direct the airow inside your vehicle. Turn the
knob to select one of the following modes:
H(Vent):Select this mode to direct air to
the instrument panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level):Select this mode to direct
approximately half of the air to the instrument
panel outlets, and the remaining air to the
oor outlets and the defroster and side window
outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets
and warmer air to the oor outlets.
[(Floor):Select this mode to direct air to the
oor outlets. Recirculation is disabled in this mode
because interior window could fog under some
conditions. If this occurs, see “Defogging and
Defrosting” following.
Mode Buttons
@
(Recirculation):This mode recirculates air
inside the cabin, and prevents outside air from
coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside odors from entering your vehicle and
cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Press
this button to turn the recirculation mode on or
off. An indicator light on the button will come on to
let you know the recirculation mode is activated.
178

Recirculation is only available in the bi-level and
vent modes. It should only be used while in bi-level
and vent modes. Recirculation is not available,
and the light will not come on or ash while in heat,
oor, oor/defog, or defrost modes.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. An indicator
light on the button will come on to let you know
the air conditioning is activated. When the system
is on, this setting cools and dehumidies the
air entering your vehicle.
The air conditioning will not function if the fan is
turned off.
You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal.
The system is designed to make adjustments to
help with fuel economy while still maintaining
the selected temperature.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.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 or frost from your
windshield and side windows. Use the defog
mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and
warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly. For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before defrosting.
179

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 specically 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.
Dust may be removed from small buttons and
knobs using a small brush with soft bristles.
Your dealer/retailer has a product for cleaning your
vehicle’s glass. Should it become necessary, you
can also obtain a product from your dealer/retailer
to remove odors from your vehicle’s upholstery.
