Headlamps on Reminder
If a door is open, a reminder chime sounds when the
headlamps or parking lamps are manually turned on
and the key is out of the ignition. To turn off the chime,
turn the headlamp switch to off and then back on.
In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once
the ignition is in LOCK/OFF.
For vehicles rst sold in Canada, if the parking
lamps are turned on manually, the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) will stay on.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running lamps are required
on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
The transmission is not in P (Park) if you have an
automatic transmission.
The light sensor determines it is daytime.When the DRL are on, only the parking lamps or
reduced intensity low beam headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarkers, and other lamps will not
be on. The instrument panel will not be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps.
The regular headlamp system should be turned on
when needed.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the automatic headlamp
system will turn on after the transmission has been
shifted from P (Park) to D (Drive). The headlamps,
taillamps, sidemarker, parking lamps, roof marker
lamps, and the instrument panel lights turn on at normal
brightness. The radio lights will become more dim when
the headlights are off compared to when the headlights
are on.
The vehicle has a light sensor located on the top of
the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor, or the
system will be on whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.

9(Fan Control):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.
Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn the knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to change the current air ow mode.
Select from the following modes:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
\(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the instrument
panel outlets and oor and side window outlets. Cooler
air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to
the oor outlets.
[(Floor):Air is directed to the oor outlets.
Recirculation cannot be selected while in oor mode
because this could cause the interior window to fog.
/(Floor/Defog):This mode clears the windows of
fog or moisture. Air is directed to the oor, windshield,
and side window outlets. When this mode is selected,
the system runs the air conditioning compressor unless
the outside temperature is near freezing or below.
Recirculation is not available in this mode.
0(Defrost):This mode clears the windshield of fog
or frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield
and side window outlets. When this mode is selected,
the system runs the air conditioning compressor unless
the outside temperature is near, or below freezing.
Recirculation is not available in this mode.

#(Air Conditioning):Press to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator light on the button
comes on to show that the air conditioning is on.
The fan control must be on to use the air conditioning.
There might be 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 a small amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
@(Recirculation):Press to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. An indicator light on the button comes on
to show that the recirculation mode is on. This mode
recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors
from entering the vehicle.
