Your inside rearview mirror includes two reading lamps.
The lamps will go on when a door is opened. When the
doors are closed and the ignition is on, each lamp can be
turned on individually by moving the switch (each lamp
has its own switch) to
ON.
There is also an interior console flood lamp located
underneath the rearview mirror which comes on with the
headlamps or parking lamps.
Inadvertent Load Control
If the underhood lamp, vanity mirror lamps, reading
lamps, console or glove box lamps
are accidentally left
on, the power load will time out after
15 minutes. To
reset it, all of the above lamps must be turned off or the
key must be in the
ON position.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Window Defogger
@ This button turns the rear defogger and heated
outside mirrors on. The light on the button will come
on when operating. The system automatically shuts
off
after approximately 10 minutes. If further defogging is
desired, press the button again.
The rear window defogger operates only when the
engine is running.
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
Do not attach
anything like a temporary vehicle license or a decal
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something sharp on
the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
Defogging and Defrosting
To rapidly defrost the windshield, the FRONT defrost
mode (electronic dual climate control system) or defrost
mode (manual control system) should be used and the
fan speed should be adjusted to the highest speed. With
the manual control system, turn the temperature control
knob all the way to the red area.
To keep the windshield clear and provide heated air to
the floor area of the vehicle, use the
DEFOG setting.
Your vehicle is equipped with side window defogger
vents located near the side rearview mirrors.
Ventilation System
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the fan is running.
Ventilation Tips
0 Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to be
impaired
-- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
0

Don't drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the
glare from headlamps behind you.
Since you can't see as well, you may need to
slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.
Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only
so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you're tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
Night Vision
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase. A 50-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to see the
same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
What you
do in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you
are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will
have less trouble adjusting to night. But
if you're
driving, don't wear sunglasses at night. They may cut
down on glare from headlamps, but they also make a lot
of things invisible.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”?
Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel?
Call it
highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the road,
the drone
of the engine, and the rush of the wind against
the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t let it happen to you!
If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less
than a second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be
aware that it can happen.
Then here are some tips:

Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a
comfortably cool interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to
the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull
off the road into a rest, service
or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from driving in flat or rolling terrain.
