Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The driver’s window switch has an express down feature
that allows the window to be lowered without holding
the switch. Press and hold the side
of the window switch
marked AUTO for one second to activate the express
down mode. The express down mode can be canceled at
any time
by pressing the opposite side of the switch. To
open the window partway, lightly tap the switch until the
window is at the desired position.

you have a four-door vehicle and power windows, the
power window switch has a lockout feature. This feature
prevents the rear windows from operating except from
the driver’s position, when the front driver’s side switch
is in LOCK. When the switch is moved to NORM, the
rear power windows will operate again.

Mirror Operation
The right side of the switch located at the bottom of the
mirror turns the electrochromic mirror on and
off. The
AUTO LED will come on when the electrochromic mirror
is turned on. To
turn the mirror on, press and hold the
MIRROR button for three seconds. The mirror will darken
and remain dark until the button
is released. To turn the
mirror
off, press and release the MIRROR button. Press
COMP to turn the compass
on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the
compass will show two character boxes for
approximately two seconds. After two seconds, the
mirror will display the compass heading.
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar
material dampened with glass cleaner.
Do not spray
glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the
liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.
Compass Calibration
If after two seconds the display does not show a
compass heading
(“N” for North, for example), there
may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the
compass.
Such interference may be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or
a
similar magnetic item. If the letter “C” should ever
appear in the compass window, the mirror may
need calibration.
The mirror can be calibrated
in one of two ways:
0 Drive the vehicle in circles at five mph (8 kmh) or
less until the display reads a direction,
or
0 Drive the vehicle on your everyday routine.

allow second seat passengers to adjust the controls as
they desire.
Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
air inside escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The recirculation button, between the fan and
temperature knobs, allows the air inside your vehicle to
be recirculated. This setting helps to maximize your air conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s
fuel
economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest and
can be used to keep unwanted odors and/or dust from
entering the vehicle. When using the air conditioner,
turn off recirculation after the vehicle reaches a
comfortable interior temperature. When the right knob
on the control panel is between HEATER and
DEFROST, the recirculation feature will not function.
The A/C button, between the temperature and mode
knobs, allows the air coming into your vehicle to
be
cooled. This setting is useful for normal cooling on hot
days. When
you use A/C with the recirculation button
pushed in, turn off recirculation as soon as the vehicle
reaches a comfortable interior temperature.
With the A/C on, move the temperature knob to MAX
for maximum cooling. This setting also puts the system
in the recirculation mode and helps to maximize your
air conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s fuel
economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest. After
the vehicle’s interior reaches a comfortable temperature,
move the temperature knob clockwise to place the air
conditioning system in the normal mode.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Heating Ventilation System
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use the HEATER or
VENT/HEAT setting with the temperature knob in
the
red area.
If you use the engine coolant heater before starting your
engine in cold weather,
20°F (-8 O C) or lower, your
heating system will produce warmer air faster, to heat
the passenger compartment in cold weather.
The use
of an engine coolant heater also reduces the
time it takes for the engine to reach normal operating
temperature, and shortens the time it takes the heater to
reach full output. For more information, see “Engine
Coolant Heater” in the Index. For
mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Air will flow through the
instrument panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air
to the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. With
the side windows closed, air will flow into the front
air inlet grilles, through the vehicle, and out the air
exhaust valves.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or
the air conditioning fan
is running, unless you have the
recirculation button pushed
in. For more information on
the recirculation button, see
“Air Conditioning” earlier
in this section.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ventilation Tips
Your vehicle has air outlets in the center and on the sides
of your instrument panel. You can move the outlets from
side to side or up and down to direct the flow of air, or
close the outlets altogether. When you close
an outlet, it
will increase the flow
of air coming out of any outlets
that are open. These outlets do not completely shut off
airflow when in a closed vent position.

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 your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan to
HI for a few moments before driving.
This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance
of fogging the
inside
of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
The use of hood air deflectors may adversely
affect the performance of the heating and air
conditioning system.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use DEFOG to keep the
windshield and side windows clear. Use DEFROST to
remove fog or ice from the windshield in extremely
humid or cold conditions. Use DEFROST with the
temperature knob toward the red area and the fan control
toward HI.
Rear Window Defogger (If Equipped)
If you see lines running across the rear window, you
have a rear window defogger. The lines warm the glass.
To
turn on the rear window
defogger, press this button
next to the fan control
knob.
The rear window defogger
will only work if the ignition
switch is turned to RUN. For
best results, first clear the
window of as much snow
or ice as possible. The
defogger will shut itself off after several minutes. If
you need additional warming time, press the button
again.
You can turn the defogger off at any time by
pressing the button.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
