A high electrical load occurs when
several of the following are on, such
as: headlamps, high beams, rear
window defogger, climate control fan
at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads
plugged into accessory power
outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive
discharge of the battery. It does this
by balancing the generator's output
and the vehicle's electrical needs.
It can increase engine idle speed to
generate more power whenever
needed. It can temporarily reduce
the power demands of some
accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in
steps or levels, without being
noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action,
this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a DIC battery voltage
and charging message displays, it is
recommended that the driver reduce
the electrical loads as much aspossible. See
Battery Voltage and
Charging Messages 0138 and
Driver Information Center (DIC)
(With DIC Buttons) 0130 orDriver
Information Center (DIC) (Without
DIC Buttons) 0135.
Battery Power Protection
This feature helps prevent the
battery from being drained, if the
interior courtesy lamps or reading
lamps are accidentally left on. If any
of these lamps are left on, they
automatically turn off after
10 minutes, if the ignition is off. The
lamps will not come back on again
until one of the following occurs:
.
The ignition is turned on.
. The exterior lamps control is
turned off, then on again.
The headlamps will time out after
10 minutes, if they are manually
turned on while the ignition is on
or off.

206 Climate Controls
Air Delivery Mode Control :Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
change the current airflow mode.
By positioning the right knob
between two modes, a combination
of those two modes is selected.
H: Air is directed to the instrument
panel outlets.
): Air is divided between the
instrument panel and floor outlets.
Some air is directed toward the
windshield and side window outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper
outlets and warmer air to the floor
outlets.
6: Air is directed to the floor
outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window, and
second row floor outlets. In this
mode, the system automatically
selects outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected while in
floor mode.
-: This clears the windows of fog
or moisture. Air is directed to the
windshield, floor outlets, and side
window vents. When this mode is
selected, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air
conditioning unless the outside
temperature is less than 4 °C (40 °
F). Recirculation cannot be selected
while in the defog mode. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
0:
This clears the windshield of
fog or frost more quickly. Air is
directed to the windshield and side
window vents, with some to the floor
vents. In this mode, outside air is
pulled inside the vehicle.
Recirculation cannot be selected
while in the defrost mode. The air
conditioning system runs
automatically in this setting, unless
the outside temperature is less than
4 °C (40 °F). Do not drive the
vehicle until all windows are clear.
#: Press to turn the air
conditioning system on or off. An
indicator light comes on when A/C is
on. The air conditioning system
does not operate when the outside
temperature is below 4 °C (40 °F).
The indicator light flashes three
times and turns off when outside
conditions affect air conditioning
operation. This is normal. For quicker cool down on hot days:
1. Open the windows to let hot air escape.
2. Select
Hmode.
3. Select
#.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot air has escaped.
7. Once the vehicle's interior temperature is below the
outside temperature, select
@mode for faster cooling.
Using recirculation for long periods
of time could cause the air inside
the vehicle to become too dry. To
prevent this from happening, after
the inside of the vehicle has cooled,
turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so
water might drip under the vehicle
while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.

quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce the
outside air and odors that may enter
the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defrost, or defogging
modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator flashes
three times and turns off. The air
conditioning also comes on when
this mode is activated unless the
outside air temperature is less than
4 °C (40 °F). While in recirculation
mode the windows can fog when
the weather is cold and damp. To
clear the fog, select either the defog
or defrost mode and increase the
fan speed. REAR :
