DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (IF
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Always remember to switch your
headlamps on in low light situations
or during inclement weather. The
Daytime Running Lamp system does not
activate the tail lamps and may not
provide adequate lighting during these
conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may
result in a collision.
To switch the Daytime Running Lamp
system on:
1. Turn the ignition to the on position.
2. Switch the lighting control to the off,
autolamp or parking lamp position.
Vehicles With Halogen Headlamps
The Daytime Running Lamp system
switches the low beam headlamps on at
a reduced intensity in day light conditions.
Vehicle With High Intensity
Discharge Headlamps
The Daytime Running Lamp system
switches the fog lamps on in day light
conditions (Not available in all markets).
FRONT FOG LAMPS
E142453

on or off.
You can switch the fog lamps on when the
lighting control is in any position except
Off and the high beams are not on.
DIRECTION INDICATORS
E162681

direction indicators.
Note:Tap the lever up or down to make the

75
Lighting

Fog Lamps - Front (If Equipped)
It will illuminate when you switch
the front fog lamps on.
High Beam
It will illuminate when you switch
the high beam headlamps on. It
will flash when you use the
headlamp flasher.
Information (If Equipped)
It will illuminate when a new
message is stored in the
information display. It will be red
or amber in color depending on the severity
of the message and will remain on until the
cause of the message has been rectified.
See Information Messages (page 91).
Low Fuel Level
It will illuminate when the fuel
level is low or the fuel tank is
nearly empty. Refuel as soon as
possible.
Low Tire Pressure Warning
It will illuminate when your tire
pressure is low. If the lamp
remains on with the engine
running or when driving, check
your tire pressure as soon as possible.
It will also illuminate momentarily when
you switch the ignition on to confirm the
lamp is functional. If it does not illuminate
when you switch the ignition on, or begins
to flash at any time, have the system
checked by your authorized dealer.
Parking Lamps
It will illuminate when you switch
the parking lamps on.
Service Engine Soon
If the service engine soon
indicator light stays illuminated
after the engine is started, it
indicates that the On-Board Diagnostics
(OBD-II) system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emissions
control system. Refer to On-Board
Diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Fuel and
Refueling chapter for more information
about having your vehicle serviced. See
Emission Control System (page 132).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle
serviced immediately.
Note:Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first turned
on prior to engine start to check the bulb
and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready
for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until the engine is cranked, then
turn itself off if no malfunctions are
present. However, if after 15 seconds the
service engine soon light blinks eight times,
it means that the vehicle is not ready for
I/M testing. See Emission Control
System (page 132).

MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
E141421
AEBDC
Fan speed control: Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Adjust
to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you switch the fan off, the
windshield may fog up. A
Recirculated air: Press to switch between outside air and recirculated air.
When you select recirculated air, the button illuminates and the air currently in
the passenger compartment recirculates. This can reduce the time needed to
cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors from entering your vehicle. B
Temperature control: Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your
vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature. If you select MAX A/C, the
system distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel air vents. This
mode is more economical and efficient than normal air conditioning. When the
temperature control is in the MAX A/C position, you cannot turn off air
conditioning or recirculated air. C
Air conditioning: Press to switch the air conditioning off and on. Air conditioning
cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three minutes. D
Air distribution control: Adjust to select the desired air distribution. E
Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the instrument panel and floor
air vents.
Select to distribute air through
the floor air vents.
Select to distribute air through
