Foldaway Exterior Mirrors
Push the mirror toward the door window glass. Make sure that you fully
engage the mirror in its support when returning it to its original position.
Power-Folding Mirrors (If Equipped)
Note:Using the mirrors 10 or more times within one minute, or
repeated folding and unfolding of the mirrors while holding the control
down during full travel, may disable the system to protect motors from
overheating. Wait approximately three minutes with your vehicle running,
and up to 10 minutes with your vehicle off, for the system to reset and
for function to return to normal.
Pull the control back to fold the
mirrors.
Loose Mirror
You can manually fold a power-folding mirror by pulling it toward the
door window glass. This may cause the mirror to appear loose and it
needs to be re-synchronized. Pull and hold the control to fold the
mirrors in until movement stops. You hear a click that indicates
re-synchronization. If you do not hear a click, use the control to fold the
mirrors all the way out, then in again. Once you hear the click, the
mirrors operate normally until you fold them manually again.
Heated Exterior Mirror (If Equipped)
The heated exterior mirrors switch on with the heated mirror switch. See
Heated mirrorsin theClimate Controlchapter.
Signal Indicator Mirrors (If Equipped)
The outer portion of the appropriate mirror housing blinks when you
activate the turn signal.
Clearance Lamps (If Equipped)
The lower, outer portion of the mirror housings illuminate when you
switch on the headlamps or parking lamps.

D.A/C:Press to turn air conditioning on or off. Air conditioning cools
the vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
E.Recirculated air:Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When the LED on the button is lit, the air currently in
the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
Note:For better cooling in hot conditions, recirculated air automatically
engages when the air distribution control is in Panel or Panel/Floor
modes and the air conditioning is on. You can switch to fresh air by
pressing the recirculated air button again.
F.MAX A/C:Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This position is more economical and efficient
than normal A/C.
G.Temperature control:Controls the temperature of the air circulated
in your vehicle. Turn to select the desired temperature.
H.Fan speed control:Controls the volume of air circulated in your
vehicle. Turn to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you switch
the fan off, the windshield may fog up.
I.Power:Press to turn the system on and off. When the system is off,
outside air is prevented from entering the vehicle.
GENERAL OPERATING TIPS
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather,
select Defrost. Temperature and fan speed can also be increased to
improve clearing.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air engaged.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base
of the windshield.
Cooling the interior quickly:
1. Adjust the fan speed to the highest speed setting initially and then
adjust it to suit the desired comfort level.
2. Adjust the temperature control to the lowest temperature setting.
3. Adjust the air distribution control to the MAX A/C position.

Recommended settings for cooling:
•Adjust the air distribution control to the A/C position.
If your vehicle is stationary for extended periods during extreme high
ambient temperatures:
•Select the MAX A/C position.
Gas engines:If your vehicle is stationary for long periods of time in
high ambient temperature conditions, your climate control system may
automatically switch from fresh air mode to recirculation mode. This is
normal system operation as it provides protection of the air conditioning
compressor (and related parts). It is recommended that you allow the
system to remain in this mode if it has switched. The system reverts
back to fresh air mode when conditions allow.
For maximum cooling performance, turn the air distribution control to
MAX A/C.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select Panel/Floor.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.
6. To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the
vents located in the middle of the instrument panel.
HEATED MIRRORS (IF EQUIPPED)
Note:Do not remove ice from the mirrors with a scraper or attempt to
readjust the mirror glass if it is frozen in place. These actions could
cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Note:Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror with harsh
abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.
Both mirrors are heated to remove ice, mist and fog when the heated
mirror button is pressed.

1. Fully press the brake pedal.
2. Turn the key to start the engine. The engine may continue cranking
for up to 15 seconds or until your vehicle starts.
Note:If the engine does not start on the first try, wait for a short period
and try again.
If you have difficulty starting the engine when the temperature is below
-13°F (-25°C), press the accelerator pedal slightly and try again.
If the engine does not start after three attempts, wait 10 seconds and
follow this flooded engine procedure.
1. Select positionPorN.
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.
3. Fully press the brake pedal.
4. Start the engine.
Guarding Against Exhaust Fumes
WARNING:If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have
this checked immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if you smell
exhaust fumes. Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take
precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.
Important Ventilating Information
If you stop your vehicle and leave the engine idling for long periods, we
recommend that you do one of the following:
•Open the windows at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters).
•Set your climate control to outside air.

Note:The heater is most effective when outdoor temperatures are below
0°F (-18°C).
The heater acts as a starting aid by warming the engine coolant. This
allows the climate control system to respond quickly. The equipment
includes a heater element (installed in the engine block) and a wire
harness. You can connect the system to a grounded 120–volt A/C
electrical source.
We recommend that you do the following for safe and correct operation:
•Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord that is product certified by
Underwriter’s Laboratory or Canadian Standards Association. This
extension cord must be suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly markedSuitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances.Never use an indoor extension cord outdoors; it could
result in an electric shock or become a fire hazard.
•Use as short an extension cord as possible.
•Do not use multiple extension cords.
•Make sure that when in operation, the extension cord plug and the
heater cord plug connections are free and clear of water. This could
cause an electric shock or fire.
•Make sure your vehicle is parked in a clean area, clear of
combustibles.
•Make sure the heater, heater cord and extension cord are firmly
connected.
•Check for heat anywhere in the electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30 minutes.
•Make sure the system is unplugged and properly stowed before driving
your vehicle. Make sure the protective cover seals the prongs of the
block heater cord plug when not in use.
•Keep plug terminals clean and free of dirt and corrosion.
•Make sure the heater system is checked for proper operation before
winter.

Climate Control System
Have the air conditioning system checked each spring. The refrigerant
charge, cleanliness of the condenser-evaporator cores and belt condition
are essential to system performance.
When the air conditioning system is being used daily, remove the fresh
air filter (if equipped) once each season and check for things such as
dirt and lint. Replace the filter if necessary. Vehicles operating in
unusually dusty conditions may require more frequent filter inspection
and replacement.
Front Axle
Maintaining the front axle alignment to specifications is very important.
A qualified technician should check and maintain the alignment. Regular
inspections should include:
•Toe-in inspection and adjustment (if necessary), particularly with
radial tires.
•Checking for proper tightness of axle mounting U-bolt nuts, attaching
or mounting bolts and nuts.
•Checking the axle for damage, binding, worn parts and adequate
lubrication..
•Checking the kingpins for excessive wear. Also, perform this check
during other scheduled maintenance (such as tire rotation or service,
wheel bearing service and alignment). See the workshop manual for
proper procedures.
Toe-in
It is essential to maintain correct toe-in and tire pressure for optimum
tire wear.
Inspecting steer axle tires in the first 3000–10000 service miles
(5000–16000 service kilometers) generally shows if tires are wearing
normally.
Rapid outside shoulder wear on both tires indicates too much toe-in.
Rapid inside shoulder wear on both tires indicates too much toe-out.
In P&D-type service, there can be a left-to-right steer tire tread life
differential up to 40% depending on routes and other variables.
Follow the tire manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure for
the tire size, load range (ply rating) and steer axle loading typical for
their operation (each steer axle tire equals
1 2steer axle loading).
