N(Delay):You can set the wiper speed for a
long or short delay between wipes. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band
to choose the delay time. The closer to the top
of the lever, the shorter the delay.
6(Low Speed):For steady wiping at low
speed, turn the band away from you to the
rst solid position past the delay settings.
1(High Speed):For high-speed wiping, turn
the band to the second solid position past the
delay settings.
9(Off):To stop the wipers, move the band to off.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they’re frozen to
the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become worn or damaged,
get new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
QL(Washer Fluid):There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top
of the multifunction lever. To spray washer uid on
the windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will
clear the window and then either stop or return to
your preset speed.

Headlamps on Reminder
If a door is open, a reminder chime will sound when
the headlamps or parking lamps are manually
turned on and your key is out of the ignition. To turn
off the chime, turn the headlamp switch to off and
then back on. In the automatic mode, the
headlamps turn off once the ignition is in LOCK.
If your vehicle was rst sold in Canada and the
parking lamps are turned on manually, the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) will stay on.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
The transmission is not in PARK (P) if you
have an automatic transmission.
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
Your vehicle will have either the parking lamps or
reduced intensity low beams used as the DRL.
When the DRL are on, only those lamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarkers, and other lamps will
not be on. The instrument panel will not be lit
up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular
headlamps.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.

Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on
when you remove the key from the ignition.
The lamps will not come on if the dome override
button is pressed in.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage, you may
see the voltage move up or down. This is normal.
If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamp if it is left on
for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is
in LOCK. This will help prevent your battery from
running down.

Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may have an ashtray and cigarette
lighter.
Your ashtray is located in your center console
area. The ashtray can be removed for cleaning.
When the ashtray is removed, this area can
also be used as a cupholder.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other
ammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle.
Never put ammable items in the ashtray.
To use the lighter, press it in all the way, and let
go. When it’s ready, it will pop back out by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating will not allow the lighter to back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating may occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be
blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in
while it is heating.
Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation for your vehicle.
Temperature Knob
The left knob on the control panel is used to
adjust the temperature of the air in the vehicle.
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the temperature.

Fan Knob
9
(Fan):The center knob on the control panel
is used to control the fan speed. Turn the
knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the fan speed.
If the knob is set on “0” (zero), some outside air
will still enter the vehicle and will be directed
according to the position of the mode knob.
Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel is used to
direct the air ow inside your vehicle. Turn the knob
to select one of the following modes:
H(Vent):Select this mode to direct air to the
instrument panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level):Select this mode to direct
approximately half of the air to the instrument
panel outlets, and the remaining air to the
oor outlets and the defroster and side window
outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets
and warmer air to the oor outlets.
[(Floor):Select this mode to direct air to the
oor outlets. Recirculation is disabled in this mode
because interior window could fog under some
conditions. If this occurs, see “Defogging and
Defrosting” following.
Mode Buttons
@
(Recirculation):This mode recirculates air
inside the cabin, and prevents outside air from
coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside odors from entering your vehicle and
cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Press
this button to turn the recirculation mode on or
off. An indicator light on the button will come on to
let you know the recirculation mode is activated.
Recirculation is only available in the bi-level
and vent modes. It should only be used while in
bi-level and vent modes. Recirculation is not
available, and the light will not come on or ash
while in heat, oor, oor/defog, or defrost modes.
