To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, turn the control to the off position.
You may be able to turn off your Automatic
Headlamp System. SeeDaytime Running Lamps
(DRL) on page 222for more information.
Your headlamps will also stay on after you exit the
vehicle. You can program this feature using the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization (With DIC Buttons) on page 289.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when needed.
Puddle Lamps
Your vehicle may have puddle lamps, that come
on when it is dark outside to help you see the area
near the base of the front doors. The puddle
lamps will come on when a door is opened, or
when you press the unlock button on the Remote
Keyless Entry Transmitter. The lamps will time
out or turn off once the engine is started.
Fog Lamps
-(Fog Lamps):If your vehicle has fog lamps,
the button is located on the instrument panel
to the left of the steering column and below the
dome lamp override button.
The ignition must be in RUN and the parking
lamps must be on for the fog lamps to work.
To turn the fog lamps on, press the fog lamps
button. A light comes on in the instrument
panel cluster to let you know that the fog lamps
are on. Press the button again to turn the fog
lamps off.
When the fog lamps are turned on, the low-beam
headlamps automatically turn on.
The fog lamps turn off while you change to
high-beam headlamps. When the high-beam
headlamps go off, the fog lamps will come
on again.
Fog lamps should only be used in foggy conditions
since they could be distracting to oncoming
drivers in clear weather conditions.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
224

Your vehicle may also have reading lamps in
other locations. To turn the lamps on or off, press
the button located next to the lamp.
If your vehicle has a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system, press the lamp lenses to turn the
lamps on or off.
The lamps are xed and cannot be adjusted.
Cargo Lamp
The cargo lamps come on by turning the
instrument panel brightness control knob to the
farthest clockwise position. This knob is located on
the instrument panel and also turns on the
dome lamps.
The cargo lamp can be used if more light is
needed in the cargo area of the vehicle or in the
top-box storage units.
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 or voltage
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC), 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.
227

:(Outside Air):Press this button to turn the
outside air mode on. When the button is pressed,
an indicator light will come on. When this mode is
on, outside air will circulate throughout the vehicle.
The outside air mode can be used with all modes,
but it cannot be used with the recirculation mode.
Pressing this button again will cancel the
recirculation mode.
?(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
the recirculation mode on. When the button
is pressed, an indicator light will come on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and
prevent odors from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation may also help cool the air inside the
vehicle more quickly once the temperature inside
the vehicle is less than the outside temperature.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defog or defrost modes. If recirculation is selected
with one of these modes, the indicator light will ash
three times and then turn off. While in recirculation
mode the windows may fog when the weather is
cold and damp. To clear the fog, select either the
defog or defrost mode and increase the fan speed.The recirculation mode can be turned off by
pressing the outside air button, or by turning
off the ignition.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. When this
button is pressed, an indicator light on the button
will come on to let you know the air conditioning is
activated. The air conditioning can be selected in
any mode as long as the fan switch is on.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog or frost on the inside of windows is a result of
high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool
window glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. To avoid fogging
windows on rainy and humid days at temperatures
above freezing, run the air conditioning
compressor. It is best to avoid the use of the
recirculation mode, except when maximum A/C
performance is needed or for short times to avoid
exterior odors.
235

Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog
or moisture and warm the passengers. The air
is directed to the windshield, oor outlets, and side
window vents.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost
from the windshield more quickly. A portion of the
air is directed to the windshield and the side
window vents, with some air directed to the oor
vents. The system will automatically force
outside air into the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected in the
defog or defrost mode. When either mode is
selected, the system runs the air conditioning
compressor, unless the outside temperature
is close to freezing. Do not drive the vehicle until
all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has a rear window defogger it uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear
window defogger on or off. An indicator light on
the button will come on to let you know that
the rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN. The rear window defogger
will stay on for approximately 10 minutes after the
button is pressed, unless the ignition is turned
to ACC or LOCK. The defogger can also be turned
off by pressing the button again or by turning off
the engine.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to the
defogger grid.
236

Pressing one of these buttons when the system is
off will turn the system on. Pressing one of
these buttons when in automatic control will place
the fan under manual control. The fan setting
will remain displayed and the AUTO light will turn
off. The air delivery mode will remain under
automatic control.
yNz(Mode):Press the mode up and down
buttons to manually change the direction of
the airow in your vehicle. Repeatedly press the
button until the desired mode appears on the
display. Pressing one of these buttons when the
system is off will change air delivery mode without
turning the system on. Pressing one of these
buttons when in automatic control will place the
mode under manual control.
The air delivery mode setting will be displayed and
the AUTO light will turn off. The fan will remain
under automatic control.
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Air is directed partly to the
instrument panel outlets and to the oor outlets. A
little air is directed towards the windshield and
side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the oor outlets, with
some to the windshield, side window outlets,
and second row oor outlets. In this mode, the
system will automatically select outside air.
-(Defog):See “Defogging and Defrosting” later
in this section.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on. When the button is
pressed, an indicator light will come on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and
prevent odors from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation may also help cool the air inside the
vehicle more quickly once the temperature inside
the vehicle is less than the outside temperature.
241

The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defog, or defrost modes. If recirculation is selected
with one of those modes, the indicator light will ash
three times and then turn off. The air conditioning
compressor will also come on when this mode is
activated. While in recirculation mode the windows
may fog when the weather is cold and damp. To
clear the fog, select either the defog or defrost
mode and increase the fan speed.
The recirculation mode can be turned off by
pressing the outside air button, or by turning off
the ignition.
;(Outside Air):Press this button to turn on
the outside air mode. When this mode is selected,
air from outside the vehicle will circulate
throughout your vehicle. An indicator light on the
button will come on to let you know that it is
activated. The outside air mode can be used
with all modes, but it cannot be used with
the recirculation mode.
Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and
off. When air conditioning is selected, an indicator
light comes on to let you know that the air
conditioning has been activated.
Pressing this button when the outside temperature
is too cool for air conditioning makes the air
conditioning indicator ash three times and then
turn off to let you know the air conditioning mode is
not available. If the air conditioning is on and
the outside temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for air conditioning
to be effective, the air conditioning light turns
off to let you know the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This helps to reduce the
time it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also
helps the system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so you might notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath the vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
