MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
A single ball joint mirror is provided in the
vehicle. It is a twist on mirror that has a fixed
position. The mirror head can be adjusted up,
down, left, and right for various drivers. The
mirror should be adjusted to center on the view
through the rear window.
Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can
be reduced by moving the small control under
the mirror to the night position (toward the rear
of the vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted
while set in the day position (toward the wind-
shield).
Automatic Dimming Mirror —
If Equipped
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight
glare from vehicles behind you. You can turn
the feature on or off by pressing the button at
the base of the mirror. A light in the button will
illuminate to indicate when the dimming feature
is activated. The mirror is twisted on the wind-
shield button counterclockwise and requires no
tools for mounting.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during clean-
ing, never spray any cleaning solution directly
onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto a clean
cloth and wipe the mirror clean.
Outside MirrorsTo receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside
mirrors to center on the adjacent lane of traffic
with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the
inside mirror.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the pas-
senger side convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than they really are. Relying
too much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide with another
vehicle or other object. Use your inside mirror
when judging the size or distance of a vehicle
seen in the passenger side convex mirror.
Some vehicles will not have a convex passen-
ger side mirror.

ing could result in serious injury or death.
LIGHTS
Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located on the left side
of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel. The headlight switch controls the opera-
tion of the headlights, parking lights, instrument
panel lights, cargo lights and fog lights (if
equipped).To turn on the headlights, rotate
the headlight switch clockwise.
When the headlight switch is on
the parking lights, taillights, li-
cense plate light and instrument
panel lights are also turned on. To
turn off the headlights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (Off) position.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with plastic
headlight and fog light (if equipped)
lenses that are lighter and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass lights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass
and therefore different lens cleaning pro-
cedures must be followed.
• To minimize the possibility of scratching
the lenses and reducing light output,
avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove
road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution
followed by rinsing.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other abrasive materi-
als to clean the lenses.
Automatic Headlights — If EquippedThis system automatically turns the headlights
on or off according to ambient light levels. To
turn the system on, rotate the headlight switch
to the A (AUTO) position.
When the system is on, the Headlight Delay
feature is also on. This means the headlights
will stay on for up to 90 seconds after you turn
the ignition switch to the OFF position. To turn
the automatic headlights off, turn the headlight
switch out of the AUTO position.

Headlight DelayTo aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with
a headlight delay that will leave the headlights
on for approximately 90 seconds. This delay is
initiated when the ignition is turned OFF while
the headlight switch is on, and then the head-
light switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can
be cancelled by either turning the headlight
switch on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
The headlight delay time is programmable on
vehicles equipped with an Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Parking Lights and Panel Lights
To turn on the parking lights and instru-
ment panel lights, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise. To turn off the park-
ing lights, rotate the headlight switch back to
the O (Off) position.
Front and Rear Fog Lights —
If Equipped
The front and rear fog lights may be operated
as desired when visibility is poor due to fog.
The fog lights will activate in the following order:
Press the headlight switch once and the front
fog lights come on. Press the switch a second
time and the rear fog lights will come on (front
fog lights stay on). Press the switch a third time
and the rear fog lights turn off (front fog stays
on). Press the switch a fourth times and the
front fog turns off. For vehicles without front fog,
rear fog will activate on the first press.
Interior LightsCourtesy and dome lights are turned on when
the front doors are opened, when the dimmer
control (rotating wheel on the right side of the
headlight switch) is rotated to the its farthest
upward position, or if equipped, when the UN-
LOCK button is pressed on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter. When a door is open
and the interior lights are on, rotating the dim-
mer control all the way down, to the OFF detent,
will cause all the interior lights to go out. This is
also known as the “Party” mode because it
allows the doors to stay open for extended
periods of time without discharging the vehi-
cle’s battery.
