•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the vehicle has
“aired out.”
•A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
In extremely cold temperatures, to maximize overall heater performance
it is suggested to not operate the auxiliary system (if equipped) until the
engine temperature gauge crosses into the normal operating range.
For maximum cooling performance (MAX A/C):
1. Select MAX A/C. The system will default to single-zone operation and
set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
2. A/C,
andwill be selected.
3. Fan speed will be increased to the highest speed, but can be adjusted
as desired.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.

HEADLAMP CONTROL
Turns the lamps off.
Turns on the parking lamps,
instrument panel lamps, license
plate lamps and tail lamps.
Turns the low beam headlamps
on.
Adaptive headlamps
The headlamp beams move in the same direction as the steering wheel
which provides more visibility when driving around curves.
•Without adaptive headlamps (1)
•With adaptive headlamps (2)
Note:The system has a power-up
movement check feature. When the
vehicle is started, the lamps track
left to right, then back to center to
alert the driver that the system is
working properly. There is a delay of
two to five seconds before the
adaptive headlamp system will
operate when the vehicle is driven,
as the system is inactive below
3 mph (5 km/h).

Fog lamp control
With the ignition on, the fog lamps
can be turned on when the
headlamp control is pulled toward
you and is in any of the following
positions:
•Parking lamps
•Low beams
•Autolamps (when active)
The fog lamp indicator light will
illuminate when the fog lamps have been turned on. The fog lamps will
not operate when the high beams are active.
High beams
Push the lever toward the
instrument panel to activate. Pull
the lever towards you to deactivate.
Auto high beams
During nighttime driving, the automatic high beam system automatically
turns on your high beams if it is dark enough and no other traffic is
present. When it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlights or a
preceding vehicle’s tail lamps, the system turns off the high beams (low
beams remain on) before they distract other drivers.
If the vehicle is equipped with automatic high beams, the high beam
switch will operate differently depending on the status of the automatic
high beam system. Each of the possible operating scenarios are detailed
below:
Scenario 1:
Conditions -The automatic high beam system is set to ON in the
message center. The headlamp switch is in
(auto lamps). The
automatic high beam system has turned the high beams on.
Operation -The high beam switch will not perform any function.

automatically and the
light will display in the instrument panel if
the following are true:
•The headlamp control is in auto lamp
mode.
•Fog lamps are turned off.
•The ambient light level is low enough that high beams are needed.
•Vehicle speed must be greater than 32 mph (51 km/h).

Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an
“E” for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn
time.
