OPERATING TIPS
Automatic fan and air distribution are set primarily by the driver
temperature settings. When the driver and passenger temperature
settings are very different, you may need to use the manual fan speed
setting to achieve passenger comfort.
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
air flow selector in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will 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.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
2. Select A/C
3. Modulate the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to HI
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

and floor airflow in the rear of the
vehicle.
To use the rear climate controls,
ensure that REAR is pressed on the main climate control face.
TEMPERATURE SENSOR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
temperature sensor grid. This sensor
works together with the Automatic
Temperature Control system (if
equipped) to help ensure the cabin
remains at the desired temperature.
Do not place items over the
temperature sensor grid. This may
cause improper operation of the system.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
R
The rear defroster control is located on the climate control panel and
works to defrost your rear windshield from fog and ice. It also operates
the heated mirror (if equipped) to remove snow and ice from the side
mirrors. When pressing the defrost control, a light will illuminate. This
light will not go out until another mode is selected.
Ensure that the ignition is ON position. Press to turn the defroster
ON/OFF. The indicator light will illuminate when ON.
The defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the
ignition is turned to the OFF position. To manually turn off the defroster
before 10 minutes have passed, push the control again.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.

Autolamp control (if equipped)
The autolamp system provides light
sensitive automatic on-off control of
the exterior lights normally
controlled by the headlamp control.
The autolamp system also keeps the
lights on for a fixed period of time
after the ignition switch is turned to
OFF.
•To turn autolamps on, rotate the
control counterclockwise.
•To turn autolamps off, rotate the control clockwise to OFF.
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns the lowbeam headlamps on with a reduced output. To activate:
•the key must be in the ON position,
•the headlamp control is in the OFF, parking lamps or autolamp
position,
•and the transmission must be out of PARK.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) System
does not activate your tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
High beams
Push the lever toward the
instrument panel to activate. Pull
the lever towards you to deactivate.

Battery saver
The battery saver will shut off the exterior lamps and interior lamps,
except the hazard warning lamps if activated, 10 minutes after the ignition
control has been turned off. The battery saver will extend the time-out
period for courtesy lamps to 30 minutes if the liftgate is ajar or the dome
lamp is on via manual activation using the dome lamp switch or the
headlamp switch, whichever is provided. The system will not turn off the
parking lamps if the headlamp control is in the PARK position. For interior
lights, refer toIlluminated entryin theLocks and securitychapter.
PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel during headlight
and parklamp operation.
•Rotate the thumbwheel from left
to right to brighten the
instrument panel.
•
Rotate the thumbwheel from right
to left to dim the instrument panel.
Your vehicle also contains a feature called“sleeping baby mode”—in
which the dome lamps will remain off and only the lower lamps will
illuminate. This lighting mode can be activated by rotating the thumbwheel
to the first left detent position (as denoted by the half filled circle above).
Domelamp Control
The panel dimmer control also controls the domelamp operation.
•Rotate the thumbwheel fully to the right, past detent to activate the
domelamp.
•In order to turn off the domelamp, rotate the thumbwheel to the left.
The dome lamp will not illuminate if the control switch is in the OFF
position.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by a qualified service technician.
You will need one #2 Phillips screwdriver to make the adjustments.
Vertical aim adjustment
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet)
from a vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.
•(1) Eight feet
•(2) Center height of lamp to
ground
•(3) Twenty five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the ground
and mark a 2.4 meter (8 foot) horizontal reference line on the vertical
wall or screen at this height (a piece of masking tape works well). The
center of the lamp is marked by a 0.5 mm circle on the headlamp lens.
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with high
intensity flat segments at the top
edge of the pattern. If the flat edges
are not at the horizontal reference
line, the beam will need to be
adjusted.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp, then use a No. 2
Phillips screwdriver to turn the adjuster either counterclockwise (to
adjust up) or clockwise (to adjust down) positioning the horizontal edge
of the high intensity light on the horizontal reference line.
