REAR WIPER
The rear window wiper operates with a constant five
second delay when the rear wiper switch
is in the ON
position. If the rear glass is opened, the wiper arm will
automatically park on the endgate. When the glass
is
completely closed, the wiper will resume the delay mode.
To wash the window, press and hold ON. The wipers
will continue
to work after you release the switch.
Press
OFF to turn the wiper off.
The rear window washer uses the same fluid bottle as
the windshield washer. However, the rear window
washer will run out
of fluid before the windshield
washer.
If you can wash your windshield but not your
rear window, check your fluid level.
This switch is located on the instrument panel.

OFF: This turns the system off.
COMP/TEMP: The display provides the outside
temperature and one
of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on.
If the outside
temperature is
37°F (3 "C) or lower, the display will
toggle between the word ICE and the current
temperature every eight seconds. This is a warning
to
the driver that road conditions may be icy, and that
appropriate precautions should be taken.
The compass is self-calibrating,
so it does not need to be
manually set. However, if C (Calibration)
is displayed,
the compass will need to be calibrated. You may also
place the compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing
and holding the MODE and US/MET buttons
simultaneously while in the COMP/TEMP mode. After
about
10 seconds, the compass will display C and you
can release the buttons. Drive the vehicle in a complete
360" circle three times at a speed of less than 5 mph
(8 km/h), and the compass will function normally. Once
the calibration is complete, the display will return to a
compass reading. Variance is
the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings.
If this happens, follow these instructions to set
the variance for your particular location:
1. Find your location on the zone map. Note your
zone number.
2. Press and hold both the MODE and the US/MET
buttons
in the COMP/TEMP mode.

After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number. When it does, release both buttons.
Press US/MET until your zone number appears
on
the display.
Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your
variance is now set and the display will return to the
COMP/TEMP mode.

button will step you through the following
TRIP functions:

AVG ECON: The average fuel economy since the
last reset is displayed.
INST ECON: Instantaneous fuel economy for the
last second of driving is displayed.
RANGE: The display indicates the estimated
distance that can be travelled
with the remaining fuel
in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the last
few hours of driving.
FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset
is displayed.
AVG SPEED: The average speed since the last reset
is displayed.
To reset the trip computer, press the MODE and
USMET buttons simultaneously for at least two seconds.
All functions will be displayed for a 112 second once the
system is reset. Reset can only be performed
in the AVG
ECON,
FUEL USED and AVG SPEED modes. All three
modes are reset simultaneously.

of most current transmitters and is powered by your
vehicle’s battery and charging system.
This device complies
with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the transmitter with any garage door opener
that does not have the “stop and reverse” feature. This
includes any garage door opener model manufactured

I, 1982.
Be sctre that people and objects ure clear of the garuge
door you are progrmnmin.g!
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program
up to three channels:
1.
2.
3.
If you have not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold
down the two outside buttons on the universal
transmitter until the red light begins
to flash rapidly
(approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.
Hold the end
of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surfixe of
the universal transmitter so that
you can still see the red light.
Decide which one
of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons

Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (1 6 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other.
AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise
if you ever get it.
Tips About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until
it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful
to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting
the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
