To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Insert a thin coin in the slot between the covers of the
transmitter housing. Gently pry the transmitter apart.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a three
-volt
CR2032 or equivalent battery, positive (+) side down.
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter.
Liftgate/Liftglass
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas
can come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate or liftglass
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the liftgate or liftglass:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on panel or bi
-level with recirculation off.
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.

Engine Coolant Heater (If Equipped)
In very cold weather, 0F (-18C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You'll get easier
starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm
-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be
plugged in a minimum of four hours prior to starting
your vehicle. At temperatures above 32F (0C),
use of the coolant heater is not required.
To Use the Engine Coolant Heater
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
The cord is located on the driver's side of the
engine compartment, behind the battery.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110
-volt AC outlet.
CAUTION:
Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet
could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind of extension cord could overheat and cause
a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the
cord into a properly grounded three
-prong
11 0
-volt AC outlet. If the cord won't reach,
use a heavy
-duty three-prong extension cord
rated for at least 15 amps.
4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and store
the cord as it was before to keep it away from moving
engine parts. If you don't, it could be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in?
The answer depends on the outside temperature, the
kind of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of
trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact
your dealer in the area where you'll be parking your
vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that
particular area.

Accessory Inflator
Your vehicle is equipped with an air inflator system.
You can inflate things like basketballs and bicycle tires.
Also, you can use it to bring your tire pressure up to the
proper pressure. It is not designed to inflate large objects
which will require more than five minutes to inflate,
such as an air mattress.
The air inflator is located
in the rear compartment
on the passenger's side
of the vehicle behind an
access cover.
To remove the cover, pull the two tabs on the cover and
pull it off.The air inflator kit is located in the glove compartment.
The kit includes a 22
-foot (6.7 m) hose with three
nozzle adapters.
To use the air inflator attach the appropriate nozzle
adapter to the end of the hose if required. Then attach
that end of the hose to the object you wish to inflate.
Attach the other end of the hose to the outlet.
Press and release the switch to turn the air inflator on.
The indicator light will remain on when the inflator
is running.
The system has an internal clock to prevent overheating.
The system will allow about five minutes of running
time, then the compressor will stop. The indicator light
will then begin to flash. When the indicator is off, the
inflator can be started again by pressing the switch.
If the compressor is still hot, it may only run for a
short time before shutting off again.

Press and release the switch to turn the inflator off.
Place the inflator kit tools in the pouch and store it
properly. Remove the inflator hose from the outlet
during loading and unloading. Load leveling will not
function with the inflator hose attached to the inflator
outlet. See ªElectronically Controlled Air Suspension
Systemº in the Index.
To reinstall the cover, line up the tabs at the back of
the cover, put it in place and latch the tabs.
A continuous flashing indicator light may also
indicate a malfunction in the air suspension system.
See ªElectronically Controlled Air Suspension Systemº
in the Index.
CAUTION:
Inflating something too much can make it explode,
and you or others could be injured. Be sure to read
the inflator instructions, and inflate any object
only to its recommended pressure.
Accessory Power Outlets
With the accessory power outlets, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
Your vehicle has three accessory power outlets.
The first outlet is located to the right of the cigarette
lighter on the instrument panel. The second outlet is
located on the rear of the center console, and the third
one is located in the rear of the vehicle near the liftgate.
Remove the cover from the outlet to use the outlet.
Be sure to put the cover back on when not using the
accessory power outlet.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result in
blown vehicle or adaptor fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information
on the accessory power outlets.

Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed. Use the mode button to cycle through the
following four air delivery modes:
(Panel): This setting will deliver air to the
instrument panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): This setting will deliver warmer air to
the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets.
(Floor): This setting will deliver air to the
floor outlets.
(Defog): This setting will deliver air to the
floor and windshield outlets.
OFF: Press this button to turn the system off. Some
fresh air will continue to flow through the vehicle from
the floor outlets. The system will try to maintain the
previously chosen temperature setting.
(Recirculation): Press this button to limit
the amount of outside air entering your vehicle. This is
helpful when you are trying to limit odors entering your
vehicle and for maximum air conditioning performance
in hot weather. Press this button again to allow outside
air to enter the vehicleIf you select recirculation while in defrost, defog or
floor, the light on the button will flash and go out to let
you know this is not allowed. This is to prevent fogging.
When the weather is cool or damp, operating the system
in recirculation for extended periods of time may cause
fogging of the vehicle's windows. To clear the fog,
select either defog or FRONT defrost. Be sure A/C OFF
is not selected to allow the air conditioning compressor
to run automatically and help dehumidify the air.
(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn
the air conditioning compressor on and off. When air
conditioning is selected or in AUTO mode, the system
will run the air conditioning automatically to cool and
dehumidify the air entering the vehicle. If you select
A/C OFF while in FRONT defrost, the A/C OFF text
will flash to let you know this is not allowed. This is to
prevent fogging.
FRONT (Defrost): Press this button to defrost
the windshield. The system will automatically control
the fan speed if you select defrost from AUTO.
If the outside temperature is 40F (4C) or warmer,
your air conditioning compressor will automatically
run to help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield.
