HUD shows these lights when they are
lit on the instrument panel.
When you sit straight in your seat, the
HUD image will appear slightly to the
right.
When the ignition key is turned to
Run,
all possible HUD images will come on
and look
lilce this. Then the Head-Up
Display will
operate normally.
NOITICE:
'Although the HUD image appears
to be near the front
of the vehicle,
do not use it as a parking aid. The
HUD was not designed for that
purpose.
If you try to use it that
way, such.as in a parking lot, you
may misjudge distance and
run into
something.

The brightness of the .HUD image is
determined by whether the headlight
switch is
on or off, and where you
have
set the HUD dimmer control.

the image is as low as possible but in
full view.
3. Slide the dimmer control toward
OFF until the HUD image is no
brighter than necessary.
To turn the
HUD
off, slide the HUD dimmer
control to
OFF.
If the sun comes out, or it becomes
cloudy, or
if you turn on your
headlights. vou mav need to adiust the HUD's
brightness using the HUD
dimmer control. Polarizing sunglasses
could make the HUD image harder
to see.
Irr .
Pushing the ENG/MET rocker switch
on the center console will switch the
HUD speedometer from English
(conventional) to metric units, or back
again.
Some vehicles may not be equipped
with the
ENG/MET switch.

Care of the Head-Up Display
Clean the inside of the windshield as
needed to remove any dirt or film that
reduces the sharpness or clarity of the
HUD image.
To Clean the HUD:
Spray household glass cleaner on a soft,
clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently,
then
dry it. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the lens, because the cleaner
fluid could leak inside the unit
if you do.
If You Can’t See the HUD Image
When the Ignition
is On:
Is anything covering the HUD unit?
Is the HUD dimmer control close
Is the HUD image adjusted to the
enough
to
MAX?
proper height?
Still no HUD image? Check the fuse
in the
CLSTR position in the glove
box fuse panel. See the Index under
Fuses G Circuit Breakers.
If the HUD Image is Not Clear:
It could be too bright. Move the HUD
dimmer control closer
to OFF.
You may need to clean the windshield
and HUD lens.
Your windshield is part of the HUD
system. If you ever have to have
a new
windshield, be sure to get one designed
for HUD. If you don’t, the HUD image
may look blurred and out of focus.

The air conditioner and heater work
)est if you keep your windows closed
vhile using them. Your vehicle also has
:he flow-through ventilation system
iescribed later in this section.
3FF: Press to turn the blower off. Air
vi11 still come from the outlets at the
loor. Press any function button to turn
.he system on.
remperature Control Lever: This lever
:hanges the temperature of the air
:oming through the system. The higher
.he lever setting, the warmer the air.
8: Selects the force of air you want.
Press
LO to lower the fan speed, HI to
raise it.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows
long enough to let hot inside air escape.
This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down, which should help
fuel economy.
There are three
air conditioning settings:
MAX: Provides maximum cooling or
quick cool-down on very hot days. This
setting also helps prevent outside odors
from entering your vehicle.
This setting recirculates much of the air
inside your vehicle, and it should not be
used for long periods because the air
may become too cold and dry. This
setting is not recommended if an
occupant is smoking.
NORM: Use for normal cooling on hot
days. This setting brings in outside air, cools
it and directs it through the
instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEV (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but
sunny days. This setting brings in
outside air, but directs it in two ways.
The cool air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the
instrument panel outlets, but most
warmed air is directed through the
heater ducts and a little to the defrost
and side window vents. At times this
temperature difference may be more
apparent than others.
Heating and Ventilation
When you don’t need to cool the
outside air, use these next settings. You
can leave the air as it is or heat it.
The air conditioner compressor doesn’t
run in these settings. This reduces the
engine load, resulting in improved fuel
economy (gas mileage).
VENT: For mild outside temperatures,
when little heating or cooling is needed,
push
VENT. Air flow is through the
instrument panel outlets. Slide the
temperature control lever to a
comfortable level.

HEAT: When outside temperatures are
cold, push
HEAT. Slide the
temperature control lever to a
comfortable level. For maximum
heating, slide it all the way to the right.
This setting will send
most of the
heated air through the ducts near the
floor. The rest will come out of the
defroster vents and side window
defogger vents.
There are two settings for clearing your
windows. For each setting, adjust-the
temperature control as desired. The air
conditioner compressor will run in
these settings to remove,moisture
from-
the air when the temperature is above
freezing.
This setting allows half of
the air to flow to the floor
heater ducts, and half to go
8Qjfl
to the~windshield and side window
vents located in the windshield pillars.
Use this setting to warm passengers
while keeping the windshield clear. The
DEF setting directs 90% of the
air
through the defroster vents and the side
window vents, and
10% to the floor. To
rapidly defrost the windshield, slide
the temperature control .lever all the
way to WARM and press the DEF
button.
Adjust the fan to the highest speed.

Your vehicle is equipped with side
window defogger vents located on the
window pillar. For additional side
window defogging, push the
BI-LEV
button, set the fan control on high and
aim the side vents on the instrument
panel toward the side windows. For
increased air flow to the side vents,
close the center vents.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window. Press
R DEFOG to turn
on. The defogger will turn off
automatically after about
10 minutes of
use. If you turn
it on again, the defogger
will operate for about five minutes only.
You can also turn the defogger off by
turning
off the ignition or pressing the
R DEFOG button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle
license across the defogger grid on the
rear window.

NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or something
else sharp on the inside of the rear
window.
If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn't be covered by your
warranty.
