9perafion.of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system-
(headlights, parlung lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meets
311 applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and
provinces may apply thek own lighting
:egulations that may require special attention
before
you op~erate these
lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may
require that you operate your fog lamps
only when your lower beam headlights
are
also on, or that‘ headlightsbe turned
on whenever you must .use your
windshield wipers. In addition, mo.st
jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with
parking lights, especially at dawn or
dusk. It
is recommended that you check
with your
own state or provincial
highway authority for applicable
lighting regulations.
Ligk On Reminder
If you open the door while leaving the
lights on, you will hear a warning tone.
Daytinre. Rurmjng DgMs
(CANADA ONLY)
.The Canadian Federal Government has
decided that “Daytime Running Lights”
(DRL) are a useful feature, in that DRL
can make your vehicle more visible to
pedestrians and other drivers during
daylight hours.
DRL are required on
.new vehicles sold in Canada. Your
DIU work
with a light sensor on
top
of the instrument panel. Don’t
cover it up.
The low :beam headlights will come on
at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is on
*‘ The head,light switch is off, and
‘The parking brake is released.
At dusk, the exteriorlights will come on
automatically and the low beams will
change
to full brightness. At dawn, the
exterior lights will go out and the low
beams will change
to the reduced
brightness of
DRL (if the headlight
switch is
off).
Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL,
off,
set the parling brake while the ignition
is in the
Off or Loch position. Then
start the vehicle. The DRL will stay off
until
you: release the parking brake.

Low Engine Oil- Level Warning
Light
(omorv)
Your engine may be equipped with an
oil level monitoring system. When. the
ignition key is turned on, the
LOW OIL
LEVEL light will briefly flash. If the
light stays
on, stop the vehicle on a level
surface and turn the engine off. Check
the oil level using the engine oil
dipstick. (See the
Index under Engine
Oil.) If the light does not flash, have the
low oil level sensor system repaired
so it
will be ready to warn you if there's a
problem.
NOTIC E:
The oil.leve1 monitoring system
only checks oil level during the
brief period between key on and
engine crank. It does not monitor
engine oil level when the engine is
running. Additionally, an oil level
check is only performed if the
engine has been turned off for a
considerable peri.od of time
allowing the oil normally in
circulation to drain back into the
oil pan.

1 Electronic Climate Control
(OPTION)
This system allows you to set the
temperature
you want. It also lets you
choose automatic air flow and direction
control, or air flow and direction
settings you select. Your vehicle also
has the flow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
The digital screen displays the outside
temperature, the inside temperature
setting and the fan speed.
When you select the
AUTO mode, the
air conditioner compressor
will operate
if the outside temperature is above
freezing.
The air conditioner compressor also
operates in
DEFOG, DEF (Defrost) and
BI-LEV (Bi-Level)
when the
outside temperature is above freezing.
COOL/WARM: Sets the interior
temperature you want. Press
COOL to
lower the inside temperature setting;
press
WARM to raise the setting. The
temperature you set will be displayed on
the digital screen.
Once you set the temperature, the
system will try to maintain the set
temperature, whether. you are using the
heating or cooling controls.
Your system has an interior
temperature sensor that dete.cts
increased interior temperature caused
by sunlight. To keep you comfortable, it
reduces the interior temperature by as
much as
5°F (3°C) below the setting on
the digital screen.
AUTO: To allow the system to
automatically control the temperature,
air distribution and fan speed:
1. Set the temperature you want with
the
COOL/WARM switch.
2. Press the AUTO switch. The AUTO
symbol will appear on the digital
screen.
The system will approach the
temperature you select as quickly as
possible.
For most efficient operation,
just set the system temperature where
you would like it and drive away.
You may notice a delay of three or four
minutes before the blower comes on.
OUTS TEMP: Press to have the
outside temperature displayed
on the
digital screen. Press
again to return to
the inside temperature setting.
If the system is left in the outside
temperature mode, the outside
temperature will be displayed except
when changing the inside temperature
setting using the
COOL/WARM
switch. The display will return to the
outside temperature setting in about
five seconds.
