the headlamps.
Turn the end of the lever to OFF to turn off the lamps.
A warning chime will sound if you open the driver's
door when you turn the ignition switch to OFF or ACC
with the lamps on.
Daytime Running Lamps / Automatic
Headlamp Control
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work, so be sure it isn't covered.
The DRL system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:

The ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off and

the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker and
other lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel won't
be lit up either.
When it's dark enough outside, your front turn signal
lamps will turn off and your headlamps and parking
lamps will turn on.
When it's bright enough outside, your headlamps will go
off and your front turn signal lamps will come on.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL or automatic
headlamps off, set the parking brake while the ignition is
in OFF. Then start your vehicle. The DRL, headlamps
and parking lamps will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
To turn off the automatic headlamp feature when it's
dark outside, move the exterior lamp control to the
parking lamp position. Your parking lamps will remain
illuminated and your headlamps will turn off. The fog
lamps (if equipped) will also be lit if they were on when
you switched to the parking lamp position.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.

2-38 Fog Lamps
To turn the fog lamps on,
press the top of the fog
lamp switch located on
the left side of the
instrument panel.
A light will glow on the switch to let you know that they
are on. Please note that your parking lamps must be on
or your fog lamps will not illuminate. Press the bottom
of the switch to turn the fog lamps off.
The fog lamps will go off whenever you change to
high
-beam headlamps. When you return to low beams,
the fog lamps will come on again.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
You can brighten or dim the
instrument panel lights
by turning the interior
lamps thumbwheel.
Turn the thumbwheel upward to increase the brightness
of the instrument panel lights. Turn the thumbwheel
downward to decrease the brightness.

3-3
BI-LEVEL: This setting directs air two ways. Half
of the air is directed through the instrument panel outlets.
Most of the remaining air is directed through the floor
ducts and a little to the defrost and side window vents.
LOWER: This setting sends most of the air
through the ducts near the floor. The rest comes out of
the defroster and side window vents. Please note that
when using this setting in the recirculation mode, the
windows may fog up. See ªRecirculationº in the Index
for more information.
DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go to
the floor ducts and half to the defrost and side window
vents. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature
is below 40F (4.5C). (Even when the compressor is
running, you can control the temperature.)
DEFROST: This setting directs most of the
air through the defrost and side window vents. Some of
the air goes to the floor ducts. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting unless
the outside temperature is below 40F (4.5C).
(Even when the compressor is running, you can control
the temperature.)Air Conditioning Compressor Button
Press the A/C button to operate the air conditioning
compressor. The indicator light on the button will flash
briefly and stay on solid to let you know your air
conditioning will come on. If the light on the A/C button
turns off after the flashing has stopped your air
conditioning will not come on. Your air conditioning
will not come on for two reasons:

The outside temperature is below 40F (4.5C).

the refrigerant pressure is too low or too high. If the
outside temperature is above 40F (4.5C). See
ªAir Conditioning Refrigerantsº in the Index.
Recirc Button
: This button is used to recirculate much of the air
inside your vehicle. This setting is not available in
DEFOG or DEFROST. Also, note that operating the
system in the RECIRC may cause the windows to fog up
when the weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, use
the DEFOG or DEFROST modes and increase the fan
speed. To avoid refogging of the windows, use the
OUTSIDE AIR mode.
Outside Air Button
: This button is used to bring in outside air.

3-4 Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This reduces the time the
compressor has to run, which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool
-down on very hot days, use RECIRC
with the temperature knob all the way in the blue area
and the A/C button pushed in. If this setting is used for
long periods of time, the air in your vehicle may become
too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use UPPER with the
temperature knob in the blue area. With the A/C button
and outside the air button pushed in, the system will
bring in outside air and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI
-LEVEL with the temperature knob in
the middle with the A/C button and the outside air
button pushed in. The system will bring in outside air
and direct it to your upper body, while sending slightly
warmed air to your lower body. You may notice the
temperature difference more at some times than others.
Heating
On cold days use FLOOR and the outside air button
pushed in with the temperature knob all the way in the
red area. The system will bring in outside air, heat it and
send it to the floor ducts.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it's
cold outside (0
F (
-18
C) or lower). An engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See ªEngine Coolant
Heaterº in the Index.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use UPPER and press the outside air
button to direct air through your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has the flow
-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. To defrost the windows quickly, use
DEFROST with the temperature knob all the way in the
red area. To warm passengers while keeping the
windows clear, use DEFOG.

heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See ªEngine Coolant
Heaterº in the Index.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use UPPER, ECON (if equipped) and
OUTSIDE AIR to direct outside air through your
vehicle. Your vehicle also has the flow
-through
ventilation system described later in this section.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. To defrost the windows quickly, use your
DEFROST button. To warm passengers while keeping
the windows clean, use DEFOG by pressing the
MODE button.

3-31 Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Backglass Antenna
Your AM-FM antenna is integrated with your rear
window defogger, located in the rear window. Be sure
that the inside surface of the rear window is not
scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surface is damaged, it could
interfere with radio reception.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid and affect your radio's
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
Because this antenna is built into your rear window,
there is a reduced risk of damage caused by car washes
and vandals.
If you choose to add a cellular telephone to your vehicle,
and the antenna needs to be attached to the glass, be sure
that you do not damage the grid lines for the AM
-FM
antenna. There is enough space between the lines to
attach a cellular telephone antenna without interfering
with radio reception.
