Retained Accessory Power: If you have ths option,
after you turn your ignition
off and even remove the key,
you will still have electrical power to such accessories
as the radio and power windows for up to ten minutes.
But if you open
a door, power is turned off.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in LOCK and you can’t
turn it, be sure it is all the way in.
If it is, then
turn the steering wheel left and right while you
turn the key hard. But turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break
the key
or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position -- that’s a
safety feature.
To restart when you’re already moving,
use
NEUTRAL (N) only.
NOTICE:

moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift to PARK
(P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
To start your 3.8 Liter engine:
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to
START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your
engine gets
warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than 15
seconds at a time will cause your battery to be
drained much sooner.
And the excessive heat can
damage your starter motor.

Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of
the
HUD image.
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,
check to see if
The headlamps are on?
Anything is covering the HUD unit?
0 The HUD dimmer control is adjusted correctly?
0 The HUD image is adjusted to the proper height?
A fuse in the fuse panel may be blown. See “Fuses
If the HUD image is not clear it could be too bright,

Battery Warning Light
This light will come on
briefly when you start the
vehicle, as a check to show
If it stays on, or comes on while you are dnving, you
may have a problem with the electrical charging system.
It could indicate that you have a generator problem or
another electrical system problem. Have it checked right
away. Driving while this light
is on could drain your
battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn
off all your accessories, such as the radio

Electronic Climate Control (Option)
With this system, you can control the ventilation,
heating and
air conditioning in your vehicle, or you can
use the automatic setting. When
you leave your vehicle
the system control setting
is remembered the next time
you start your
car.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION: When the system is set
for
AUTO, sensors will control the air delivery mode.
Air will come from the floor, middle and windshield
outlets. The fan speed will
vary as the system maintains
the selected temperature setting.
To find your comfort
zone, start with 75" temperature
setting, allow about
20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Press the
TEMP button up or down to adjust
the temperature setting
if necessary, If you choose the
temperature
setting of 60°F (1 5 O C), the system will
remain at that maximum cooling setting and will not
regulate the fan speed.
If you choose the temperature setting
of 90°F (33"C), the system
will remain at that
maximum heating setting and will
not regulate the fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting
will not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
Pressing the
AUTO button will display the requested
temperature, fan speed and air delivery mode for
5
seconds, then change to display the outside air
temperature. Be careful not to put anything over the
sensor located in the middle
of the instrument panel near
the windshield, or over the sensor in the
grille above the
radio. These sensors are used by the automatic system to
regulate temperature.
The exterior temperature display sensor is in front of the
car, near the radiator,
This displayed temperature is most
accurate when the vehicle is moving. During stops,
or
while idling, the display shows the previous driving
temperature for best system control.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the
fan until warm air is available.
The length
of delay depeds on outside air temperature,
engine coolant temperature, and time since the engine
was last started. Pushing the
fan button will override this
delay and change the fan
to a selected single speed.
If you leave your vehicle, the control setting is
remembered the next time you start your engine.
