Outside Convex Mirror
{CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
The passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from
the driver’s seat. It also makes things appear farther
away than they really are.
Outside Heated Mirrors
When the rear window defogger is turned on, it also
warms both outside rearview mirrors to help clear them
of ice, snow, or condensation. SeeClimate Control
System on page 3-18.
Storage Areas
Glove Box
To open the glove box, lift up on the lever. The glove
box has a light inside.

Dome Lamp
The dome lamp switch has three positions.
ON:The lamp will stay on as long as the switch is in
this position.
DOOR:The lamp will come on when a door is opened.
See “Entry Lighting” for more information.
OFF:The lamp will not come on as long as the switch
is in this position.
Entry Lighting
If the dome lamp is in the DOOR position, the lamps
inside your vehicle will come on when any door is
opened. In addition, the light will come on when the
remote keyless entry unlock button is pressed. It
will stay on for 20 seconds or until a door is opened.
After the door is opened the light will remain on and
stay on for 20 seconds after the doors are closed,
or until you put the key in the ignition and turn the key
to RUN. The light will then gradually dim until it is
no longer lit.
Map Lamps
Your vehicle may have map lamps on the rearview
mirror. Press the button next to the lamp to turn it on
and off.
Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver feature
designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp is left on and the ignition is
turned off, the battery rundown protection system will
automatically turn the lamp off after 20 minutes.
Accessory Power Outlets
The accessory power outlets can be used to connect
electrical equipment such as a cellular phone or
CB radio.
The accessory power outlets are located in the front
and rear of the center console.
To use the outlet, remove the cover. When not in use,
always cover the outlet with the protective cap.
