Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system
(headlights, parking lights, fog lamps,
side marker lights and taillights) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and
provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these lights,
For example, some jurisdictions may
require that you operate your lower
beam lights with fog lamps at all times,
or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield
wipers. In addition, most 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.

Turn Signal and Lane Change
Indicator
The turn signal has two upward (for
Right) and two downward (for Left)
positions. These positions allow you to
signal a turn or
a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return
automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel
will flash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
I)
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if
the arrows don’t flash but just stay on, a
signal bulb may be burned out and
other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, have your dealer
replace
it to help avoid an accident. If
the green arrows don’t go on at all
when
you signal a turn, check the fuse
(see the
Index under Fuses G Circuit
Breakers) and for burned-out bulbs.

The high beam headlights will come on
at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is on
The headlight switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
When you turn on your headlights, the
DRL will switch off and the exterior
lights will come on. When you turn off
the headlights, the exterior lights will go
out and the high beams will change to
the reduced brightness
of DRL again.
The DRL indicator light on the
instrument panel will go on whenever
the DRL are on. This light means that
only the DRL are on. When you turn on
your exterior lights, this light will go
out. Of course, you may still turn on the
headlights any time
you need to.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off,
set the parking brake. The
DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking
brake.

I Climate Control System
Nith this system, you can control the
rentilation and heating in your vehicle.
four vehicle also has the flow-through
Jentilation system described later in this
rection.
Lever Controls: The upper lever
:hanges the functions
of your system.
rhe lower lever changes the temperature
If the air coming through the system.
Slide the upper control lever to
OFF to
:urn
off the system.
3f: Sets the fan speed. To select the
:orce of air you want, turn the knob.
VENT: Use when outside temperatures
are mild and little heating or cooling is
needed. Air flow is through the
instrument panel outlets. Set the lower
lever to the temperature desired.
B/L (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but sunny
days. This setting brings in the outside
air, but directs it in two ways. Cool air
is directed to the upper portion of your
body through the instrument panel
outlets, and slightly warmer air is
directed through the heater ducts and
defroster vents.
At times, this
temperature difference may be more
apparent than others.
HTR (Heater): This setting brings
heated air through the heater ducts, and
some through the windshield defroster
vents.
If you have the optional engine
coolant heater and use it during cold
weather,
0°F (-18°C) or lower, your
heating system will more quickly
provide heat because the engine coolant
is already warmed. See the
Index under
Engine Coolant Heater.
BLEND: This setting divides the air
flow equally between the heater duets
and the windshield defroster vents.
DEF (Defrost): This setting directs
most air through the windshield
defroster vents, and some through the
heater ducts.
Defogging Windows
To defog the windows, slide the lower
lever to
HOT, set the upper lever to
DEF and turn the fan control to HI.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Conditioning System
(OPTION)
The air conditioner and heater work
best if you keep your windows closed
while using them. Your vehicle also has
the flow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
Lever Controls: The upper lever
changes the functions
of your system.
The lower lever changes the
temperature of the air coming through
the system. Slide the upper control lever
to
OFF to turn off the system.
3f: Selects the fan speed. To select the
force of air you want, turn the hob.
The fan is always running unless the
upper lever is moved to
OFF.
Air Conditioning
The upper lever has three air
conditioner settings. On very hot days,
open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This reduces the
amount of work your air conditioner's
compressor will have to do, which
should help fuel economy.
A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this
button
to enable the air conditioner
compressor. The indicator light will
glow when the button is pressed. Press
the button again to turn
off the air
conditioner compressor.
The air conditioner compressor
operates automatically (and the light
glows) when in the
MAX setting, or in
the
DEF (Defrost) setting when the outside temperature
is higher than
about 40°F (4.5"C). Below 40°F (4.5"C),
the light will glow in these settings, but
the compressor will not turn on.
MAX (Maximum): Use for maximum
cooling. This setting recirculates much
of the air inside your vehicle
so it
maximizes fuel economy and your air
conditioner's performance.
VENT: Use on pleasant days when little
heating or cooling is needed, to direct
outside air into the vehicle.
In this
setting, the air flow is through the
instrument panel outlets.
B/L (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but sunny
days. This setting brings in the outside
air, but directs it in two ways. Cool air
is directed to the upper portion of your
body through the instrument panel
outlets, and slightly warmer air is
directed to the lower portion of your
body through the heater ducts and
defroster vents. At times, this
temperature difference may be more
apparent than others.
