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.

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.

you  turn  on  the  ignition, it indicates  an 
electrical  problem  with your  air 
conditioning  system. The flashing  will 
continue  for about two minutes. It 
means  you  should  have your system 
serviced. 
Directional  Controls 
When  the following  buttons are pressed, 
an  indicator  light  will  glow  above  the 
button. 
BI-LEV  (Bi-Level): Use on cool,  but 
sunny  days.  This  setting brings in  the 
outside air,  but directs it  in 
two ways. 
The  cool  air is  directed  to  the upper 
portion  of your  body  through the  instrument 
panel outlets,  but most 
warmed  air is  directed  through the 
heater  ducts and a little  to  the defrost 
and side  window vents. At  times this 
temperature  difference  may  be  more 
apparent  than others. 
You  may  notice a delay of three  or four 
minutes  before the blower  comes  on. 
UPPER: Press to direct air  flow 
through  the instrument  panel outlets 
only. 
LOWER Press  to direct 90% of the  air 
flow  through  the heater ducts, and 
10% 
of the  air flow  through  the windshield 
defroster vents. 
DEFOG: Press to direct  half the air to 
the  windshield, and  the other  half 
through  the heater ducts. 
DEF  (Defrost): Press  to direct 90% of 
the  air to  the  windshield  and side 
window  vents, and 
10% to  the floor. 
The  fan will  automatically  go  to high.
