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 fog lamps
only when your lower beam headlights
are also on, 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.
Lights On Reminder
If you turn the ignition key to the Off or
Lock position while leaving the lights
on, you will hear
a warning chime.
Headlight High-Low Beam
Changer
To change the headlights from high to
low beam, or low to high, simply pull
the turn signal lever all the way toward
you. Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, a blue
light on the instrument cluster also will
be on.

I Climate Control System
Your vehicle’s heater and air
conditioner work best if you keep your
windows closed. Your vehicle also has
flow-through ventilation, described late]
in this section, to bring outside air into
your vehicle.
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 quicldy provide heat
because the engine coolant is already
warmed. See the
Index under Engine
Coolant Heater.

any climate control setting to turn the
system on.

glow).
Each time you turn on the ignition, the
air conditioner will default to the setting
you had selected before last turning off
the ignition.
When the air conditioner compressor is
on, you may sometimes notice slight
changes in your vehicle’s engine
performance and power. This is normal, because
the system is designed to help
fuel economy while it maintains the
desired cooling level.
The air conditioner removes moisture
from the air,
so you may sometimes
notice water dripping from under your
vehicle when it
is idling or after it has
been turned off. This is normal.
On very hot days, your vehicle will cool
down more quickly and economically if
you open the windows long enough to
let hot inside air escape. For all settings,
adjust the temperature control lever and
fan speed as desired.
Directional Controls
RECIRC (Recirculate): Press to get
maximum cooling or quick cool-down
on very hot days. This setting
recirculates much of the air inside your
vehicle. It should not be used for long
periods of time because the air may
become too cold and dry.
Slide the temperature control lever
down to the coolest setting and adjust
the fan speed as desired.
UPPER: For normal cooling on hot
days, press
A/C along with UPPER.

When the temperature outside is above
freezing, the air conditioner compressor
will run in these settings to help remove
moisture from the air. Your vehicle
is equipped with side
window defogger vents located on the
top of the instrument panel. For
additional side window defogging, press
the
BI-LEV button and adjust the fan
to the highest speed. Aim the side vents
on the instrument panel toward the side
windows. For increased air flow to the
side vents, close the center vents.
Rear Window Defogger
Press R. DEF (Rear Defog) to warm
the defogger grid on the rear window.
The indicator light will glow while the
rear window defogger is operating. The
rear window defogger will turn off
automatically after about
10 minutes. If
you turn it on again, the defogger will
operate for about five minutes only.
You can also turn the defogger off by
turning off the ignition or pressing the
switch again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle
license across the defogger grid on the
rear window.
