Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others
to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful
in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The
DRL system will make your low beam headlamps
come
on at a reduced brightness when:
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
When you turn on the headlamp switch, your DRL will
go out, and your headlamps will come on.
The other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come
on.
When you turn off the headlamp switch, the regular
lamps will go off, and your low beam headlamps come
on at the reduced brightness of DRL,
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system any time
you need it.

Rear Window Defogger
I I The rear window
1 defogger uses a
warming grid
to
remove fog from the
rear window.
Press the switch
to turn on the defogger. An indicator
light will come on below the switch to remind you that
the defogger is
on. Press the switch again to turn the
defogger
off. The rear window defogger will also turn
off if you turn the ignition switch to ACC or LOCK, but
will turn back on when the ignition
is turned back on.
Do not attach anything like a temporary vehicle license
or a decal across the defogger grid on the rear window.
I NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your Geo’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the fan
is running
and the air intake lever is at CIRCULATE.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, move the
fan control lever toward FAN for a few moments
before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle.
