Daytime Running Lamps (Dm) 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.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so be sure it isn’t covered.
The DlU system will make your front turn signal lamps
come on when:
0 The ignition is on,
0 The headlamp switch is off, and
0 The parking brake is released.
When
the DRL are on, only your front turn signal lamps
will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t
be lit up either.
When it’s dark enough outside, your front
turn signal lamps
will go out and your headlamps will come on. The other
lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come on.
When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will
go
off, and your front turn signal lamps come on.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps
I-1 Use your fog lamps for
better vision in foggy or
misty conditions. Your
parking lamps or low-beam
headlamps must be on or
your fog lamps won’t work.
To turn the fog lamps on, push the button. Push the
button again to turn the fog lamps
off. A light above the
button will come on when the fog lamps are on.

Top” in the Index.
This procedure will require the use of the storage
compartment lid release button behind the driver’s seat
or the center console release switch. The fuse that
enables these releases is not installed at the assembly
plant and should
be in your center console. See
“Instrument Panel Fuse Block” in the Index for
location of the fuse. The fuse is labeled HATCH (45). 4. With
one person on each side, carefully position the
hardtop over the vehicle. Lower the hardtop slowly,
aligning the rear bolt spacers onto the bezels, and
front conical nuts into the tapered receivers. Realign
the hardtop, if necessary.
NOTICE:
To help avoid damage, don’t force the rear
of the hardtop
down. The hardtop may rest
slightly above the storage compartment lid
until the release lever
is pulled. See Step 8 in
this procedure.
5. Move both seatbacks forward. Slide the lock pillar
bracket into the receiver bracket until the scribed line
is even with the lower edge of the receiver bracket.

days. This setting cools outside air and directs it through
the instrument panel vents.
The air conditioning compressor operates in NORMAL
A/C, as well as RECIRCULATE, BI-LEVEL and
DEFROST. It only works when the outside temperature
is above freezing. When the air conditioning compressor
is on, you may sometimes notice slight changes in
your vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal
because the system is designed to cycle the compressor
on and
off to keep the desired cooling and help
fuel economy.
+,d BI-LEVEL: This setting cools or heats outside air
and directs it through the instrument panel vents and the
floor ducts.
de
do
do /I VENT: Air flows through the instrument panel
vents. The air conditioning compressor does not run in
VENT mode.
wg HEATER: This setting directs most of the air
through the floor ducts and some of the air through the
defroster vents. The air conditioning compressor does
not run in HEATER mode.
DEFROST: This setting directs most of the
air through the windshield defroster and side window
defogger vents and some of the air through the
floor ducts.
Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it.
Press HEATER and
FAN UP, then slide the temperature
control lever to a comfortable setting.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater and you
use it in cold weather,
0°F (- 18 "C) or lower, your
heating system can provide heat more quickly because
the engine coolant is already warmed. See "Engine
Coolant Heater" in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Bi-Level
You may want to use BI-LEVEL on cool, but sunny
days. This setting directs outside air through the
instrument panel vents and the floor ducts.
Press BI-LEVEL and FAN UP, then slide the
temperature control lever to a comfortable setting.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures, when little heating or
cooling is needed, you can still direct outside air through
your vehicle.
Press VENT and FAN UP, then slide the temperature
control lever to a comfortable setting.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your vehicle has several settings for clearing your
windows. The air conditioning compressor will run to
help remove moisture from the air.
To defrost the windshield quickly, press DEFROST and
FAN UP, then slide the temperature control lever all the
way
to the right or to the FULL HOT position. To
defrost the side windows quickly, press BI-LEVEL
and FAN UP. Then slide the temperature control lever
all the way
to the right. Direct airflow through the air
conditioning outlets closest to the side windows.
Cooling
The air conditioner works best if you keep your
windows closed. On very hot days, open the windows
just long enough for the hot air to escape.
Press RECIRCULATE and FAN UP. Then slide the
temperature control lever to a comfortable setting.
Direct airflow through the air conditioning outlets
closest to the side windows.
After cool-down, adjust the air control buttons to
another setting. The compressor works in all settings
except VENT and HEATER and at all temperatures
above freezing.
When the air conditioning compressor is on, you may
notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine speed and
power. This is normal because the system is designed to
cycle the compressor
on and off to keep the desired
temperature and help fuel economy.

Temperature Sensors
Sunload:
This sensor is on top of the instrument panel.
When the inside temperature is increased by sunlight,
the system will lower the inside temperature up to 5
OF
(3 O C) below the setting on the display.
Outside Temperature: This sensor is on the right side
of the upper radiator support in the grille opening. This
is what you usually see on the display.
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:
0 Vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least
0 Vehicle speed is above 45 mph (72 km/h) for one
This delay helps prevent a false reading. If vehicle speed
remains above 25 mph
(40 kmh) or the temperature
goes down, the display is updated immediately.
If your vehicle has been off for more than three hours,
the current outside temperature will be stored in the
system when you start the vehicle.

and a half minutes.
Inside Temperature: This sensor is in the center air
outlet on the passenger side.
I€ you block or cover either interior sensor (sunload or the
inside temperature), the system will give a false reading.
