Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness
of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift
to a lower gear
to keep your speed down.
Of course, applying the brake
takes
you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to
be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on
steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
0 Step lightly on the brake pedal; OR
0 Move the cruise switch to OFF.
Erasing Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, or
shift into
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), your cruise
control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
The lamp controls are located on the instrument panel.
They control these systems:
Headlamps
Taillamps
Parklarnps
License Lamps
0 Sidemarker Lamps
0 Instrument Panel Lamps
Courtesy Lamps
Fog Lamps
0 Cornering Lamps
ProCarManuals.com
Fog Lamps
To turn the fog lamps on,
press the fog lamps switch
located below the headlamp
switch
on the left side of the
steering column.
A light
will glow on the switch to
let you know that
they are
on. (Your parklamps must
be on or your fog lamps
won’t come on). Press the
switch again
to turn the fog
lamps off.
The fog lamps will go off whenever you change to
high-beam headlamps. When you return to low beams,
the fog lamps will come on again.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps are designed to come on when you
signal a turn. This will provide more light for cornering
at night.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
You can brighten or dim the instrument panel lights by
moving the LIGHTS dial. If you turn the dial past
MAX, your courtesy or interior lamps will come on.
Courtesy Lamps
When any door is opened, several lamps come on. These
lamps are courtesy lamps. They make it easy for you to
enter and leave your vehicle. You can also turn these
lamps on by moving the interior lamps dial all the way
to the right.
Illuminated Entry
Your courtesy lamps will come on and stay on for a set
time whenever you press
UNLOCK on the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
If
you open a door, the lamps will stay on while it’s open
and then turn off automatically about
25 seconds after
you close it. If you press
UNLOCK and don’t open a
door, the lamps will turn off after about
40 seconds.

~ The mirror’s two outer buttons operate the lights on
~ the bottom sides of the mirror.
~ One photocell on the front of the mirror senses when
it is becoming dark outside. Another photocell, facing
rearward, senses headlamps behind you. To turn the electrochromic feature
off, press the button in the
center of the mirror again.
To keep the photocells operating well, occasionally
clean them with a cotton swab and glass cleaner.
Power Outside Mirrors
The power mirror control
switches are located near the
driver’s side window, on the
armrest.
To choose either the
left or right outside
mirror,
move the top switch from
left through neutral to right.
Press any of the four buttons
located below the top switch
to move the mirrors
in the
desired direction.
Heated Foldaway Outside Mirrors
The left and right outside mirrors are heated when you
activate the rear window defogger.
These mirrors can also be folded forward manually. This
feature
is particularly useful in automatic car washes and
when maneuvering your vehicle in narrow spaces.
Co-- -- - -: Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface is curved
so you can see more from
the driver’s seat.
J I1U.
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit
a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
Adjust each mirror so you can see the side of your
vehicle and the area behind your vehicle.

Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time for the
vehicle to cool down.
For a quick cool-down on very hot days, use MAX with
the temperature knobs all the way
in the blue area. If
this setting is used for long periods of time, the air in
your vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use
NORM with the
temperature knobs in the blue area. The system will
bring
in outside air and cool it.
On cool, but sunny days, the
sun may warm your upper
body,
but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI-LEV and set the temperature knob to a
comfortable setting. The system will bring in outside air
and direct it to your upper body, while sending slightly
warmed air to your lower body. You may notice this
temperature difference more at some times than others.
Heating
On cold days, use HTR with the temperature knobs all
the way in the red area. The system will bring
in outside
air, heat it and send it to
the floor ducts.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it’s
cold outside
(0°F (-18°C) or lower). An engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See “Engine Coolant
Heater” in
the Index.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside air through
your vehicle. Your vehicle also has the flow-through
ventilation system described later
in this section.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and side
windows.
To defrost the windows quickly, use FRONT.
For maximum defroster performance, set both
driver and passenger temperature controls to the
warmest setting.
To warm passengers while keeping the windows clear,
use
BLEND.

0 FLOOR: This setting sends most of the air through
the ducts near the floor. The rest comes out
of the
defroster and side window vents.
WFRONT This setting brings in outside air and
directs most of the air through the defrost vent. Some
of the air also goes to the floor ducts and the side
window defogger outlets. The indicator on the button
will light and WINDSHIELD will be lit in the display.
The air conditioning compressor will run automatically
in this setting unless the outside temperature is below
40°F (4°C).
VENT: This pushbutton turns the air conditioning
compressor on and off. The indicator lights when
the compressor is turned off. Recirculation is not
permitted when
the compressor is off. The system
will try to control the temperature automatically, but
without the compressor.
RECIRC: This setting recirculates much of the air
inside your ve.hicle. This setting is not permitted
in
FRONT defrost mode and is only permitted in
WINDSHIELD/FLOOR mode if the compressor
is turned on. The indicator light will be lit when
Recirculation is engaged, but will light for one second
and then turn
off if selected when not permitted.
