Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when either
door is opened and it is dark outside. Press
the button to
turn them
on. Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp, glove
box lamp, cigarette lighters or
the garage door
opener. When the ignition is turned
off, the power
to these features will automatically
turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles
or less). Power will be restored for
an additional
10 minutes if either door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the
DIC while the ignition is in the
RUN position. Battery guard storage protects the battery
by placing the vehicle
in a storage mode so that the
radio, amplifiers, instrument cluster and
RKE will not
drain
the battery over a long period of time.
To begin programming, press the INFORMATION
(INFO) and RESET (INFO RESET) buttons at the same
time
for about two seconds. The first message to appear
is DOORS LOCK IN GEAR. Press the INFORMATION
(INFO) button after this prompt is displayed until
STORAGE MODE prompt appears on the DIC. Press
the
TRIP SET (TRIP RESET’) button to answer “yes”
or press the RESET (INFO RESET) button to indicate a
“no” response.

and
FEATURE OFF shows when a no response is made.
Since this
is the last personalization feature available, a
yes or no response
will end out of the DIC display.
Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode about
20 minutes
after the ignition key
has been turned off. The WKE will
also be disabled at this point. The RKE will reactivate
when a door
or the trunk is opened, however, if your
vehicle is left inactive for another
20 minutes, the RKE
will re-enter the storage mode.
Your vehicle will stay
in the storage mode until the
ignition key is turned out
of LOCK. The system will
“wake-up” when the door key is inserted
into the door,
however,
your vehicle will remain in the storage mode.
The ignition must be out of
LOCK before the battery
guard is disabled. This mirror automatically changes to reduce
glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the back of the
mirror senses when it
is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell built into the mirror surface senses when
headlamps are behind you.
At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare (this change
may take a
few seconds). The mirror will return
to its clear daytime
state
when the glare is reduced.

§&!reo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (1 6 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing
the sound to come
and go.
The range for most
AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations
to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from
things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it
r Audio Syste
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it
is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes
of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to
your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to
a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol
in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold
showers will speed that
up. “I’ll be careful” isn’t the
right answer.
What if there’s an emergency, a need to
take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street?
A person with even a moderate BAC might not be able
to react quickly enough to avoid the collision.
There’s something else about
drinking and driving that
many people don’t
know. Medical research shows that
alcohol
in a person’s system can make crash injuries
worse, especially injuries to
the brain, spinal cord or
heart. This means that when anyone who has been
drinking
-- driver or passenger -- is in a crash, that
person’s chance
of being hlled or permanently disabled
is higher than if the person had not been drinking.
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.
Your reflexes, perceptions, attentiveness and
judgment can be affected by even a small amount
of alcohol. YQU can have a serious -- or even
fatal
-- colllision if YOU drive after drinking.
Please don’t drink and drive or ride with a driver
o has been drinking. Wide home in a cab; OF if
you’re with
a group, designate a driver who will
not drink.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal
or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle
in
front of you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead
to stop, even though YOU have
anti-lock brakes.
using Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
and
let anti-lock work for YOU. You may hear the
anti-lock pump or motor operate, and feel
the brake
pedal pulsate, but this is normal.
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel
spin.
This is especially useful in slippery road conditions.
The system operates only
if it senses that one or both of
the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction.
When
this happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
The TRACTION
ENGAGED message will display on
the Driver Information Center when the traction control
system is limiting wheel spin. See “Driver Information
Center Messages”
in the Index. You may feel or hear the
system working, but this is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
Conditions allow you
to safely use it again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. (See “Cruise Control” in
the Index.)
This warning light will
come
on to let you know if
there’s a problem with your
traction control system.
See “Traction Control System Warning Light” in the
Index. When this
warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel
spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever you start your vehicle.
To liHnit wheel spin,
especially in slippery
road conditions, you should
always leave
the system on. But you can turn the
traction control system
off if you ever need to. (You
