intake area of your EATC System which could
block the air intake. The intake area is located
at the bottom of the windshield, under the
hood at the passenger side rear corner.

take it to your dealer to have it checked. System
diagnostics are built in which will allow your dealer
to readily identify problems that might occur.

78The button that controls the rear window
defroster and heated outside rearview mirrorsBefore using the defroster, clear away any snow
that is on the rear window and outside rearview
mirrors. With the engine running, push the
defroster button.
After approximately 10 minutes, the defroster will
turn off. If the window or mirrors are still not clear,
turn the defroster on again.The defroster will turn off when the ignition key is
turned to the OFF or START position.
The heating elements are bonded to the inside of
the rear window. Do not use sharp objects to
scrape the inside of the rear window or use
abrasive cleaners to clean it. Doing so could damage
the heating elements.

100short delay. The delay starts when glare goes away.
The delay prevents excessive changing of the
mirrors as traffic moves behind and around the
vehicle, or on rolling hills and curves.
The automatic non-glare mirrorThere are two light sensors (photocells) in this
mirror. The sensor that detects rear glare is located
inside a window in the center of the mirror. The
second light sensor which determines outside lightlevel is located on the backside of the mirror case.
The driver's side mirror is activated by these sensors
to prevent glare when traffic is behind or around
the vehicle.
NOTE:Do not block the sensor on the backside of
the mirror (i.e., with a parking tag, car deodorizer,
etc.) since this may impair proper mirror
performance.
One important safety feature is that the mirror
automatically returns to the normal position
whenever the vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)
(when the mirror is in the ON position). This
feature ensures a bright clear view in the mirror
when backing up.
Do not clean the housing or glass of any mirror
with harsh abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based
cleaning products.
