Fog Lamps Interior Lamps
To turn the fog lamps on,
press the
log 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 parking lamps 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.
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.
Illuminated Entry includes a feature called theater
dimming. With theater dimming, the lamps don’t just
turn off
at the end of the delay time. Instead, they slowly

FRONT This setting directs most of the air
through the defroster and side window vents. Some of
the air goes to the floor ducts and the side window vents.
The air conditioning compressor will
run automatically
in this setting unless the outside temperature is below
40°F (4°C). (Even when the compressor is running, you
can control the temperature.)
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 knob and
lever
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 with
the temperature knob all the way in the red area.
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.

9 FRONT 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.
Vent is not permitted in FRONT defrost mode. If the
vent button is pushed while in FRONT defrost mode,
the indicator will light for one second and then turn off.
RECIRC: This setting recirculates much of the air
inside your vehicle. 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.

Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust.
If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean
it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick
up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged.
If the mast should ever become
slightly bent, you can straighten
it out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent, as
it might be by vandals, you should
replace
it.
Check every once in a while to be sure the mast is still
tightened
to the fender.
Backglass Antenna (If Equipped)
Your AM-FM antenna is integrated with your rear
window defogger, located
in the rear window. Be sure
that the inside surface of the rear window is
not
scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged.
If the inside surface is damaged, it could
interfere with radio reception.
