Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps
from low beam to high or
high to low, push the turn
signal lever all the way
forward.

panel also will be on. To change the headlamps from
high to low, pull the lever rearward.
Lamps on Reminder
If you turn the ignition off and leave the headlamps or
parking lamps on and open the door, you will hear a
chime reminding you to turn off all lamps.
Flash-to-Pass
Momentarily pull the turn signal lever toward you. The
high
-beam indicator will flash to indicate to the other
driver that you intend to pass. If the low
-beam
headlamps are off and you have the optional fog lamps
on, the fog lamps will flash.

You can control the windshield wipers by moving the
lever with the wiper symbol on it. This lever is located
on the right side of the steering column.
For a single wiping cycle, push the lever down to MIST.

Fog Lamps (Option)
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. Your parking lamps or low
-beam headlamps
must be on or the fog lamps won't work.
To turn the fog lamps on, push the button located on the
instrument panel to the left of the steering column. A
light on the button will come on when the fog lamps are
on. Push the button again to turn the fog lamps off.
Twilight Sentinel (Option)
Twilight Sentinel provides a period of exterior
illumination as you leave the vicinity of the vehicle. The
feature is activated when the headlamps are on due to
the optional Automatic Headlamp Control feature
described previously in this section, and when the
ignition is turned off. Your headlamps will then remain
on until the headlamp switch is moved from OFF to the
parking lamp position or until an illumination period has
elapsed. See ªDriver Information Center (DIC)º in the
Index to select the desired illumination period.
If you turn off the ignition with the headlamp switch in
the parking lamp or headlamp position, the Twilight
Sentinel cycle will not occur.
You can customize the vehicle to activate the Twilight
Sentinel when the ignition is turned off under the
conditions listed previously, or you may choose not to
activate this feature under any conditions. See ªDriver
Information Center (DIC)º in the Index to customize
this feature.

3-3
LOWER: This setting directs most of the air
through the lower ducts to the floor area of the vehicle
with some of the air also directed toward the windshield
and side window vents.
DEFOG: This setting divides the air between the
windshield and lower outlets with a small amount
directed toward the side window vents. This is useful
when fog appears on the windshield or side glass due to
rain or snowy conditions.
DEFROST: Use this setting to quickly remove fog
or frost from the windshield. This setting directs most of
the airflow to the windshield with a small amount
directed toward the lower and side window outlets.
Mode Buttons
These buttons control the air intake, the air conditioning
and the rear window defogger operation.
FRESH AIR: Press this button and it will bring
outside air into the vehicle. The light on the button will
come on when operating. Use this setting while trying to
defrost or defog windows to help clear moisture.
RECIRCULATE: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh air entering the vehicle by recirculating
most of the air inside the vehicle. The light on the button
will come on when operating. This setting is helpful
when you are trying to cool the air quickly or to limit
odors entering the vehicle. RECIRCULATE cannot be
used while in the DEFROST or DEFOG modes.
A/C: This button turns the air conditioning
compressor off or on under most conditions. The light
on the A/C button comes on when the compressor is
operating. The air conditioning does not operate at
temperatures below approximately 35
F to 40
F
(2
C to 4
C). The air conditioning cools and
dehumidifies the air coming into the vehicle. The air
conditioning cannot be turned off in DEFROST, as it
helps to remove moisture from the vehicle. It also helps
to keep the windows clear.
The air conditioning may be forced off at high engine
speeds or high engine oil or coolant temperatures.
See ªRear Window Defoggerº later in this section for
more information.

A/C: This button turns the air conditioning
compressor on or off, except in the FRONT defrost
mode. The light on the A/C button will come on when
the compressor is operating in either the automatic or
manual mode. The air conditioning may also be forced
off at high engine speeds. The light on the A/C button
will flash if pressed when air conditioning operation is
not allowed.
FRESH AIR: Press this button to provide fresh
air from the outside. The light on this air intake button
will come on to show when it is operating. When in the
AUTO mode, the system automatically selects FRESH
AIR instead of recirculate, as required, to control the
temperature in the vehicle. By pressing FRESH AIR, the
system will lock into the fresh air mode. Any adjustment
to the air intake must then be made manually. FRESH
AIR should be used when trying to defrost or defog
windows to help reduce moisture inside the vehicle.
RECIRCULATE: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh air entering the vehicle. The light on
this air intake button will come on to show when it is
operating. Recirculate is helpful when you are trying to
cool the air quickly or trying to limit odors and dust
from entering the vehicle. When in the AUTO mode, the
system automatically selects recirculate to cool the
vehicle's temperature. By pressing this button, the
system will lock into the recirculated air mode. Any
adjustment to the air intake must then be made
manually. The recirculated air mode is not allowed in
the front defrost or defog modes as fresh air helps
reduce moisture inside the vehicle.
FRONT: Press the FRONT defrost button to
quickly remove fog or frost from the windshield. This
setting directs most of the airflow to the windshield and
a small amount toward the lower and side window
outlets. The light on the button will come on and the
digital display will show the defrost mode symbol and
fan speed when the front defrost mode is being used.
Pressing FRONT defrost again will return the system to
the last operating mode.
