Rear Doors
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the tailgate
glass, tailgate or rear doors open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle.
You can't see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the tailgate glass, tailgate
or rear doors open or if electrical wiring or other
cable connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the tailgate glass, tailgate
or rear doors:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting on
VENT. That will force outside air into your
vehicle. See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Tailgate Glass and Tailgate
If your vehicle has a tailgate, you must raise the rear
glass before lowering the tailgate.
To open the glass from the outside, use your key. With
the key in the lock, turn the key clockwise to release the
glass, then lift it up.
To release the glass from the inside, use the electric
tailgate glass release switch on the instrument panel. For
more information, see ªTailgate
-- Electric Glass
Releaseº in the Index.
To open the tailgate, lift up on the handle while pulling
the tailgate toward you.
Close the tailgate before closing the rear glass. After
closing the tailgate, make sure the tailgate is securely
latched by pulling it toward you. After closing the rear
glass, pull up on its handle to make sure it is locked.

2-12 Panel Doors
To open the rear panel doors, you must open the
passenger's side panel door first. If the door is locked,
insert your door key in the lock and turn it
counterclockwise to unlock it.
To open the passenger's side panel door, pull up on the
handle and pull the door open.
To open the driver's side panel door, first open the
passenger's side panel door. Then, pull the handle on the
left door edge outward and pull the door open.
The rear doors have a check assembly to keep them
from fully opening during normal use.
To fully open either rear door, you must release the
check strap. To release the check strap just:
1. Open the door partway until the white mark on the
check strap is fully outside the door edge. If the end
of the strap catches the pin on the door, the door is
open too far.
2. Then, hold the strap at
the white mark, pull the
strap toward you and
open the door all
the way.
To r e
-engage the door check strap, just close the door
and the strap will catch the pin.
To close the doors, close the driver's side door first.
After securely closing the door, close the passenger's
side door. Make sure both doors are latched securely.
To lock the rear doors from outside the vehicle, put your
key in the lock and turn it clockwise. If you have power
door locks, you can lock the side doors as well as the
rear doors from inside the vehicle. For more
information, see ªPower Door Locksº in this section.

2-14 Shock Sensor
A shock sensor triggers the alarm when it detects a blow
to your vehicle. It is located in the center floor console.
There are two levels of alarms via the shock sensor: two
horn blasts and the headlamp/parking lamps flash for
non
-threatening blows to the vehicle or a full
two
-minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle. Its
sensitivity can be adjusted if more or less sensitivity is
desired. If sensitivity is increased too much, it may give
false alarms caused by gusts of wind or other natural
events that may shake the vehicle.
The adjustment for the
shock sensor sensitivity can
be accessed through a hole
in the forward wall of the
main bin of the center
floor console.
Using a small flat
-tipped screwdriver, turn the adjuster
clockwise to increase sensitivity and turn counterclockwiseto decrease sensitivity. The shock sensor is ignored by the
alarm system when the ignition is on, when the tailgate or
panel doors are open, when the alarm is disarmed, when
customized to be ignored and for five seconds after the
horn sounds an alarm or chirp. The shock sensor is
ignored after triggering three full alarms until the system
is rearmed.
Arming the System
The alarm system can be armed to detect break-ins by
locking your vehicle using the keyless entry or by
locking the doors with the power door lock switch.
Passive arming is also available if you would like the
system to arm all by itself after the doors have been
closed for a short time. See ªFeature Customizationº in
the Index. When the system is armed, a red light will
flash on the center floor console briefly once every two
seconds. If you return to your vehicle and the red light is
flashing two brief flashes every two seconds, the system
is armed and the shock sensor had triggered a two
minute alarm. If the red light is flashing three times
every two seconds, the system is armed and there was an
intrusion that sounded the alarm.
Horn chirps and parking lamp flashes can be set to
your choice.

Exterior Lamps
Your parking/headlamp knob is on the driver's side of
your instrument panel.
Turn the knob clockwise, to the parking lamp symbol, to
turn on the following:

Parking Lamps

Sidemarker Lamps
Taillamps

License Plate Lamps

Instrument Panel Lights
Turn the knob clockwise again, to the master lighting
symbol, to turn on all the lamps listed as well as
the headlamps.
Turn the knob counterclockwise, to OFF, to turn off
your lamps. For additional information on headlamp
operation, see ªHeadlamp Delayº in the Index.
Turn the thumbwheel next to the knob up to adjust
instrument panel lights. Turn the thumbwheel up to the
first notch to return the radio display and gearshift
indicator LED display to full intensity when the
headlamps or parking lamps are on. To turn on the dome
lamps (with the vehicle doors closed) turn the
thumbwheel up to the second notch position.
You can switch your headlamps from high to low beam
by pulling on the turn signal/high
-beam lever.
A circuit breaker protects your headlamps. If you have
an electrical overload, your headlamps will flicker on
and off. Have your headlamp wiring checked right away
if this happens.

Comfort Controls
Heater and Air Conditioning
Control System
Fan Knob
The knob on the left side of the heating system control
panel controls the fan speed. The knob has four speed
positions. To increase airflow, move the knob toward
HI. To decrease airflow, move it toward LO. To turn the
fan off, move the knob to OFF. If you have the air
conditioner on, moving the fan knob to OFF also turns
off the A/C compressor.
In OFF, while driving, air will flow through the floor
outlets. The mode knob will not redirect the airflow to
other selected outlet positions. This is normal operation
for the OFF position.Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the
relative temperature of the air flowing into the passenger
area of your vehicle. This knob will allow you to adjust
the relative air temperature independently of the
function knob setting. Turn the knob clockwise
toward the red area for warmer air. Turn the knob
counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction of air delivery. The control knob
can be placed in any position between any two mode
settings to blend the flow of air.
VENT: This setting directs air through the
instrument panel outlets.
VENT/HEAT: Use this setting to divide airflow
between the floor outlets and instrument panel outlets.
HEATER: This setting directs air through the
floor outlets.
DEFOG: This setting directs air to the heater
outlets and toward the windshield.

With the A/C on, turn the temperature knob to MAX for
maximum cooling. This setting also puts the system in
the recirculation mode and helps to maximize your air
conditioner's performance and your vehicle's fuel
economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest. After
the vehicle's interior reaches a comfortable temperature,
turn the temperature knob clockwise to place the air
conditioning system in the normal mode.
Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use the HEATER or
VENT/HEAT setting with the temperature knob in
the red area.
If you use the engine coolant heater before starting your
engine in cold weather, 20
F (
-8
C) or lower, your
heating system will produce warmer air faster, to heat
the passenger compartment in cold weather.
The use of an engine coolant heater also reduces the
time it takes for the engine to reach normal operating
temperature, and shortens the time it takes the heater to
reach full output. For more information, see ªEngine
Coolant Heaterº in the Index.
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Air will flow through the
instrument panel outlets.
Your vehicle's ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. With the side
windows closed, air will flow into the front air inlet grilles,
through the vehicle, and out the air exhaust valves.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or
the air conditioning fan is running, unless you have the
recirculation button pushed in. For more information on
the recirculation button, see ªAir Conditioningº earlier
in this section.

3-7 Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see running across the rear window, are
the rear window defogger. The lines warm the glass.
To turn on the rear window
defogger, press this button
next to the fan control knob.
The rear window defogger
will only work if the
ignition switch is turned
to RUN. For best results,
first clear the window
of as much snow or ice
as possible.
The defogger will shut itself off after several minutes. If
you need additional warming time, press the button
again. You can turn the defogger off at any time by
pressing the button.
The rear window defogger button will activate the rear
window defogger and the heated outside rearview mirrors.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don't use a razor blade or anything else sharp on
the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
