At night, you can turn off
all exterior lamps when you
are in PARK (P) by turning
the twilight sentinel knob
all the way to MIN.
If it was on MIN, turn the knob clockwise to turn it on,
then back to MIN. The lamps will come back on when
you put the transaxle in gear.
Twilight sentinel will keep your headlamps on for up
to three minutes, to light your way when you leave
your vehicle.
See ªTwilight Sentinelº in the Index to learn how to
operate this feature.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.Fog Lamps
The fog lamps switch is
in the front of the front
reading lamps.
An indicator light in the switch will glow when the fog
lamps are on. Your low
-beam headlamps or parking
lamps must be on for your fog lamps to work.
If your fog lamps are on when you use your
flash
-to-pass feature, the fog lamps will be disabled
while the flash
-to-pass feature is being used.

Sometimes, strong magnetic fields can affect the
compass. If the CALIBRATE light comes on as shown
above, try calibrating the compass as follows:
1. Drive the car to an open, flat area.
2. Press and hold the MODE button until the
CALIBRATE light reappears.
3. Release the MODE button. The heading display will
start to rotate.
4. Drive the car in small circles. Don't drive faster than
10 mph (16 km/h).
5. Drive in circles until the CALIBRATE light goes
out. It usually takes one to five circles.
6. Your compass should be calibrated. You will know
this when the direction bars are on and the
CALIBRATE light is off.Compass Accuracy
Your compass may show different headings around
bridges, power lines, large metal objects and steep hills.
This is normal and is true of compasses in general.
If you put large metal objects like golf clubs in the trunk
they could affect accuracy. If the accuracy is close, the
compass will adapt to these objects over time.
If you use an antenna with a magnetic base, it is best to
mount it away from the center of the trunk near the
rear window.
The rear defog system can affect accuracy, and the
compass corrects for the rear defog. However, if the rear
defog is turned on while making sharp turns, the
accuracy may be off. When you turn the rear defog off
again, the accuracy returns to normal.
Do not turn on the rear defog if you are trying to
calibrate. The system will not allow the calibration. You
will hear the chime, and CALIBRATE will flash for a
few seconds.
Be aware that metal objects are sometimes buried in the
ground. They can affect accuracy and you may not know
they are there. As an example, many concrete roads
have metal reinforcements inside.

The lines you see on the rear window warm the glass.
Press the button to start warming your window. If you
have the standard system, a light will glow in the switch
while the defogger is working.After 10 minutes it will turn off by itself, or press the
button during the heating cycle to turn it off. If you need
additional warming time, push the button again. The
system will then operate for five minutes before going
off by itself.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the defogger grid. The repairs wouldn't be
covered by your warranty.

NOTICE:
Use the proper towing equipment to avoid
damage to the bumper, fascia or fog lamp areas

essential that the correct towing equipment is used to
tow a vehicle. Your vehicle can be towed with wheel
-lift
or car
-carrier equipment.Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if
you need to have your vehicle towed. See ªRoadside
Assistanceº in the Index.
Engine Overheating
You will find a coolant temperature gage or the warning
light about a hot engine on your vehicle's instrument
panel. See ªCoolant Temperature Gageº and ªLow
Coolant Warning Lightº in the Index.
