2-48 Map Lamps
These lamps are located in the front overhead console
(near the windshield). Press either button to turn the
driver's or passenger's side lamp on and press the button
again to turn the lamp off.
These lamps also come on when any door is opened or
unlocked when it is dark outside.
Mirrors
Electrochromic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
This mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from
headlamps behind you. A photocell on the back of
the mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside.
Another photocell built into the mirror surface senses
when headlamps are behind you.
2-50 Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger's side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror's surface is curved so you can see more from the
driver's seat.
CAUTION:
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Heated Rearview Mirrors
The manual folding outside rearview mirrors are heated.
To heat the mirrors, press the rear window defogger
button. See ºRear Window Defoggerº in the Index.
Manual Folding Outside Rearview Mirrors
The driver's and passenger's outside mirrors move
forward and rearward (ªbreak
-awayº) to help prevent
injury and/or damage to your vehicle.
Storage Compartments
Glove Box
The glove box is located in front of the passenger's seat.
To lock the glove box door, insert the key in the lock
cylinder and turn it counterclockwise. Turn the key
clockwise to unlock the door.
The glove box is air conditioned. This helps to keep
snack items cool while traveling. In order for cool air to
enter the glove box, the air conditioning must be turned
on. Use the slide control inside and at the rear of the
glove box to turn the air flow on and off. Moving the
slide control over the small hole turns the cool air off
and moving the control away from the hole turns the
cool air on.
3-7 Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the
rear window warm the
glass. With your vehicle's
engine running, press
this button to turn on
the rear defogger.
The rear window defogger heats the rear window
and both outside rearview mirrors. The system will
automatically shut off after about 15 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
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 rear defogger grid. The repairs wouldn't be
covered by your warranty.
Ventilation System
The ventilation system supplies outside air into the vehicle
when it is moving. Outside air will also enter the vehicle
when the heater or the air conditioning fan is running.
The front outlets are located in the center and at each
side of the instrument panel. You can adjust the
direction of airflow by moving the center control levers
or you can stop the airflow by moving the dial located
on each side of the outlets to the ªOº position.
4-24
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to
the sides. Check your rearview mirrors and your
instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service
or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both. For safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from
driving in flat or rolling terrain.If you drive regularly in steep country, or if you're
planning to visit there, here are some tips that can make
your trips safer and more enjoyable.
Keep your vehicle in good shape. Check all fluid
levels and also the brakes, tires, cooling system and
transmission. These parts can work hard on
mountain roads.
Know how to go down hills. The most important
thing to know is this: let your engine do some of the
slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when you go
down a steep or long hill.
CAUTION:
If you don't shift down, your brakes could get so
hot that they wouldn't work well. You would then
have poor braking or even none going down a hill.
You could crash. Shift down to let your engine
assist your brakes on a steep downhill slope.
