You can open the doors manually using the knob next to
the headlamp assembly. Turn the knob counterclockwise
until the doors are open. Turn the knob clockwise to
close the doors manually.
The headlamp doors should be open when driving in
icy or snowy conditions to prevent the doors from
freezing closed and when washing the vehicle to help
clean the headlamps.
NOTICE:
In order to avoid possible contact of the hood to
the headlamp doors, either take care in raising
the hood with the headlamps up, or turn off the
headlamps prior to opening the hood.
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.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel cluster
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 a door, you will hear a chime
reminding you to turn off the lamps.
Flash-to-Pass Feature
To use the flash-to-pass feature, 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.

Exterior Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully
functional daytime running lights are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the front turn signal lamps
come on when the following conditions are met:

The ignition is on,

the headlamp switch is off and

the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps
will be on. The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker and
other lamps won't be on. Your instrument panel won't
be lit up either.
To idle the vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in OFF. Then start the
vehicle. The DRL, headlamps and parking lamps will
stay off until you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps (If Equipped)
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.

2-56
Power/Heated Remote Control Mirrors
The electric mirror control is on the driver's door. It
controls the driver's and passenger's mirrors. To adjust
either mirror, press the LT (left) or RT (right) button to
select the mirror, then press the arrows to adjust the
direction of the mirror. The mirror will stay selected for
20 seconds after the last adjustment. An indicator light
will come on above the mirror that you select.
Your preferred mirror position can be stored if you have
the memory option. See ªMemoryº in the Index.
For operation of the heated outside mirrors, see
ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index.
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.

DEFOG: This setting divides the air between the
windshield and lower outlets with a small amount of air
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 of air
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.
OUTSIDE 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 outside 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.Operating the system in the recirculation mode may
cause fogging of the vehicle's windows when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, switch the
system to either the DEFOG or DEFROST mode and
increase the fan speed. To avoid re
-fogging of the
windows, operate the system in the OUTSIDE
AIR mode.
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.

3-8
A/C: This button turns the air conditioning
compressor off or on under most conditions. 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 does not operate at temperatures below
approximately 35
F to 40
F (2
C to 4
C). The light
on the A/C button will flash if pressed when air
conditioning is not available. The air conditioning cools
and dehumidifies the air coming into the vehicle. The air
conditioning cannot be turned off in DEFROST and
DEFOG, as it helps to remove moisture from the
vehicle. It also helps to keep the windows clear.
If the system is operating in the AUTO mode, turning
the air conditioning off will delete AUTO from the
digital display and show current mode and fan settings.
The AUTO button must be pressed to return to the
automatic mode operation.
The air conditioning may be forced off at high engine
speeds or high engine oil or coolant temperatures. OUTSIDE AIR: Press this button to provide
outside air. 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 OUTSIDE AIR
instead of recirculate, as required, to control the
temperature in the vehicle. By pressing OUTSIDE AIR,
the system will lock into the outside air mode. Any
adjustment to the air intake must then be made
manually. OUTSIDE AIR should be used when trying to
defrost or defog windows to help reduce moisture inside
of the vehicle.
RECIRCULATE: Press this button to limit the
amount of outside 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. Recirculation is not available when using the
defrost or defog mode because outside air is need to
reduce moisture inside of the vehicle.
