2-66 Daytime Running Lamps Indicator Light

light whenever the DRL are
on. It is also a reminder to
turn on your headlamps
when driving at night.
Check Gages Light

Rear Passenger Control
The rear control works just like the front control. It will
allow second seat passengers to adjust the controls if the
front control is switched to the rear position.
Air Conditioning
Before using your vehicle's air conditioning, open the
windows to clear the vehicle of hot air. This reduces the
time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep
your windows closed for the air conditioner to work at
its best.
You can use MAX A/C with the temperature knob in the
blue area when it's really hot outside and you need to
cool the inside air quickly. MAX A/C lets in only a little
air from the outside.
If you first use MAX A/C, you can then use A/C with
the temperature knob in the blue area, as soon as the
vehicle has cooled down, so outside air will be going
through your vehicle.
If your vehicle has rear air conditioning, setting it on
LO may enhance front A/C performance by allowing
trapped refrigerant in rear lines to circulate.
When the air conditioning is on, you may notice a slight
increase or decrease in engine speed, due to compressor
operation. This is normal because the system is
designed to cycle the compressor on and off to keep
the desired temperature.

3-7
Heating
On cold days, use HEAT with the temperature knob in
the red area. Outside air will be brought in through the
floor outlets. The heater works best if you keep your
windows closed while using it.
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before
starting your engine, your heating system will produce
warmer air faster to heat the passenger compartment in
cold weather. See ªEngine Coolant Heaterº in the Index.
Defrosting
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the
windshield quickly in extremely cold conditions. The
temperature knob should be in the red area and the fan
knob toward high. The air conditioning compressor may
operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
Rear Window Defogger (If Equipped)
If you see lines running across the rear windows, you
have a rear window defogger. The lines warm the glass.
For best results, clear the windows of as much snow or
ice as possible before using the rear window defogger.
To turn on the rear window
defogger, press this button
located near the fan control.
An indicator light in the
button will come on when
the rear window defogger
is working.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
The rear window defogger will turn itself off after
several minutes. If you need additional warming time,
press the button again. Pressing the button when the
indicator light is illuminated will turn the defogger off.
If your vehicle is equipped with heated outside rearview
mirrors, the rear window defogger button will activate
both the rear window defogger and the heated outside
rearview mirrors. See ªHeated Outside Rearview
Mirrorsº in the Index.
