ignition is turned ON. If the light
fails to illuminate, continues to flash
or remains on, have the system
serviced immediately.
Safety belt

ignition is turned to the ON position
to remind you to fasten your safety
belts. For more information, refer to

chapter.
Brake system warning
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
to indicate a system check. Also
illuminates if the parking brake is
engaged. If the brake warning lamp
does not illuminate at these times, seek service immediately. Illumination
after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the
brake system should be inspected immediately.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
to indicate a system check. If the
light remains on, continues to flash
or fails to illuminate, have the
system serviced immediately. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake
system is disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake
warning light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.

²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don't drive with the climate control system in the OFF or
MAX A/C position.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don't drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
²Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle's climate control
system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to ªbreatheº
through the outside air inlet duct.
²Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle's climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been ªaired outº, operate the climate
control system as desired.
²Do not put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the
base of the windshield.
²Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These
objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in
addition to damaging the climate control system.
Controls and features

All rear seat occupants and/or cargo must be properly restrained
and clear of the back window opening before operating the
power down rear window.
Turn control counter-clockwise and
release to lower window all the way
to the full open position.
Turn control clockwise and release
to raise the window all the way to
the full closed position.
Push control once to move window
(up or down) to the vent position
(open approximately 2.00 inches for
cab ventilation). If the window is
already in the vent position and the
control is pressed, no movement will
occur.
Controls and features

Normal Operation
If an ªupº command is selected and the ignition is switched to OFF or
START during window travel, the window will:
1. stop if it is between the vent position and fully closed or
2. continue to move up to the vent position if it is between vent and fully
open.
If a ªdownº or ªventº command is selected and the ignition is switched to
OFF or START during window travel, the window will move to the fully
open or vent position, respectively, and then stop.
The ªdownº command is the only one allowed after the ignition has been
switched to OFF or START while the window is moving.
Bounce-Back
When the back window is moving upward and an obstacle interferes with
the window's movement, the back window will reverse direction and
move toward the fully open position. This is known as ªbounce-backº.
Security Override
If, during a bounce-back condition, the control is held in the clockwise
(ªupº) direction for at least two seconds,the back window will travel
up with no bounce-back protection. If the control is released before
the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is switched to OFF or
START, the back window will reverse direction with bounce-back
re-enabled.
The following are possible reasons for using the security override:
²Ice on the window causing a restriction.
²Window unexpectedly reverses.
Position recovery mode
If the window fails to operate in ªnormalº operation mode, the control
can be turned and held in the active position (up or down window
direction) which will move the window in increments of approximately
15mm (0.6 inches) in the selected direction. (The ªventº feature is
inoperable in this mode.) This feature allows the window to be closed.
Once the window has reached the full closed, the window should again
operate in ªnormalº operation mode. If the window still does not operate
correctly, see your dealer for service.
