Night Vision System (Option)
The Night Vision System can help you see better when
you drive at night. The system works by sensing heat
given off by objects in its field of view. Warmer objects,
such as pedestrians, animals and other moving vehicles,
will appear whiter. Colder objects, such as the sky, signs
and parked vehicles, will appear darker.
Use this system as an aid to help you in seeing objects
beyond the headlamps. Do this by occasionally glancing
at the image as you would a rearview mirror. Do not
stare at the image.
The Night Vision System can be operated if:

The instrument panel brightness knob is in any
position except OFF

it is dark enough outside,

the headlamps or fog lamps (if equipped) are on and

the ignition is turned to ON.

2-131
The controls for this feature are located to the left of and
below the steering wheel. They are used to adjust the
brightness and location of the image. Adjust the IMAGE
control so the image is as low as possible while
remaining visible.
Slide the dimmer control until the image is no brighter
than necessary to clearly and comfortably see the image.When the system comes on, you'll see the Night Vision
System symbol in the image. After about one minute,
you should see the view of the road ahead. If you don't
see the image after about two minutes (on cold days it
may take longer for the image to display), there may be
something wrong with the system. See your dealer
for service.
CAUTION:
If the Night Vision System image is too bright, or
too high in your field of view, it may take you
more time to see things you need to see when it's
dark outside. Be sure to keep the image dim and
placed low in your field of view.
Remember that the Night Vision System can only help
you see objects that are warmer or colder than the
surroundings. It can't sense things like brake lights, turn
signals or emergency flashers, traffic lights or signs.

2-132
In dry, clear weather, the system can see pedestrians,
animals and the direction of the road ahead. In light rain,
light snow or light fog the image may not be as clear
and you may not be able to see the direction of the road
ahead. In more severe weather conditions, the image
may be unclear and not usable.
CAUTION:
Don't use the Night Vision System to replace
your normal view of the road ahead. It can't tell
you how far away things are. It senses only
warmer or colder objects, not all objects. Driving
by staring at the image might cause you not to see
important objects in the road ahead. If you don't
see something in time, you could have a crash in
which you and others could be injured. Use the
Night Vision System only as a driving aid.
It is also important to keep your windshield, the HUD
(Head
-Up Display for the Night Vision System) lens
and the camera lens clean. If you do not keep everything
clean, system performance may be affected.The HUD system is located on the driver's side of the
instrument panel, next to the windshield and the camera
is located behind the center of the front grille.
Use only household glass cleaner and a soft cloth
to clean the HUD or camera lens. Wipe gently and
dry thoroughly.
NOTICE:
When cleaning, be careful not to scratch the
HUD or camera lenses. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the HUD lens because
the cleaner could leak inside the unit and
cause damage.
The camera must also be aligned to work correctly. If
the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer. Do not
attempt to adjust the camera yourself.

Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.
One reason is that some drivers are likely to be
impaired
-- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.Here are some tips on night driving.

Drive defensively.

Don't drink and drive.

Since you can't see as well, you may need to
slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles.

Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your
headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.

In remote areas, watch for animals.

If you're tired, pull off the road in a safe place
and rest.
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But as
we get older these differences increase. A 50
-year-old
driver may require at least twice as much light to see the
same thing at night as a 20
-year-old.
What you do in the daytime can also affect your night
vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright
sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your eyes will
have less trouble adjusting to night. But if you're
driving, don't wear sunglasses at night. They may cut
down on glare from headlamps, but they also make a lot
of things invisible.

6-10 Hood Release
To lift the hood, use the following steps:
1. Pull the lever inside the
vehicle to open the
hood. It is located on the
lower left side of the
instrument panel.
With Night Vision
Without Night Vision
2. Then go to the front of the vehicle and find the
secondary hood release lever. The lever is located
under the front edge of the grille on vehicles with
Night Vision and under the bottom edge of the grille
on vehicles without Night Vision. Move the release
lever and raise the hood.
