2-51 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 lamps 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 exterior lamp 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, press the button located on
the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column.
A light in the button will come on when the fog lamps
are on. Press the button again to turn the fog lamps off.

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 (Air Conditioning): 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.

Function Buttons
These buttons control the climate control ON/OFF,
air intake, front defrost, rear defrost and the air
conditioning operation.
OFF: Press the OFF button to turn off the climate
control system. This is the only setting that fully
shuts off the fan. The digital display will show only the
outside temperature. You can still adjust the driver set
temperature, the passenger temperature offset and the
air intake mode while in OFF.
A/C (Air Conditioning): 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.

3-9
(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 needed to
reduce moisture inside of the vehicle.
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.
FRONT: Press the FRONT defrost button to
quickly remove fog or frost from the windshield.
This setting directs most of the airflow to the windshield
and a small amount toward the lower and side window
outlets. The light on the button will come on and the
digital display will show the defrost mode symbol and
fan speed when the front defrost mode is being used.
Pressing FRONT defrost again will return the system to
the last operating mode and the air intake mode will be
in outside air.
If the system is in front defrost when you shut the
engine off, it will restart in FRONT defrost unless the
engine is off for longer than 40 minutes. If the engine is
off longer than 40 minutes, the system will restart in the
operating mode you had set prior to FRONT defrost and
the air intake mode will be in outside air.
