2-47 Outside Mirrors
Adjust your outside mirrors so you can see a little of
the side of your vehicle.
Fold the outside mirrors in when entering a car wash.
To do this, pull the mirrors in toward the vehicle.
Push the mirrors back out when finished.
Power Remote Control Mirror
This control is located on the driver's door.
Turn the control to the left or right to choose the mirror;
then press the control to move the mirror in the direction
that you want the mirror to go. To secure the mirror
settings turn the knob back to the center position.
Convex Outside Mirror
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 or left lane,
you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside mirror
or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.
Heated Outside Rearview Mirrors
When you operate the rear window defogger, a defogger
also warms the heated driver's and passenger's outside
rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice, snow and
condensation. See ªRear Window Defoggerº in the
Index for more information.

Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed. Use the mode button to cycle through the
following four air delivery modes:
(Panel): This setting will deliver air to the
instrument panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): This setting will deliver warmer air to
the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets.
(Floor): This setting will deliver air to the
floor outlets.
(Defog): This setting will deliver air to the
floor and windshield outlets.
OFF: Press this button to turn the system off. Some
fresh air will continue to flow through the vehicle from
the floor outlets. The system will try to maintain the
previously chosen temperature setting.
(Recirculation): Press this button to limit
the amount of outside air entering your vehicle. This is
helpful when you are trying to limit odors entering your
vehicle and for maximum air conditioning performance
in hot weather. Press this button again to allow outside
air to enter the vehicleIf you select recirculation while in defrost, defog or
floor, the light on the button will flash and go out to let
you know this is not allowed. This is to prevent fogging.
When the weather is cool or damp, operating the system
in recirculation for extended periods of time may cause
fogging of the vehicle's windows. To clear the fog,
select either defog or FRONT defrost. Be sure A/C OFF
is not selected to allow the air conditioning compressor
to run automatically and help dehumidify the air.
(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn
the air conditioning compressor on and off. When air
conditioning is selected or in AUTO mode, the system
will run the air conditioning automatically to cool and
dehumidify the air entering the vehicle. If you select
A/C OFF while in FRONT defrost, the A/C OFF text
will flash to let you know this is not allowed. This is to
prevent fogging.
FRONT (Defrost): Press this button to defrost
the windshield. The system will automatically control
the fan speed if you select defrost from AUTO.
If the outside temperature is 40
F (4
C) or warmer,
your air conditioning compressor will automatically
run to help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield.

3-6 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
By pressing the AUTO button the system will cool and
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. Also while in this
mode, the system will maximize its performance by
using recirculation as necessary.
On cool, but sunny days use the bi
-level mode to deliver
warmer air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn the
temperature control to the desired setting.
Heating
Press AUTO and adjust the temperature by turning
the temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
You may also adjust the automatic system manually
by pressing the MODE button and selecting floor.
Again, adjust the temperature by turning the
temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise.Outside air will be heated and sent through the floor
outlets. The heater works best if you keep the windows
closed while using it.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use defog to keep the windshield
and side windows clear. Use the FRONT defrost button
to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in
extremely humid or cold conditions.
If you select FRONT defrost or defog from AUTO,
the system will control the fan speed. Adjust the
temperature and fan speed to your comfort level.
After the windshield is clear, adjust the temperature
to your normal setting and press the AUTO button to
return to AUTO mode and fan control.
For maximum front defrost performance under
extreme icing or frosting conditions, increase the
temperature setting to 90
F (32
C) and increase
the fan speed to high.

3-7 Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the
rear window warm the
glass. Press the button to
start warming your rear
window. A light will glow
in the button while the
defogger is working.
If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors,
this button will activate them.After 10 minutes it will turn off by itself, or press the
button during the heating cycle to turn it off. If you
need additional warming time, press the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the defogger grid. The repairs wouldn't be
covered by your warranty.

3-9
Move the control in the center of each outlet side-to-side
to direct the air from the outlet. Use the thumbwheel
under the outlet to close the louvers. For the most
efficient airflow and temperature control, keep the
louvers in the fully opened position.
The rear seat outlets can be used to adjust the airflow
toward either seating area, the floor or upward. Move
the control in the center of each outlet side
-to-side to
direct airflow.Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.

In cool damp weather, minimize your use of
recirculation to reduce the chance of fogging
your windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.

3-37 Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution
and clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the side without writing when
handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the CD mechanism.
Diversity Antenna System
Your AM FM antennas are located in the rear side
windows. Be sure that the inside surfaces of the rear side
windows are not scratched and that the lines on the glass
are not damaged. If the inside surfaces are damaged,
they could interfere with radio reception.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from the
inside of the rear side windows with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may affect
your radio's ability to pick up stations clearly.
The repairs wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for
the AM FM antennas or place the cellular telephone
antenna over the grid lines.
Chime Level Adjustment
The volume level of the vehicle's chimes can be
controlled by the radio. To change the volume level,
press and hold pushbutton six with the ignition on
and the radio power off. The chime volume level will
change from the normal level to loud, and LOUD will
be displayed on the radio. To change back to the default
or normal setting, press and hold pushbutton six again.
The chime level will change from the loud level to
normal, and NORMAL will be displayed.
