To replace the battery, do the following:
1. Insert a thin coin, or similar object, into the notch
near the key ring. Turn it counterclockwise to
separate the two halves of the transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil eraser
to remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Remove and replace the battery. Replace it as the
instructions inside the cover indicate.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be sure
no moisture can enter.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter.Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on Vent or with RECIRC turned off. That
will force outside air into your vehicle. See
ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.

When it's dark enough outside, your regular intensity
headlamps will come on at full brightness and the DRL
lighting will turn off. The parking lamps that normally
come on with your headlamps will also come on. When
it's bright enough outside, the regular intensity
headlamps and parking lamps will turn back off, and the
reduced brightness DRL lighting will turn back on.
To idle your vehicle during the day with the DRL off,
shift the transaxle into PARK (P). The DRL will stay off
until you shift out of PARK (P).
At night, you can turn off all exterior lamps when you
are in PARK (P) by turning the Twilight Sentinel knob
all the way to OFF.
If the knob was already in OFF, it must be cycled to ON
and back to OFF. Turn the knob clockwise to turn the
exterior lighting back on. The lamps will come back on
automatically when you put the transaxle in gear.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.Fog Lamps
The fog lamps button is located below the twilight knob,
to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument panel.
An indicator light in the button will glow when the fog
lamps are on. Your parking lamps will also come on
automatically while the fog lamps are active.
If your fog lamps are on when you use your high beams
or flash
-to-pass feature, the fog lamps will be disabled
while the feature is being used.

Twilight Sentinel

The Twilight Sentinel will keep your headlamps on for
up to three minutes, to light your way when you leave
your vehicle.
To operate the Twilight Sentinel, turn the DELAY knob
located to the left of the steering column on the
instrument panel fully clockwise for the three
-minute
delay. Turn it counterclockwise to reduce the delay. Turn
the knob to OFF to turn the Twilight Sentinel off.
At night, you can turn off all exterior lamps when you
are in PARK (P) by turning the Twilight Sentinel knob
all the way to OFF. If the knob was already in OFF, it
must be cycled to ON then back to OFF, to turn the
exterior lighting off. The lamps will come back on when
you turn the knob clockwise.If the Twilight Sentinel lighting is active, it can be
disabled by turning on the manual parking lamps. This
lighting will be disabled until the key is turned from ON
or until the manual parking lamps are turned off.
Also, it's possible that your headlamps may go out if
you drive from a dark area into a bright area like a
lighted parking lot. If this happens, turn on your
headlamps with the exterior lamp control.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the exterior lamp control has been left on, the exterior
lamps will turn off approximately 10 minutes after the
ignition is turned to OFF and a door has been opened.
This protects against draining the battery in case you
have accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps
on. If you need to leave the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn the
lamps back on after turning the ignition to OFF and
opening a door. To delay the lamps from turning off,
see ªTwilight Sentinel

º in the Index.

Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness Control
When it is dark outside, you can brighten or dim your
instrument panel cluster lights using the DIM knob,
located to the left of the steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the instrument
panel cluster lights and displays. Turn the knob
clockwise all the way to turn on the interior courtesy
lamps. Turn the knob counterclockwise to dim the
instrument panel cluster lights and displays and to turn
off the courtesy lamps.
Courtesy Lamps
If it is dark enough outside, when any door is opened,
several lamps will come on. They make it easier for you
to enter and leave the vehicle. Turn the dimmer knob all
the way clockwise to turn the interior courtesy lamps on.
Illuminated Entry
If it is dark enough outside and you press the button
with the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter (if equipped), the interior courtesy lamps
will come on and stay on for approximately 25 seconds.
The lamps will turn off immediately by pressing the
button with the lock symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter, by turning the ignition key to ON or by
activating the power door locks.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lamps will turn off
after 10 minutes to save your battery.
Delayed Entry Lighting
When you open the door to enter your vehicle, the
interior lamps will come on if it is dark enough outside.
When you close the door with the ignition off, the
interior lamps will stay on for 25 seconds or until the
ignition is turned on. Locking the doors with the
power door lock switch, or with the lock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped), will
override the delayed entry lighting and the lamps will
turn off immediately.

2-110
When the ignition key is turned to ON, all possible
HUD images will come on, then the HUD will
operate normally.
If you never look at your instrument panel cluster, you
may not see something important, such as a warning
light. So be sure to scan your displays and controls and
the driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD.
NOTICE:
Although the HUD image appears to be near
the front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking
aid. The HUD was not designed for that purpose.
If you try to use it that way, such as in a parking
lot, you may misjudge distance and run
into something.
The HUD controls are located to the left of the
steering column.
1. Start your engine and turn the HUD INTENSITY
knob all of the way clockwise to MAX (Maximum).
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by
ambient light, and where you have set the HUD
INTENSITY knob.

2-111
2. Adjust the seat, if necessary, before setting the height
using the IMAGE switch.
Press and hold the top of the IMAGE switch, raising
the HUD image as far as possible. Then press on the
bottom of the HUD IMAGE switch to move the
image down, so the image is as low as possible, but
in full view.
3. Turn the INTENSITY knob counterclockwise until
the HUD image is no brighter than necessary. To turn
the HUD off, turn the HUD INTENSITY knob all
the way counterclockwise.
If the sun comes out, or it becomes cloudy, or if you turn
on your headlamps, you may need to adjust the HUD
brightness using the HUD INTENSITY knob. Polarized
sunglasses could make the HUD image harder to see.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or clarity of
the HUD image.Spray household glass cleaner on a soft, clean cloth.
Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it. Do not spray
cleaner directly on the lens, because the cleaner fluid
could leak inside the unit.
If you can't see the HUD image when the ignition is on,
check to see if:

The HUD unit is covered,

the HUD INTENSITY knob is adjusted correctly,

the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height, or

a fuse in the fuse panel may have blown. See ªFuses
and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
If the HUD image is not clear, it could be too bright.
Move the HUD INTENSITY knob counterclockwise.
You may need to clean the windshield and HUD lens.
Your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever
have to have a new windshield, be sure to get one
designed for HUD. If you don't, the HUD image may
look blurred and out of focus.
