Wiper-Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps
after the windshield wipers have been in use for
about six seconds. To operate, the Twilight Sentinel
ž
feature must be turned on.
When the exterior lamp control is in the off or parking
lamp position and the wiper control is on INT, LO or HI,
the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will appear
on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
When the ignition is turned to OFF, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. The wiper-activated
headlamps will also turn off if the Twilight Sentinel
ž
or the windshield wipers are turned off.
Lamps On Reminder
A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control
is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position
and the driver's door is opened with the ignition off.
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
®rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:
·It is still daylight and the ignition is on,
·the exterior lamp control is in the off position and
·the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at
reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior
lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be
on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument
panel won't be lit up either.
When the Twilight Sentinel
žlever is on and it's dark
enough outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will turn off and normal low-beam headlamp
operation will occur.
3-17

When the Twilight Sentinelžlever is on and it's bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and
the high-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will
take over. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on immediately.
Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,
your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
knob is in the full bright position. See ªInstrument Panel
Brightnessº under
Interior Lamps on page 3-21.
If it's dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
ž
lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver's Information Center (DIC). This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended even though the DRL are
still illuminated. Turning on the Twilight Sentinel
žor the
headlamps will deactivate the DRL and remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. If the parking
lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL
will still deactivate and the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will continue to be displayed.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off
the Twilight Sentinel
žand shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL. The DRL will stay off until you shift out
of PARK (P).To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel
žand manually turn on the parking
lamps or fog lamps.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
-(Fog Lamps):Press the button with this symbol on
it, located next to the exterior lamp control, to turn the
fog lamps on.
When the ignition is on and you press the fog lamp
button, a small indicator light in the fog lamp button, the
LIGHTS ON and fog lamp indicator lights on the
instrument panel cluster will come on to indicate that the
fog and the parking lamps are on.
Press the fog lamp button again to turn off the
fog lamps.
If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will turn off. They'll turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
When the Twilight Sentinel
žis on and the fog lamps are
turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking
lamps will remain on.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.

This feature controls the brightness of the instrument
panel lights.
The knob for this feature is
located to the right of the
Twilight Sentinel
žlever.
Press the knob to release it to the outward position.

turned off. Only the driver's door controls and ignition
switch backlighting functions will operate.
If the lever is in AUTO and a front door is opened, the
overhead console light, front hush panel lamps and rear
footwell lamps in the door will automatically come on.
When the rear door is opened, all the front door lighting
and rear overhead lamps will come on.
When the lever is in ON, the courtesy lamps are turned

3-21

Entry Lighting
The entry lighting system automatically turns on the
courtesy lamps and the backlighting to the door switches
and to the exterior lamp control when a door is opened
or if you press the remote keyless entry transmitter
unlock button. If activated due to the transmitter,
the lighting will remain active for about 40 seconds.
Since the entry lighting system uses the light sensor, it
must be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps
to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately
25 seconds after the last door is closed. They will dim to
off if the ignition key is placed in ON, or immediately
deactivate if the power locks are activated.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits dimming of the digital displays and
backlighting during daylight hours when the key is in
the ignition and the headlamps are on. This feature
operates with the light sensor for the Twilight
Sentinel
žand is fully automatic. When the light sensor
reads darkness outside and the parking lamps are
active, the digital displays can be adjusted by turning
the instrument panel brightness knob counterclockwise
to dim and clockwise to brighten lighting.
Reading Lamps
The front reading lamps are located in the overhead
console. These lamps and the interior courtesy lamps
come on when a door is opened and it is dark outside.
The rear reading lamps will not come on when a
front door is opened.
The rear courtesy lamps are located on the rear
headliner above the rear seat outboard positions. When
a rear door is opened, both the front and rear reading
lamps come on with the courtesy lamps.
Press the button near each lamp to turn it on and off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.

Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
The ashtrays and cigarette lighters may be ordered
through your dealer.
Notice:Don't put papers or other ¯ammable
items into your ashtrays. Hot cigarettes or other
smoking materials could ignite them, causing
a damaging ®re.
Front Ashtray
The front ashtray is located below the climate control
system on the instrument panel.

Rear Ashtray
The ashtrays are located on the door armrests. To use
an ashtray, lift the lid.
Cigarette Lighter
Notice:Don't hold a cigarette lighter in with your
hand while it is heating. If you do, it won't be able to
back away from the heating element when it's
ready. That can make it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.
The front cigarette lighter is located on the center
console in the passenger's side footwell. Open the ¯ip
out door to access the cigarette lighter. Your vehicle
may also have a lighter on the back of the center
console near the rear seat air outlet.
Press the lighter all the way in and release it. It will
pop back out by itself once the element has heated
for use.
Cigarette lighters can be used to provide electrical
power to accessories. See
Accessory Power Outlets on
page 3-26for more information.

Climate Controls
Dual Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation for your vehicle.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When this button is pressed and
the temperature is set, the system will automatically
control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode and
the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the display.1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting
between 70ÉF (21ÉC) and 80ÉF (27ÉC).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any
faster. If you set the system at the warmest
temperature setting, the system will remain in
manual mode at that temperature and it will not go
into automatic mode.
In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan
speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your vehicle
until warmer air is available. The system will
start out blowing air at the ¯oor but may change
modes automatically as the vehicle warms up
to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The
length of time needed for warm up will depend on
the outside temperature and the length of time
that has elapsed since your vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from
10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if
necessary.
Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of
the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more
information on the solar sensor, see ªSensorsº later in
this section.
