Vehicle Personalization
Memory Seat
If your vehicle has this
feature, then the controls
for the memory function
are located on the driver's
door.
These buttons are used to program and recall memory
settings for the driver's seat, both the driver's and
passenger's outside mirror, and the radio station
presets. The settings for these features can be
personalized for both driver 1 and driver 2. Driver 1 or
driver 2 corresponds to the memory buttons labeled
1and 2 on the driver's door.To store your memory seat, mirrors and radio presets,
do the following:
1. Adjust the driver's seat (including the seatback
recliner, lumbar, and side wing area), both of the
outside mirrors, and the radio station presets to your
preference.
2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 (for driver 1or 2) button
of the memory control for three seconds. A double
chime will sound to let you know that the position
has been stored.
To repeat the procedure for a second driver, follow the
preceding steps, but press the other numbered
memory control button.
Each time button 1 or 2 is pressed and released while
the vehicle is in PARK (P), a single chime will sound and
the memory position will be recalled.
If you use the unlock button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to enter your vehicle, the preset driver's
seat, mirror positions and the radio station presets will
be recalled if programmed to do so through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). The numbers on the
back of the transmitters, 1 or 2, correspond to the
numbers on the memory controls.

Windshield Wipers
9
:OFF
8:MIST
You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to mist. Hold it
there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers
will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold
the band on mist longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain
or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to the top of the lever, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from
you to the ®rst solid band past the delay settings.
position. For high-speed wiping, turn the band further, to
the second solid band past the delay settings. To
stop the wipers, move the band to off position.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
There is a paddle marked with the windshield washer
symbol at the top of the multifunction lever. To
spray washer ¯uid on the windshield, push the paddle.
The wipers will clear the window and then either
stop or return to your preset speed.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer ¯uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.

Exterior Lamps
The switch on the driver's side of your instrument panel
operates the exterior lamps.
Turn the control clockwise to operate the lamps.
The exterior lamp switch has four positions:
9(OFF):Turning the switch to this position turns off
the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic
headlamps. An indicator light will illuminate when
the position is selected.AUTO (Automatic):Turning the control to this position
puts the system into automatic headlamp mode. An
indicator light will illuminate when this position is
selected.
;(Parking Lamps):Turning the control to this
position turns on the parking lamps, together with the
following:
·Sidemarker Lamps
·Taillamps
·License Plate Lamps
·Instrument Panel Lights
·Roof Marker Lamps (If Equipped)
2(Headlamps):Turning the switch to this position
turns on the headlamps, together with the previously
listed lamps and lights.
You can switch your headlamps from high to low-beam
by pushing the turn signal/high-beam lever towards
the instrument panel.
A circuit breaker protects your headlamps. If you have
an electrical overload, your headlamps will ¯icker on and
off. Have your headlamp wiring checked right away if
this happens.
3-14

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, your automatic headlamp
system will turn on your headlamps at the normal
brightness along with other lamps such as the taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps and the instrument panel
lights. The radio lights will also be dim.
Your vehicle is equipped with a light sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel in the defroster grille. Be
sure it is not covered, or the system will be on whenever
the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on your headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast weather
or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems so that
driving under bridges or bright overhead street lights does
not affect the system. The DRL and automatic headlamp
system will only be affected when the light sensor sees a
change in lighting lasting longer than the delay.
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
bright enough outside. During that delay, your instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sureyour instrument panel brightness control is in the full
bright position. See ªInstrument Panel Brightness
Controlº underInterior Lamps on page 3-18.
To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp system
off, turn the control to the off position.
You may be able to turn off your automatic headlamp
system. See
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)later in this
section for more information.
You may be able to turn off your Automatic Headlamp
System. See ªDaytime Running Lamps (DRL)º later in
this section for more information.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need them.
Lamps On Reminder
A reminder chime will sound when your headlamps or
parking lamps are manually turned on and your
ignition is off, in LOCK, ACCESSORY, or your door is
open. To disable the chime, turn the light off then
back on.
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.
3-15

Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter
Your vehicle may be equipped with a front ashtray
located near the center of the instrument panel. Pull on
the door to open it.
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.
To remove the front ashtray, pull the ashtray toward
you. To replace the ashtray, place the ashtray on
the slides at the side of its location in the instrument
panel. To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way,
and let go. When it's ready, it will pop back out by
itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is
heating will not allow the lighter to back away from
the heating element when it is hot. Damage from
overheating may occur to the lighter or heating
element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a
cigarette lighter in while it is heating.
