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

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.

vehicle, and will be directed based on the position of
the mode knob. The temperature can also be adjusted
using the temperature knob.
Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the
temperature of the air ¯owing into the passenger
area. Turn the knob clockwise toward the red area for
warmer air. Turn the knob counterclockwise toward
the blue area for cooler air.

the ¯oor outlets, and the rest of the air is divided
between the windshield defroster outlets and the side
window defroster outlets.
W(Defog):Air¯ow is delivered through the ¯oor
outlets, the windshield defroster outlets and the side
window defroster outlets. The air ¯ow can be divided
between ¯oor and defrost depending upon where
the knob is placed between the settings.

remaining air to the ¯oor vents. A little air is directed
toward the windshield and the side window vents. Cooler
air is directed to the upper vents and warmer air to
the ¯oor vents.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
¯oor vents with a little air directed to the windshield and
the side window vents.

off and turns on again. This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate control
system is used properly. There are two modes to choose
from to clear fog or frost from your windshield. Use
the defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture
and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly.

-(Defog):This mode directs the air to the ¯oor
outlets, windshield and the side window vents. The air
conditioning compressor will run automatically to
dehumidify the air to prevent window fogging. The
recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the defog
mode.
1(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield and the side window vents, with only a
little air directed to the ¯oor vents. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically to dehumidify the
air to prevent window fogging. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in defrost mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.

An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you
can turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without
removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer
quickly, and just as quickly straighten the wheel
once you have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving
at all times and wear safety belts properly.
QUADRASTEERŸ
The QUADRASTEERŸ System has a control and
diagnostic module that monitors and records current
system status and operational information.
If your vehicle is equipped with the 4 Wheel Steer
system it has the ability to steer the vehicle with all four
wheels.
Once the 4 Wheel Steer mode is selected, it is
recommended to leave the vehicle in this mode at all
times, and during all driving and weather conditions.
You can select this mode at any speed, however, if you
are turning the system will not engage until the turn
is complete.
