1. Select A/C
2. Modulate the temperature control to maintain comfort.
3. Set the fan speed to HI
4. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

they are free of obstructions and
ensure that children and/or pets
are not in the proximity of the
window openings.
Press and hold the bottom part of the rocker switch to open the window.
Press and hold the top part of the rocker switch to close the window.
One touch down
Allows the driver’s window to open
fully without holding the control
down. Press completely down on
AUTO and release quickly. Press
again to stop.
Window lock
The window lock feature allows only
the driver to operate the power
windows.
To lock out all the window controls
except for the driver’s press the left

The power down back window has
three window position selections:
•Fully open
•Vent
•Fully closed
Turn control counter-clockwise and
release to lower window all the way
to the full open position.
All rear seat occupants and/or cargo must be properly restrained
and clear of the back window opening before operating the
power down rear window.
Turn control clockwise and release
to raise the window all the way to
the full closed position.
Push control once to move window
(up or down) to the vent position
(open approximately 2.00 inches for
cab ventilation). If the window is
already in the vent position and the
control is pressed, no movement will
occur.
Normal Operation
If an “up” command is selected and the ignition is switched to OFF or
START during window travel, the window will:
•stop if it is between the vent position and fully closed or
•continue to move up to the vent position if it is between vent and fully
open.
If a “down” or “vent” command is selected and the ignition is switched to
OFF or START during window travel, the window will move to the fully
open or vent position and then stop.
The “down” command is the only one allowed after the ignition has been
switched to OFF or START while the window is moving.

Bounce-Back
When the back window is moving upward and an obstacle interferes with
the window’s movement, the back window will reverse direction and
move toward the fully open position. This is known as “bounce-back”.
Security Override
If, during a bounce-back condition, the control is held in the clockwise
(“up”) direction for at least two seconds,the back window will travel
up with no bounce-back protection.If the control is released before
the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is switched to OFF or
START, the back window will reverse direction with bounce-back
re-enabled.
The following are possible reasons for using the security override:
•Ice on the window causing a restriction.
•Window unexpectedly reverses.
Position recovery mode
If the window fails to operate in “normal” operation mode, the control
can be turned and held in the active position (up or down window
direction) which will move the window in increments of approximately
15mm (0.6 inches) in the selected direction. (The “vent” feature is
inoperable in this mode.) This feature allows the window to be closed.
Once the window has reached the full closed position, the window
should again operate in the “normal” operation mode. If the window still
does not operate correctly, see your dealer for service.
SETTING AUTOLAMP (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Make sure the headlamp control
is in the OFF position. Leaving the
headlamp control on will override
the autolamp.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON
position or start the vehicle.

How does the Safety Canopysystem work?
The design and development of the
Safety Canopy
system included
recommended testing procedures
that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as
the Side Air Bag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side airbags (including the Safety
Canopy
).
The Safety Canopy
system
consists of the following:
•An inflatable nylon curtain with a
gas generator concealed behind
the headliner and above the doors
(one on each side of vehicle).
•A headliner designed to flex open
above the side doors to allow Safety Canopy
deployment.
•The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used
for the front airbags.
•Two crash sensors mounted in the b-pillars (one on each side).
•Two crash sensors located at the c-pillar (one on each side).
•Rollover sensor in the restraints control module (RCM).
The Safety Canopy
system, in combination with seat belts, can help
reduce the risk of severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact
collision or rollover event.
Children 12 years old and under should always be properly restrained in
the second or third row seats. The Safety Canopy
will not interfere
with children restrained using a properly installed child or booster seat
because it is designed to inflate downward from the headliner above the
doors along the side window opening.
The Safety Canopy
system is designed to activate when the vehicle
sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the side crash sensor to
close an electrical circuit that initiates Safety Canopy
inflation or when
a certain likelihood of a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.
The Safety Canopy
is mounted to roof side-rail sheet metal, behind the
headliner, above the first and second row seats. In certain lateral
