•Recirculated air
(recirculated air) — Used to
manually enable or disable the
operation of recirculated air in all
modes except Defrost. When the air
conditioning is operating,
recirculated air helps to reduce the
amount of time required to cool the
inside of the vehicle. Recirculated
air will reduce undesirable odors
from entering the vehicle.
Recirculated air cannot be selected in Defrost, as interior fogging may
occur. In Floor and Floor and Defrost modes, the recirculated air control
can be enabled. However, to reduce the risk of fogging, the recirculated
air button will be disabled in approximately 4 minutes.
In automatic operation, the recirculated air operates automatically as
necessary to achieve the selected temperature. If desired, recirculated
air can be controlled manually through the use of the recirculated air
control. When recirculated air is controlled while in automatic operation,
the AUTO indicator will remain lit and the system will remain in
automatic operation. To return to automatic recirculated air, press
AUTO.
Under cold or dampconditions, do not leave the climate control system
in recirculated air for extended periods of time as this may cause interior
fogging of the windows.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow you to determine where airflow is
directed. To return to full automatic control, press AUTO.

AIRFLOW CONTROL
Controls whether airflow will or will
not be distributed through the floor
console.
To select airflow from the registers
of the floor console, slide the airflow
control to the top.
To select no airflow from the
registers of the floor console, slide
the airflow control to the bottom.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
Used to manually enable or disable
rear window defrost in all modes.
After approximately 10 minutes of
rear defrost operation, the climate
control system will automatically disable the rear defrost operation. If
desired, the rear defrost can be manually disabled through the use of the
rear defrost button. When operating, the rear defrost indicator will be lit.R

Autolamp exit time delay, manual sequence
This option allows you to change the length of the autolamp exit delay.
To program the auto lamp exit time delay:
1. Start with the ignition in OFF and the autolamps selected.
2. Deselect the auto lamps.
3. Put the ignition on RUN.
4. Put the ignition in OFF.
5. Select the autolamps.
•NOTE:Steps 2 through 5 must be performed within a 10 second
period.
•At this point, the headlamps and park lamps will turn on.
6. Deselect the auto lamps after the desired auto lamp delay time
(maximum of 3 minutes).
•At this point, the headlamps and park lamps will turn off.
The default for autolampexit delay time is 20 seconds. Following a
vehicle battery disconnect/reconnect auto lampdelay exit time will be
retained.
Autolamp exit time delay, message center sequence
This option allows you to change the length of time of the autolamp exit
delay using the message center. You will have the ability to change the
autolampexit delay time of the autolampON time when the instrument
cluster (IC) message center is enabled (ignition in run or accessory
position).
There are 8 distinct and separate set points or values for auto lamp delay
exit time in seconds. The following are predefined set points or auto
lampexit delay time values: 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, seconds (i.e.
0 to 3 minutes).
The following steps are used to program the autolamp exit time delay
using the message center:
1. The message center will display the last autolamp exit delay time in
seconds.
2. You can respond to this message by 1 of 4 methods:
•No Response- The message center then times out after 4 seconds
and displays it’s normal text information.
•Press the info button- The message center then displays its normal
text information.

•Press the setup button- The message center then displays the next
menu selection in its list. (6)
•Press the reset button- The message center then proceeds to the
next sequence/step(3) below.
•The message center sends/issues the “AutolampDelay Command” to
the body security module (BSM).
•The body security module responds within 100 milliseconds with next
auto lampexit delay time.
3. Next sequence/stepnumber is one (1) steps 1,2,3,4 & 5 are repeated
until exit via step2.
4. The message center displays the next menu selection.
Daytime running lamps (DRL) (if equipped)
Turns the headlamps on with a reduced output. To activate:
•the ignition must be in the ON position and
•the headlamp control is in the OFF or Parking lamps position
•the parking brake must be disengaged.
Always remember to turn on your headlamps at dusk or during
inclement weather. The Daytime Running Light (DRL) System
does not activate your tail lamps and generally may not provide
adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
High beams
Push the lever toward the
instrument panel to activate. Pull
the lever towards you to deactivate.

HOMELINKUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver, located on the overhead console,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver to a
garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stopand reverse, does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink
at:www.homelink.comor1–800–355–3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomelinkUniversal Transceiver buttons be erased for
security purposes, refer toProgrammingin this section.
Programming
Do not program the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver with the
vehicle parked in the garage.
Note:Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or “ACC”) position for programming and/or operation of the
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the

hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkfor
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red
light begins to flash after 20
seconds.Do notrepeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLinkbuttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink.
2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 2–8 cm (1–3 inches) away from the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver surface (located on your overhead console) while
keeping the red light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLinkand hand-held
transmitter button.Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step3 with procedures noted in the
“Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” section for Canadian
residents.
4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons
when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates
acceptance of the hand-held transmitters’ radio frequency signals.)
5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkbutton and observe the red
light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLinkbutton is pressed and
released.Note:To program the remaining two HomeLinkbuttons,
begin with step2 in the “Programming” section —do notrepeat step 1.
If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a
continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete
programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).
