your electrical accessories such as power windows,
sunroof (option), audio system and windshield wipers.
ON: This is the position the switch returns to after
you start your engine and release the switch. Even when

will still have power to such accessories as the
radio, sunroof (option) and power windows for up to
10 minutes. Power is turned off if you open a door.
Always leave your key in

discharge prematurely.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position - that’s a
safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL

Notice: Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your
vehicle
is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transaxle. Shift
to PARK (P) only when your
vehicle
is stopped.
1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will go down as
your engine gets warm.

If the Twilight Sentinel@ lighting is active, it can be
disabled by turning on the manual parking lamps. This
lighting will be disabled until the key is turned from
ON or until the manual parking lamps are turned off.
Also, it’s possible that your headlamps may go out if you
drive from a dark area into a bright area like a lighted
parking lot.
If this happens, turn on your headlamps with
the exterior lamp control.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the exterior lamp control has been left on, the exterior
lamps will turn
off approximately 10 minutes after the
ignition is turned to
OFF and a door has been opened.
This protects against draining the battery in case
you have accidentally left the headlamps or parking
lamps on.
If you need to leave the lamps on for more
than
10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn the
lamps back on after turning the ignition to
OFF and
opening a door. To delay the lamps from turning
off, see
“Twilight Sentinel@,” listed previously.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Brightness
When it is dark outside, you can brighten or dim your
instrument panel cluster lights using the DIM knob,
located to the left of the steering wheel on the instrument
panel.
Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the instrument
panel cluster lights and displays. Turn the knob
clockwise all the way to turn on the interior courtesy
lamps. Turn the knob counterclockwise to dim the
instrument panel cluster lights and displays and to turn
off the courtesy lamps.
Courtesy Lamps
If it is dark enough outside, when any door is opened,
several lamps will come on. They make
it easier for you
to enter and leave the vehicle. Turn the dimmer knob
all the way clockwise to turn the interior courtesy
lamps on.
3-1 6

Entry Lighting
If it is dark enough outside and you press the button
with the unlock symbol on the remote keyless entry
transmitter
(if equipped), the interior courtesy lamps will
come on and stay on for approximately
25 seconds,
The lamps will turn
off immediately by pressing
the button with the lock symbol on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, by turning the ignition key to
ON or by
activating the power door locks.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lamps will turn
off after
10 minutes to save your battery.
Delayed Entry Lighting
When you open the door to enter your vehicle, the
interior lamps will come on
if it is dark enough outside.
When you close the door with the ignition
off, the
interior lamps will stay on for
25 seconds or until the
ignition is turned on. Locking the doors with the power
door lock switch, or with the lock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter (if equipped), will
override the delayed entry lighting and the lamps will
turn
off immediately.
Theater Dimming
This feature allows for a three to five-second fade out oi
the courtesy lamps instead of immediate turn off after
you remove the key from the ignition.
Delayed Exit Lighting
This feature will turn on the interior lamps for 25 seconds
after you remove the key from the ignition while the
doors are closed and it is night. This
will give you time
to find the door handle or lock switches as you exit
the vehicle.
This lighting will only be deactivated
if the key is
reinserted into the ignition switch or the power door
locks are activated.
Parade Dimming
To activate the instrument panel backlighting during the
day, turn the exterior lamp switch to the parking
lamp or headlamp position. Dimming
oi the instrument
panel display is not possible during daylight hours.
The instrument panel display can only be adjusted when
the parking lamps or headlamps are on and it is dark
outside.
Perimeter Lighting
When the button with the unlock symbol on the remote
keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped) is pressed,
the DRL headlamps, parking lamps and back-up lamps
will turn on
if it is dark enough outside.
3-1 7

Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp or cigarette lighters. When the ignition is
turned
off, the power to these features will automatically
turn
off after 10 minutes. Power will be restored for
an additional
10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk
is opened or the courtesy lamps are turned on. To
restore power back to the cigarette lighters the ignition
must be turned back to
ON.
Battery Load Management
The battery load management feature is designed to
monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when
the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During
times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at
higher revolutions per minute (rpm) than normal to
make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads
may occur when several
of the following are on:
headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window
defogger, fan on high speed, heated seats and engine
cooling fans.
If your vehicle’s battery remains in a heavy discharge
condition for a long period of time, the fan, rear
defogger, heated seats and heated mirrors will be
disabled and the DIC will display BATTERY SAVER
ACTIVE. This can happen either under long periods of
idling or low speed driving with high electrical loading,
or in the event of a charging system fault.
Monitor the battery voltage when in the BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE mode.
If the voltmeter remains in the shaded area (below
11 volts) when driving then have the charging
system serviced immediately.
If the voltage increases above 12 volts then the
battery needs to be recharged.
Try driving on
the highway with as few electrical accessories on
as possible.
