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
first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel monitors
the exterior light level for the operation of DRL and
Twilight Sentinel@,
so be sure it isn’t covered. The DRL
system will make your high-beam headlamps come
on at a reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is on,
the exterior lamp control is off, and
the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When the DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps
will be
on at reduced intensity. The taillamps,
sidemarker and other lamps won’t be on. Your
instrument panel won’t be lit either. When it’s
dark enough outside, your regular intensity
headlamps will come on
at full brightness and the DRL
lighting will turn
off. The parking lamps that normally
come on with your headlamps will also come on. When
it’s bright enough outside, the regular intensity
headlamps and parking lamps will turn back
off, and the
reduced brightness
DRL lighting will turn back on.
To idle your vehicle during the day with the DRL
off,
shift the transaxle into PARK (P). The DRL will stay off
until you shift out of P.4RK (P).
At night, you can turn off all exterior lamps when you
are in PARK
(P) by turning the Twilight Sentinel@ knob
all the way to
OFF.
If the knob was already in OFF, it must be cycled to ON
and back to OFF. Turn the knob clockwise to turn the
exterior lighting back on. The lamps will come back
on automatically when you put the transaxle in gear.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.

Notice: Although the HUD image appears to be
near the front of the vehicle, do not use it as
a parking aid. The
HUD was not designed for that
purpose.
If you try to use it as such, you may
misjudge the distance and damage your vehicle.
The HUD controls are located to the left of the steering
column.
1. Start your engine and turn the HUD INTENSITY
knob all
of the way clockwise to MAX (Maximum).
The brightness of the HUD image is determined
by ambient light, and where you have set the HUD
INTENSITY knob.
2. Adjust the seat, if necessary, before setting the
height using the IMAGE switch.
Press and hold the top of the IMAGE switch,
raising the HUD image as far as possible. Then
press on the bottom of the HUD IMAGE switch to
move the image down,
so the image is as low
as possible, but in full view.
3. Turn the INTENSITY knob counterclockwise until
the HUD image is no brighter than necessary. To
turn the HUD
off, turn the HUD INTENSITY knob all
the way counterclockwise.
If the sun comes out, or it becomes cloudy, or if you
turn on your headlamps, you may need to adjust
the HUD brightness using the HUD INTENSITY knob.
Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image harder
to see.
Clean the inside of the windshield as needed to remove
any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness
or clarity
of the HUD image.
Spray household glass cleaner on a
soft, clean cloth.
Wipe the HUD lens gently, then dry it.
Do not spray
cleaner directly on the lens, because the cleaner fluid
could leak inside the unit.

Audio System(s)
Notice: Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle
- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
- be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it’s very important to
do
it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s engine,
Delphi Electronics radio or other systems, and
even damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that
has been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed
