button again to turn them off. A light will glow in
the button when the fog lamps are on.

headlamps come on. When the high-beams go off, the
fog lamps will come on again.

Instrumental Panel Brightness
The thumbwheel for this feature is located on the
driver’s side of the instrument panel next to the exterior
lamps control.

lights brighter. Turn the thumbwheel all the way up to
turn on the interior lamps. To dim the instrument
panel lights, turn the thumbwheel down.

short period of time and will turn off automatically. If
you use your keyless entry transmitter, if equipped, to
unlock your vehicle, the interior lamps will come on for a
short time whether or not the DOME OVERRIDE
button is in the out position.

MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning):This mode
recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle so
it cools quickly. It directs most of the air through the
instrument panel vents and a small amount through the
oor vents.
You may notice a slight change in engine performance
when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and
turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed
to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while
still maintaining the selected temperature.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select A/C.
2. Select the coolest temperature.
3. Select the highest fan speed.
On cool, but sunny days, the sun may warm the upper
part of your body, but the lower part may not be
warm enough. To remedy this, do the following:
1. Select the bi-level mode.
2. Select the temperature.
3. Select the fan speed.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of 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 clear fog or frost
from your windshield and side windows. 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.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
-(Defog):Use this mode to direct half the air to the
windshield and half to the oor outlet. Close the
center outlets to help defrost the side windows more
quickly. In this mode, the system will automatically force
outside air into your vehicle and it will also run the
air-conditioning compressor, unless it falls below the
temperature at which air conditioning is effective.
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. When you select this
mode, the system runs the air-conditioning compressor
unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
3-19
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
will come on to let your know that the rear window
defogger is activated.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors,
when the rear defogger button is pressed the mirrors will
warm to help clear any fog or frost from the surface of
the mirrors.
Notice:Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear
the inside rear window may damage the rear
window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not clear the inside of the rear
window with sharp objects.
Outlet Adjustment
The ow through outlets on your vehicle allow outside
air to enter your vehicle while it is moving. Outside
air will also enter your vehicle while the air-conditioning
compressor is running.
Use the thumbwheels located in the center and on the
sides, to change the direction of the air owing
through the outlets.
