2004 CHEVROLET EPICA sensor

At night, when the glare is too high, the mirror will
gradually darken to reduce glare. This change may
take a few seconds. The mirror will return to its clear
daytime state when the glare is reduced.
To activate the automatic dimming feature, press the
button (B) located below the rearview mirror. To turn
the feature off, press the button (B) again.
The ignition must be turned to ON to use the automatic
dimming rearview mirror. The indicator light (C) will
illuminate while this feature is active.
There are two light sensors (A) which detect ambient
light level and glare from vehicles behind you.
Do not cover the sensors as this will cancel the
automatic dimming operation.Outside Power Mirrors
The control for the
power mirrors is located
on the driver’s side
instrument panel,
below the side outlet.
Move the outside power mirror control to L for the left
mirror and to R for the right mirror. If you place the
control in the center position, no movement of the mirror
will occur. To adjust a mirror, press the corresponding
edges located on the four-way control pad to move
the mirror in the direction that you want it to go.
The ignition must be turned to ON to adjust the mirrors.
The outside rearview mirrors can be folded flat against
the side of the vehicle by pushing them toward the
vehicle.

To set the desired temperature, do the following:
Press the AUTO button.
Turn the temperature control knob until the desired
temperature is displayed. You can set the desired
temperature between 64°F (18°C) and 90°F (32°C).
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the desired
temperature by 1°F (0.5°C). Turn the knob
counterclockwise to decrease the desired temperature
by 1°F (0.5°C).
Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of
the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more
information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later
in this section.
Manual Operation
w9x
(Fan):Press the up arrow to increase the
fan speed and the down arrow to decrease the fan
speed. AUTO mode is cancelled when this button is
pressed.MODE:Press this button repeatedly to cycle through
and choose the mode of air delivery into the vehicle.
The system will stay in the selected mode until MODE is
pressed again or until the AUTO button is pressed.
Whenever MODE is pressed, the display will show
the current system settings for five seconds before
returning the display to the exterior temperature.
E(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument panel
outlets.
((Bi-level):This mode directs about half of the air to
the instrument panel outlets, and then directs the
remaining air to the floor outlets.
5(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
floor outlets. If your vehicle has rear outlets, some of the
air will also be directed to them. Be sure to keep the
area under the front seats clear to allow the flow of air to
the rear compartment.
The mode button can also be used to select the defog
mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can
be found later in this section.

?(Recirculation):Press this button to keep
outside air from coming in the vehicle. It can be used
to prevent outside air and odors from entering your
vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle
more quickly. Press this button to turn the recirculation
mode on or off.
Using the recirculation mode for extended periods may
cause your windows to fog. If this happens, select
the defrost mode.
A/C (Air Conditioning):Press this button to override
the automatic system and turn the air conditioning
system on or off. When A/C is pressed, the indicator
light on the display panel will come on to let you know
that it is activated.
Press this button again to turn the air conditioning
system off, or press the OFF button to turn the entire
system off.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, press the AUTO button
and the system will automatically enter recirculation
mode and the temperature will be at the full cold position
for maximum cooling.Using these settings together for long periods of time may
cause the air inside of your vehicle to become too dry.
To prevent this from happening, after the air in your
vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
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.
Outside Temperature:To display the outside
temperature, press the temperature control knob.
Pressing this knob again will cancel the outside
temperature display, otherwise the display will return
to the temperature inside of the vehicle after about
five seconds.
The outside temperature sensor is located near the
front bumper, so the displayed temperature may
be affected by road or engine heat while the vehicle
is idling or traveling at slow speeds. For this reason,
the displayed temperature will be most accurate
at speeds over 25 mph (40 km/h).

Sensors
The solar sensor (A) on your vehicle monitors solar
radiation and uses the information to maintain the
selected temperature by initiating needed adjustments
to the temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery
system. Do not cover the solar sensor located in
the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield,
or the system will not work properly.There is also a temperature sensor located beside the
audio system on the driver’s side of the vehicle. This
sensor reads the inside air temperature and helps to
establish ventilation system requirements while operating
in AUTO mode. Do not cover the temperature sensor or
the system will not work properly.

Safety Belt Reminder Light
The safety belt light will
come on and stay on until
the driver’s safety belt
is buckled.
If the driver’s belt is already buckled, the light will not
come on.
Safety Belt Reminder Tone
If your vehicle has this feature, a tone will sound for
several seconds when the ignition is turned to ON
to remind people to fasten their safety belts. The tone
will not sound if the driver’s safety belt is already
buckled.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks
the air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensor, the air bag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the air bag system,
seeAir Bag Systems on page 1-46.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will flash
for a few seconds.
Then the light should go
out. This means the
system is ready.
