Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the headlamps will
come on automatically.
Your vehicle has a light
sensor located on top of
the instrument panel.
Make sure it is not
covered, or the headlamps
will be on when you
don’t need them.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage or tunnel.
Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has this feature, use your fog lamps for
better visibility in foggy or misty conditions.
The button for your fog
lamps is located on the
instrument panel above
the radio.
Push the button to turn the fog lamps on or off.
When using fog lamps, the parking lamps or low-beam
headlamps must be on.
A light on the button will come on when the fog lamps
are on. Fog lamps will go off whenever the high-beam
headlamps are turned on. When the high-beam
headlamps are turned off, the fog lamps will come
on again.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps
to be on along with the fog lamps.

@(Recirculate):Press this button to toggle between
recirculate and outside air modes. The indicator light
turns on when recirculate mode is selected. This mode
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. Avoid using the
recirculate mode on during high periods of humidity or
cool outside temperatures since this may result in
increased window fogging. If window fogging is
experienced, select the defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available in oor, defog, or
defrost modes and will shut off automatically and change
to outside air until a mode other than oor, defog, or
defrost is selected. This helps prevent window fogging
and moisture building up within the cabin.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn the
air conditioning system on or off. When this button
is pressed, an indicator light above the button will come
on to let you know the air conditioning is activated.
Air conditioning can be selected in any mode as long
as the fan is on in any speed position.
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.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.
Operation Tips

On hot days, activate the air conditioning system,
select maximum fan speed and the coldest
temperature setting. Open the windows long enough
to let the hot inside air escape, then close them.
This helps reduce the time it takes for your vehicle
to cool down. It also helps the system to operate
more efficiently. Adjust fan speed and temperature
setting as required to achieve comfort.
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.
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) on the window glass. This
can be minimized if the climate control system is
used properly. 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 quickly. For best results,
clear all snow and ice from the windshield before
defrosting.

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.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs air to the windshield,
side window outlets and oor outlets. When you select
this mode, the system will turn recirculation mode
off and run the air conditioning compressor unless the
outside air is at or below freezing. Recirculation
mode cannot be selected while in defog mode. This
helps prevent window fogging and moisture building
up within the cabin. To defog the windows faster, turn
the temperature knob clockwise to the warmest setting.
0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air to
the windshield, with some air directed to the side
window outlets and the oor outlets. When you select
this mode, the system will turn recirculation mode off
automatically and will run the air conditioning compressor
unless the outside air is at or below freezing.Recirculation mode cannot be selected while in defrost
mode. This helps prevent window fogging and moisture
building up within the cabin. To defrost the windows
faster, turn the temperature knob clockwise to the
warmest setting.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press the button to turn
the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light
above the button will come on to let you know that the
rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will stay on for approximately
15 minutes after the button is pressed, unless the ignition
is turned to ACC or LOCK. If turned on again, the
defogger will only run for approximately seven minutes
before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by
pressing the button again or by turning off the engine.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Do not attach
a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or
anything similar to the defogger grid.

Appearance Care
Cleaning the Inside of Your Vehicle
Your vehicle’s interior will continue to look its best if it is
cleaned often. Although not always visible, dust and dirt
can accumulate on your upholstery. Dirt can damage
carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic surfaces. Regular
vacuuming is recommended to remove particles from
your upholstery. It is important to keep your upholstery
from becoming and remaining heavily soiled. Soils
should be removed as quickly as possible. Your vehicle’s
interior may experience extremes of heat that could
cause stains to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require more frequent
cleaning. Use care because newspapers and garments
that transfer color to your home furnishings may also
transfer color to your vehicle’s interior.
When cleaning your vehicle’s interior, only use cleaners
specically designed for the surfaces being cleaned.
Permanent damage may result from using cleaners
on surfaces for which they were not intended. Use glass
cleaner only on glass. Remove any accidental over-spray
from other surfaces immediately. To prevent over-spray,
apply cleaner directly to the cleaning cloth.Notice:If you use abrasive cleaners when cleaning
glass surfaces on your vehicle, you could scratch
the glass and/or cause damage to the rear window
defogger. When cleaning the glass on your
vehicle, use only a soft cloth and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that may become
concentrated in your vehicle’s breathing space. Before
using cleaners, read and adhere to all safety instructions
on the label. While cleaning your vehicle’s interior,
maintain adequate ventilation by opening your vehicle’s
doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small buttons and knobs
using a small brush with soft bristles.
Your retailer has a product for cleaning your vehicle’s
glass. Should it become necessary, you can also obtain
a product from your retailer to remove odors from your
vehicle’s upholstery.
