CAUTION: (Continued)
Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A
child can be overcome by extreme
heat and can suffer permanent injuries
or even death from heat stroke.
Always lock your vehicle whenever
you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle. Locking your
doors can help prevent this from
happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your
vehicle.
Because your vehicle has the theft-deterrent
system, you must unlock the doors with the key or
remote keyless entry transmitter to avoid setting
off the alarm.
From the outside, use either the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter.From the inside, use the power door lock switches
or manual lock knobs. The manual lock knobs
are located at the top of the door panel near the
window.
Push the manual lock knob down to lock the door.
To unlock the door, pull up on the knob.
Central Door Unlocking System
Your vehicle has a central door unlocking mode.
When unlocking the driver’s door, you can unlock
the other doors at the same time by turning the key
clockwise in the door lock cylinder twice.
Power Door Locks
The power door lock switches are located on the
armrest on the front doors.
K(Unlock):Press the side of the switch with the
unlock symbol to unlock the doors.
Q(Lock):Press the side of the switch with the
lock symbol to lock the doors.

Entry Lighting
This feature turns on the courtesy lamps and the
backlighting to the door switches and to the exterior
lamp control when a door is opened or if you press
the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button.
If activated due to the transmitter, the lighting will
remain active for about 40 seconds. Since the entry
lighting system uses the light sensor, it must be
dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps to turn
on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately
25 seconds after the last door is closed. They will
dim to off if the ignition key is turned to RUN, or
immediately deactivate if the power locks are
activated.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits dimming of the digital
displays and backlighting during daylight hours
when the key is in the ignition and the headlamps
are on. This feature is fully automatic. When
the light sensor reads darkness outside and the
parking lamps are active, the digital displays
can be adjusted by turning the instrument panel
brightness knob counterclockwise to dim and
clockwise to brighten lighting.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located on the overhead
console on the headliner and in the rear door
opening. These lamps come on automatically
when any door is opened and it is dark outside.
For manual operation, press the button to
turn them on. Press it again to turn them off.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically
shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been
turned off.
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 a higher
revolutions per minute (rpm) setting 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, the climate control fan at high
speeds, heated seats and engine cooling fans.

After the vehicle is started, the display will
show the interior temperature settings and the
outside temperature.
If the AUTO position is selected on the fan or mode
control, the system will automatically control the air
conditioning compressor. The A/C compressor will
run automatically even at cool outside temperatures
in order to dehumidify the air. The A/C indicator
light will be lit when the system is operating
automatically, even at near freezing outside
temperatures. Press the A/C button on the fan
control to turn off the A/C. For improved window
clearing performance in defog or defrost modes,
the A/C compressor will run automatically.
h(AUTO RECIRCULATION):If the AUTO
position is selected on either the fan or mode
control, the system will automatically control the air
inlet to supply fresh outside air or recirculate the
interior air to cool the car faster. The indicator light
on the recirculation button will light whenever the
system switches to recirculation. You may force
outside air by pressing the recirculation button
when the light is lit. For vehicles without rear climate
controls, press the outside air button to force
outside air. The next time AUTO fan or mode is
selected, the air inlet will reset back to AUTO
operation.
Manual Operation
9(Fan):Turn the left control either to the left or
right to adjust the fan speed. Turning this control
completely counterclockwise will turn on the
automatic fan operation. Turning this control to the
“O” position will turn the climate control system off.
If the air ow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment air
lter may need to be replaced. SeePassenger
Compartment Air Filter on page 220.
9(Off):Turn the left control to this position to
turn the entire climate control system off.
To change the current mode, select one of the
following positions using the right control:
AUTO:Turn the control to this position to turn on
the automatic delivery mode operation.
F(Vent):Turn the control to this mode to direct
air to the instrument panel outlets.
*(Bi-Level):Turn the control to this mode to
direct approximately half of the air to the instrument
panel outlets and most of the remaining air to the
oor outlets. In automatic operation, cooler air is
directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the
oor outlets.
