Adjustable Throttle and Brake Pedal
If your vehicle has this feature, you can change
the position of the throttle and brake pedals.
This feature is designed for shorter drivers, since
the pedals cannot move farther away from the
standard position, but can move toward the driver
for better pedal reach.
The switch used to
adjust the pedals
is located on the
instrument panel
below the climate
control system.
Press the arrow at the bottom of the switch
to move the pedals closer to your body.
Press the arrow at the top of the switch to
move the pedals away from your body.No adjustment to the pedals can be made when
the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) or while using
the cruise control.
Your vehicle has a memory function which allows
pedal settings to be saved and recalled. See
Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 13for
more information.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged
in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your
vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of
the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle
may also have an internal thermostat in the
plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of
the engine coolant heater when the temperature
is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid
to remove fog from the rear window.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
to turn on the rear window defogger. It will
automatically turn off several minutes after it
has been activated. The defogger can also be
turned off by pressing the button again or by
turning off the engine. Do not drive the vehicle
until all the windows are clear.
If your vehicle has heated outside rearview
mirrors, the mirrors will heat to help clear fog
or frost from the surface of the mirror when
the rear window defog button is pressed.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear window. Do not
adhere anything to the defogger grid lines
in the rear glass. These actions may damage
the rear defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Your vehicle has air outlets located in the center
and on the side of your instrument panel that
allow you to adjust the direction and amount of
airow inside the vehicle. Move the louvers up or
down. Use the thumbwheel next to or underneath
the outlet to close the louvers. For the most
efficient airow and temperature control, keep
the outlet in the fully opened position.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as
leaves. The heater and defroster will work far
better, reducing the chance of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
of objects. This helps air to circulate
throughout your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, etc.,
may affect the performance of the heating
and air conditioning system. Check with
your dealer before adding equipment to the
outside of your vehicle.

O(Power/Volume):Turn this knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease
the volume of the portable player. Additional
volume adjustments might be needed from the
portable device if the volume does not go loud
or soft enough.
BAND:Press this button to listen to the radio
when a portable audio device is playing.
The portable audio device continues playing,
so you might want to stop it or turn it off.
CD/AUX (CD/Auxiliary):Press this button to
play a CD when a portable audio device is
playing. Press this button again and the system
begins playing audio from the connected portable
audio player. If a portable audio player is not
connected, No Input Device Found displays.Radio with CD and DVD (MP3)
If your vehicle has a Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)
system, it has a CD/DVD radio. SeeRear Seat
Entertainment System on page 334for more
information on the vehicle’s RSE system.

What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
what kind of lubricant to use. SeeRecommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 574.
Headlamp Aiming
The vehicle has a visual optical headlamp aiming
system. The aim of the headlamps have been
preset at the factory and should need no further
adjustment.
However, if the vehicle is damaged in an accident,
the aim of the headlamps may be affected and
adjustment may be necessary.
If oncoming vehicles ash their high beams at
you, this may mean the vertical aim of your
headlamps needs to be adjusted.
It is recommended that the vehicle is taken to
your dealer/retailer/retailer for service if the
headlamps need to be adjusted. It is possible
however, to re-aim the headlamps as described
in the following procedure.The vehicle should be properly prepared as
follows:
The vehicle should be placed so the headlamps
are 25 ft. (7.6 m) from a light colored wall.
The vehicle must have all four tires on a level
surface which is level all the way to the wall.
The vehicle should be placed so it is
perpendicular to the wall.
The vehicle should not have any snow, ice,
or mud on it.
The vehicle should be fully assembled and all
other work stopped while headlamp aiming is
being performed.
The vehicle should be normally loaded
with a full tank of fuel and one person or
160 lbs (75 kg) sitting on the driver’s seat.
Tires should be properly inated.
The spare tire is in its proper location in the
vehicle.
Headlamp aiming is done with the vehicle’s
low-beam headlamps. The high-beam headlamps
will be correctly aimed if the low-beam headlamps
are aimed properly.
