Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to
high, push the turn signal lever all the way forward.
To change from high to low beam, pull the lever
rearward.
While the high beams
are on, this light on
the instrument panel
cluster will also be lit.
Flash-to-Pass
To use the ash-to-pass feature, briey pull the
turn signal lever toward you. The high-beam
indicator ashes to indicate to the other driver that
you intend to pass. If the low-beam headlamps
are off and the fog lamps are on, the fog
lamps ash.
Windshield Wipers
Use the lever located on the right side of the
steering column to operate the windshield wipers.
1(High Speed):Move the lever to this
position for steady wiping at high speed.
6(Low Speed):Move the lever to this
position for steady wiping at low speed.
&(Delay):Move the lever to this position to
set a delay between wipes.

When it is dark enough outside, the front turn
signal lamps will turn off and normal low-beam
headlamps will turn on.
When it is bright enough outside, the regular
lamps will go off, and the front turn signal lamps
will take over. If you start your vehicle in a
dark garage, the automatic headlamp system
will come on immediately. Once you leave
the garage, it will take approximately one minute
for the automatic headlamp system to change
to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure your instrument panel
brightness knob is in the full bright position.
SeeInstrument Panel Brightness on page 172for
more information.
If it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamp
control is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will display on the Driver’s Information
Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that
turning on the exterior lamps is recommended.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 214.Turning the exterior lamp control to off a
second time, or turning on the headlamps will
remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
in the DIC. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps
were turned on instead, the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message will continue to be
displayed.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.
To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp control
to the off position or shift into PARK (P). The
DRL will stay off until the control is toggled again
or the vehicle is shifted out of PARK (P).
This procedure applies only to vehicles rst sold
in the United States.

Fog Lamps
Use fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
The fog lamps control is located on the
multifunction lever next to the exterior lamp
control.
-(Fog Lamps):Turning the band to this
position will turn the fog lamps on.
When you turn the fog lamps on, the fog lamp
light will appear on the instrument panel cluster
to indicate that the fog lamps and the parking
lamps are on.
If you turn the high-beam headlamps on, the
fog lamps will turn off. They will turn on again
when you switch to low-beam headlamps.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to
operate.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Twilight Sentinel®
Twilight Sentinel®can turn your lamps on and off
for you. A light sensor on top of the instrument
panel makes the Twilight Sentinel
®work, so
be sure it is not covered.
With Twilight Sentinel
®, you will see the following
happen:
When it is dark enough outside, the front
turn signal lamps (DRL) will go off, and
the headlamps and parking lamps will come
on. The other lamps that come on with
headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside, the
headlamps will go off, and the front turn signal
lamps (DRL) will come on, as long as the
exterior lamp switch is in the AUTO position.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take about one minute for the automatic headlamp
system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During
that delay, your instrument panel cluster may not
be as bright as usual. Make sure your instrument
panel brightness control is in full bright position.
SeeInstrument Panel Brightness on page 172.

Pressing the arrows will delete AUTO from the
digital display. The fan graphics with the fan speed
bars will be shown. To increase the fan speed
so that more air ows into the vehicle, press the
up arrow on the fan switch. To decrease the
fan speed and airow, press the down arrow.
The AUTO button must be pressed to return to the
automatic fan control.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment
air lter may need to be replaced. For more
information, seePassenger Compartment Air Filter
on page 186andScheduled Maintenance on
page 433.
?(Recirculation):Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on or off. When the climate
control system is in recirculation mode an indicator
light will come on. This mode prevents outside
air from entering your vehicle. It can be used
to prevent outside air and odors from entering
your vehicle and to help cool the air inside your
vehicle more quickly. Recirculation mode is
not available in defrost or defog mode.
^(Air Conditioning Off):Press this button
to turn the air conditioning compressor off.
Press AUTO to return to automatic operation.
When in AUTO, the air conditioning compressor
will come on automatically, as needed.
Air conditioning does not operate at temperatures
below about 35°F to 40°F (2°C to 4°C).
In temperatures above 40°F (4°C), the air
conditioning cannot be turned off in defrost and
defog, as it helps to remove moisture from the
vehicle. It also helps to keep the windows clear.
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.
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.
182

These delays prevent false readings. If the
temperature goes down, the outside temperature
will be shown when you start the vehicle. If it
has been turned off for less than three hours, the
temperature will be recalled from the previous
vehicle operation.
There is also an inside temperature sensor
located to the left of the ignition switch. The
automatic climate control system uses this sensor
to receive information, so if you block or cover
it, the system will not function properly.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity and 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.
Use the oor/defog mode to clear the windows of
fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use
defrost to remove fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. To prevent fogging on the inside of
the windows in modes other than oor/defog and
defrost, make sure the air conditioning compressor
is on and recirculation mode is off.
Press the mode button until the defog mode
appears on the display.
-(Floor/Defog):This mode directs the air
equally between the windshield and the oor
outlets with a small amount to the side window
outlets. When you select this mode, the system
turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
at or below freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the defog mode.
1(Defrost):Pressing this button directs most
of the air to the windshield, with a small amount
directed to the side window outlets. The light on the
button will come on and the digital display will show
the defrost mode symbol and fan speed when the
front defrost mode is being used. In this mode, the
system will automatically turn off the recirculation
and run the air-conditioning compressor, unless
the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
Recirculation cannot be selected while in the
defrost mode. Pressing this button again will return
the system to the last operating mode.
For severe ice conditions, turn the driver’s
temperature knob to 90°F (32°C) while in
defrost mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
engine is running.
=(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
to turn the rear window defogger on. Be sure
to clear as much snow from the rear window as
possible. An indicator light in the button will come
on to let you know that the rear window defogger
is activated.
The rear window defogger will turn off about
10 minutes after the button is pressed when
traveling less than 30 mph (48 km/h). If turned
on again, the defogger will only run for about
ve minutes before turning off. The defogger can
also be turned off by pressing the button again
or by turning off the engine.Your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors.
The mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirrors when the
rear window defog button is pressed.
If your vehicle has the power convertible top, the
rear window defogger and heated mirrors are
automatically disabled when the power convertible
top is moving or down.
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.
