Fog Lamps
-(Fog Lamps):If your vehicle has fog lamps,
the button is located on the instrument panel
to the left of the steering column and below the
dome lamp override button.
The ignition must be in RUN and the parking
lamps must be on for the fog lamps to work.
To turn the fog lamps on, press the fog lamps
button. A light comes on in the instrument
panel cluster to let you know that the fog lamps
are on. Press the button again to turn the fog
lamps off.
When the fog lamps are turned on, the low-beam
headlamps automatically turn on.
The fog lamps turn off while you change to
high-beam headlamps. When the high-beam
headlamps go off, the fog lamps will come
on again.
Fog lamps should only be used in foggy conditions
since they could be distracting to oncoming
drivers in clear weather conditions.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Auxiliary Roof Mounted Lamp
If your vehicle has this feature, this button includes
wiring provisions for a dealer or a quali ed
service center to install an auxiliary roof lamp.
This button is located
on the overhead
console.
When the wiring is connected to an auxiliary roof
mounted lamp, pressing the bottom of the
button will activate the lamp and illuminate an
indicator light at the bottom of this button. Pressing
the top of the button will turn off the roof mounted
lamp and indicator.
The emergency roof lamp circuit is fused at
30 amps, so the total current draw of the attached
lamps should be less than this value. The
attachment points for the roof lamp circuits are
two blunt cut wires located above the overhead
console, a dark green switched power wire and a
black ground wire.

Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter
The front ashtray is located near the center of the
instrument panel or on the front console, if
equipped. Pull on the ashtray door to open it.
Notice:If you put papers, pins, or other
ammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes
or other smoking materials could ignite
them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never
put ammable items in the ashtray.
To remove the front ashtray pull the ashtray up.
To use the cigarette lighter, push it in all the way,
and let go. When it’s ready, it will pop back out
by itself.
Notice:Holding a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating does not let the lighter back
away from the heating element when it is hot.
Damage from overheating can occur to the
lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be
blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it
is heating.

placed between the settings. A little air is directed
towards the windshield and side window outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and
warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and second
row oor outlets. In this mode, the system will
automatically select outside air. Recirculation
