Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, you can use them
for better vision in foggy or misty conditions.
Your parking lamps and/or low-beam headlamps
must be on for your fog lamps to work.
The fog lamp button is
located near the exterior
lamps control.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on while
the headlamps or parking lamps are on. Press the
button again to turn them off. An indicator light
will glow in the button when the fog lamps are on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as
much light as your headlamps. Never use your fog
lamps in the dark without turning on the headlamps.
The fog lamps will go off whenever your
high-beam headlamps come on. When the high
beams go off, the fog lamps will come on again.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Exterior Cargo Lamps
The cargo lamps can be used if more light is
needed in the cargo area of the vehicle or in the
top-box storage units.
Press this button,
located on the driver
side of the instrument
panel near the exterior
lamp control, to turn the
cargo lamps on and off.
The dome lamps must be on for the cargo lamps
to come on. SeeDome Lamp on page 170.
169
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on
when you remove the key from the ignition.
The lamps will not come on if the dome override
button is pressed in.
Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management
(EPM) that estimates the battery’s temperature and
state of charge. It then adjusts the voltage for
best performance and extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the
voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge
back in. When the state of charge is high, the
voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging.
If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage, you may
see the voltage move up or down. This is normal.
If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed.The battery can be discharged at idle if the
electrical loads are very high. This is true for all
vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator)
may not be spinning fast enough at idle to
produce all the power that is needed for very high
electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of the
following loads are on: headlamps, high beams,
fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate
control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine
cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into
accessory power outlets.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamp if it is left on
for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is
in LOCK. This will help prevent your battery from
running down.

Fan Knob
9
(Fan):The center knob on the control panel
is used to control the fan speed. Turn the
knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the fan speed.
If the knob is set on “0” (zero), some outside air
will still enter the vehicle and will be directed
according to the position of the mode knob.
Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel is used to
direct the air ow inside your vehicle. Turn the knob
to select one of the following modes:
H(Vent):Select this mode to direct air to the
instrument panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level):Select this mode to direct
approximately half of the air to the instrument
panel outlets, and the remaining air to the
oor outlets and the defroster and side window
outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets
and warmer air to the oor outlets.
[(Floor):Select this mode to direct air to the
oor outlets. Recirculation is disabled in this mode
because interior window could fog under some
conditions. If this occurs, see “Defogging and
Defrosting” following.
Mode Buttons
@
(Recirculation):This mode recirculates air
inside the cabin, and prevents outside air from
coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside odors from entering your vehicle and
cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Press
this button to turn the recirculation mode on or
off. An indicator light on the button will come on to
let you know the recirculation mode is activated.
Recirculation is only available in the bi-level
and vent modes. It should only be used while in
bi-level and vent modes. Recirculation is not
available, and the light will not come on or ash
while in heat, oor, oor/defog, or defrost modes.
174
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. An indicator
light on the button will come on to let you know
the air conditioning is activated. When the system
is on, this setting cools and dehumidi es the
air entering your vehicle.
The air conditioning will not function if the fan is
turned off.
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.
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.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.
