Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
53(Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer):
To change the headlamps from low to high beam,
push the lever toward the instrument panel.
To return to low-beam headlamps, pull the
multifunction lever toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this indicator light
on the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use the high-beam
headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that
you want to pass. It works even if the headlamps
are in the automatic position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you,
then release it.If your headlamps are in the automatic position
or on low beam, your high-beam headlamps will
turn on. They will stay on as long as you hold the
lever toward you. The high-beam indicator on the
instrument panel cluster will come on. Release
the lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the
band with the wiper symbol on it.
8(Mist):Turn the band to mist for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers
start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after
one wipe. Hold the band on mist longer, if more
wipes are needed.
N(Delay):The wiper speed can be set for
long or short delays between wipes. This can be
very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band
to choose the delay time. The closer to the top
of the lever, the shorter the delay.
157

The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.
The transmission is not in PARK (P) if
you have an automatic transmission.
The light sensor determines it is daytime.
When the DRL are on, no other lamps are on.
The instrument panel will not be lit up either.
For vehicles rst sold in Canada, if parking
lamps are manually turned on, DRL will stay on.
When it begins to get dark, the automatic
headlamp system will switch from DRL to the
headlamps.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.
To turn off the DRL, seeExterior Lamps
on page 162.
Vehicles rst sold in Canada cannot turn
off DRL unless certain conditions are met.
SeeExterior Lamps on page 162.
Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the automatic
headlamp system will turn on after the transmission
has been shifted from PARK (P) to DRIVE (D).
The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, parking
lamps, roof marker lamps, and the instrument panel
lights will turn on at normal brightness. The radio
lights will become more dim when the headlights
are off compared to when the headlights are on.
Your vehicle has a light sensor located on the top of
the instrument panel. Be sure it is not covered, or
the system will be on whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the
daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp
system so that driving under bridges or bright
overhead street lights does not affect the system.
The DRL and automatic headlamp system will only
be affected when the light sensor detects a change
in lighting lasting longer than the delay.

#(Air Conditioning):Press the left knob on the
control panel to turn the air conditioning system
on or off. An indicator light on the button will be
lit when the air conditioning is turned on. This
system cools and dehumidi es the air entering
the vehicle.
The air conditioning will not function if the fan
is turned off. If air conditioning is selected with
fan off, the indicator will ash three times and
then turn off.
A slight change in engine performance may occur
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 sometimes there may be a small amount
of water dripping underneath the vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.9(Fan):Turn the center knob on the control
panel to control the fan speed. Turn the knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the fan speed.
9(Off):Turn the center knob to this position
to turn the fan off. With the fan off, you may
still experience air ow from the system that
increases with vehicle speed depending on the
mode and temperature settings. Enable
recirculation mode to stop this air ow from
occurring.
The right knob on the control panel is used to
direct the air ow inside the vehicle. Turn the knob
to select one of the following modes:
@(Recirculation):Press the center knob on
the control panel to recirculate air inside the
vehicle and prevent outside air from coming in.
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.
