Fog Lamps
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 in 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.

controls the brightness of the instrument panel
lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located next to

dim the instrument panel lights and the radio
display. The instrument panel lights, cluster, and
radio display do not dim to complete darkness.
Turn the thumbwheel all the way up to turn
the dome lamps on.
Dome Lamp
The dome and footwell lamps will come on when
you open a door. The dome lamps are located
in the cargo and front area of the vehicle.
You can also turn the dome and footwell lamps
on by turning the thumbwheel, located next to
the exterior lamps control, all the way up. In this
position, the lamps will remain on whether a
door is opened or closed.

Audio System(s)
Determine which radio your vehicle has and then
read the pages following to familiarize yourself
with its features.
Driving without distraction is a necessity for a
safer driving experience. SeeDefensive Driving on
page 234. By taking a few moments to read this
manual and get familiar with your vehicle’s
audio system, you can use it with less effort, as
well as take advantage of its features. While your
vehicle is parked, set up your audio system by
presetting your favorite radio stations, setting the
tone and adjusting the speakers. Then, when
driving conditions permit, you can tune to
your favorite stations using the presets and
steering wheel controls if the vehicle has them.{CAUTION:
This system provides you with a far greater
access to audio stations and song listings.
Giving extended attention to entertainment
tasks while driving can cause a crash and
you or others can be injured or killed.
Always keep your eyes on the road and
your mind on the drive — avoid engaging
in extended searching while driving.
Keeping your mind on the drive is important for
safe driving. For more information, seeDefensive
Driving on page 234.

Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem, be sure to get it xed.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and
other power accessories. When the current load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is xed
or goes away.
Power and Heated Seat Circuit
Breakers
There is a circuit breaker located underneath the
driver’s side front seat that controls the power
and heated seat functions.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses
and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of res caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and do
not have a spare fuse, you can borrow one
that has the same amperage. Just pick some
feature of your vehicle that you can get along
without — like the radio or cigarette lighter — and
use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
