Manual Windows
Use the window crank to open and close each
window.
Power Windows
If your vehicle has this
feature, the switches
controlling the driver’s
and passenger’s
windows are located on
the driver’s door.
The power window switch on each passenger
door controls that window only. These switches
work while the ignition is turned to ON.
Press the front of a switch to lower a window and
lift the front of the switch to raise a window.AUTO (Express-Down):Press this switch all the
way down and release it to lower the driver’s
window quickly.
o(Lock-Out):Press the window lock-out button,
located near the driver’s power door lock switches,
to disable the passenger’s power window switches.
Press the button again to enable the window
switches.
Only the driver’s window will operate with the
lock-out button pressed.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, swing down the sun visors.
You can also swing them to the side.
The visors can be slid along the rod for extended
coverage for the side windows unless your
vehicle has roof-mounted side impact airbags.

mirror. The vanity mirror may have a cover. Lift the
cover to expose the mirror.

Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
While sitting in a comfortable driving position,
adjust the mirror so you can see clearly behind
your vehicle. Hold the mirror in the center to move
it up or down and side to side.
The mirror may have an automatic dimming
feature that darkens gradually to reduce the glare
of headlamps from behind. When the ignition
key is inserted and turned on, the inside rear view
mirror always turns on in the automatic function
mode. An indicator light located on the mirror
will come on to show you that the function is on.
When the inside air temperature is low, it may take
a little longer for the mirror to darken in response
to the detection of headlights. Press the button
in the center of the mirror to turn this feature
on or off.
One photocell on the front of the mirror senses
when it is becoming dark outside. Another
photocell, facing rearward, senses headlamps
behind you.
To keep the photocells operating well, occasionally
clean them with a cotton swab and glass cleaner.
Outside Remote Control Mirrors
Your vehicle has outside power adjustable mirrors.
The controls are located
to the left of the steering
wheel on the instrument
panel.
To adjust either mirror, push the button labeled
L (left) or R (right). Use the arrows on the control
pad to adjust the direction of the mirror. Once
both mirrors have been adjusted, move the
selector switch back to the center. This prevents
the mirrors from being moved once they have been
adjusted.

Reading Lamps
If your vehicle has a sunroof, there will be a reading
lamp near the sunroof switch. Press the button to
turn the lamp on and press it again to turn it off.
If your vehicle does not have a sunroof, the
vehicle’s inside rearview mirror may have reading
lamps. If your vehicle has reading lamps, there
are two buttons located on the bottom of the
mirror. Press the buttons to turn the lamps on and
press them again to turn the lamps off.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
With the accessory power outlet, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment.
Your vehicle has an outlet under the climate
controls.
To use the outlet, the ignition must be in ON or
ACC. Pull down the small cover to access
the outlet.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always
turn off electrical equipment when not in
use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds
the maximum amperage rating.This circuit is protected by a fuse and has a
maximum current level. Do not use equipment
exceeding the maximum amperage rating.
Certain power accessory plugs may not be
compatible to the power accessory outlet and could
result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you
experience a problem see your dealer for additional
information on the power accessory plugs.
Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should. The
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not use equipment exceeding maximum
amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with
your dealer before adding electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the proper installation instructions included
with the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your warranty.
Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug because the
power outlets are designed for accessory
power plugs only.
