Notice:Cranking the engine for long periods of
time, by pressing the START button immediately
after cranking has ended, can overheat and damage
the cranking motor, and drain the battery. Wait at
least 15 seconds between each try, to allow the
cranking motor to cool down.
When the engine starts, let go of the accelerator. If the
vehicle starts briey but then stops again, do the same
thing. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine.
The vehicle has a Computer-Controlled Cranking
System. This feature assists in starting the engine
and protects components. Once cranking has been
initiated, the engine continues cranking for a few
seconds or until the vehicle starts. If the engine does
not start, cranking automatically stops after 15 seconds
to prevent cranking motor damage. To prevent gear
damage, this system also prevents cranking if the
engine is already running.Notice:The engine is designed to work with the
electronics in the vehicle. If you add electrical parts
or accessories, you could change the way the engine
operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check
with your dealer/retailer. If you do not, the engine
might not perform properly. Any resulting damage
would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Stopping the Engine
Move the shift lever to P (Park) and press the Acc. button
located on the instrument panel. If the shifter is not in
P (Park), the engine shuts off and the vehicle goes into
the Accessory Mode. The DIC displays SHIFT TO PARK.
Once the shifter is moved to P (Park), the vehicle
turns off.
The DIC displays NO FOB, OFF OR RUN?, if the
keyless access transmitter is not detected inside the
vehicle when it is turned off.
SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-60for

Move the lever to the following positions:
1(High Speed):For steady wiping at high speed.
6(Low Speed):For steady wiping at low speed.
&(Delay):Use to set a delay between wipes.
x(Delay Adjustment):Use for a delayed wiping
cycle. Turn the intermittent adjust band down for
a longer delay or up for a shorter delay. The wiper
speed can only be manually adjusted when the lever
is in this position.
9(Off):Turns off the windshield wipers.
8(Mist):Move all the way down to mist and release
for a single wiping cycle. The windshield wipers will
stop after one wipe. Hold the band on mist longer for
more wipes.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. If this occurs,
a circuit breaker will stop the wipers until the motor cools.
Clear all ice and snow from the windshield wiper blades
before using them. If the wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen them or warm the windshield
before turning the wipers on. If they become worn or
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Rainsense™ Wipers
With Rainsense wipers, there is a moisture sensor
mounted on the interior side of the windshield below
the rearview mirror, and it automatically operates the
wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up
on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the
windshield depending on driving conditions and the
sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will
occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more
frequently. The Rainsense wipers operate in a delay
mode as well as a continuous low or high speed as
needed. If the system is left on for long periods of time,
occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on
the windshield. This is normal and indicates that the
Rainsense system is activated.
The Rainsense system is also sensitive to vibration.
The system may activate if something hits the
windshield or if the vehicle hits a bump.
The Rainsense system can be activated by moving the
wiper lever up to the delay position and turning the
delay adjust band to one of the ve sensitivity levels.
The bottom delay adjust position is the lowest sensitivity
setting, level one. This allows more rain or snow to
collect on the windshield between wipes. Turning the
delay adjust band away from you to the higher sensitivity
levels allows less rain or snow to collect on the
windshield between wipes.

To change the current mode, select one of the following:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
%(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the instrument
panel and oor outlets. In automatic operation, cooler air
is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the
oor outlets.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the oor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side window
outlets.
-(Floor/Defog):This mode clears windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, oor
outlets and side windows. In this mode, the system
turns off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is near or
below freezing.
1(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Press to direct air to the
windshield, with some air directed to the side windows.In this mode, the system automatically turns off the
recirculation and runs the air conditioning compressor,
unless the outside temperature is near or below freezing.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
A/C OFF (Air Conditioning):Press to turn off the air
conditioning compressor. Press AUTO to return to
automatic operation. The compressor cannot be turned
off in either the defrost or oor/defog mode.
?(Recirculation):Press to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. The air conditioning compressor
also comes on.
This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the
air inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent
outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation is not available in defrost or oor/defog
modes.
Using recirculation for long periods of time may cause
the air inside the vehicle to become too dry. To prevent
this from happening, after the air in the vehicle has
cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
