Instrument Panel 3-1

The off-road lamps button is located
on the instrument panel below
the climate controls.
To use the lamps, remove the
covers from the lamps and press
the button to turn them on or off. An
indicator light turns on when the
lamps are on.
Notice:Turning on the off-road
lamps before removing the
lamp covers could damage the
off-road lamps and the covers.
Always remove the covers before
turning on the off-road lamps. The off-road lamps remain on even
after the ignition is turned off.
The off-road lamp button must be
pressed to turn them off.
Fog Lamps
The vehicle has fog lamps that
provide better visibility in foggy or
misty conditions.
The fog lamp button is located in
the exterior lamps control.
#(Fog Lamps):
The headlamps
or parking lamps must be on for
the fog lamps to work. Press
#to turn the fog lamps on or off. An
indicator light turns on when the fog
lamps are on.
Never use the fog lamps in the dark
without turning on the headlamps.
When the high-beam headlamps are
turned on, the fog lamps turn off
automatically. When the high-beam
headlamps are turned off, the
fog lamps come on again.
Some localities have laws that
require the headlamps to be
on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel
Brightness
This feature controls the brightness
of the instrument panel lights.
The instrument panel brightness
thumbwheel is located next to
the exterior lamp control.
D(Instrument Panel Brightness):
Turn the thumbwheel up or down
to brighten or dim the instrument
panel lights and the radio display.
Instrument Panel 3-15

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 bring the charge
back up. When the state of charge is
high, the voltage is lowered
slightly to prevent overcharging. If
the vehicle has a voltmeter gage or
a voltage display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC), 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 fastenough 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 are on, such
as: 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.
EPM works to prevent excessive
discharge of the battery. It does this
by balancing the generator’s
output and the vehicle’s electrical
needs. It can increase engine
idle speed to generate more power,
whenever needed. It can temporarily
reduce the power demands of
some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in
steps or levels, without being
noticeable. In rare cases at the
highest levels of corrective action,this action may be noticeable to the
driver. If so, a Driver Information
Center (DIC) message might be
displayed, such as BATTERY
SAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY
VOLTAGE LOW, or LOW BATTERY.
If this message is displayed, it is
recommended that the driver reduce
the electrical loads as much as
possible. SeeDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-37.
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/OFF. This helps to
prevent the battery from being
drained.
Instrument Panel 3-17

[(Floor):Air is directed to the
oor outlets, side window outlets,
and defroster. Recirculation is
not available in this mode.
/(Floor/Defog):This mode clears
the windows of fog and moisture.
Air is directed to the windshield, side
window, and oor outlets. The
system runs the air conditioning
unless the outside temperature is
near freezing or below. Recirculation
is not available in this mode.
0(Defrost):This mode clears
the windshield of fog or frost
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and side window
outlets. The system runs the air
conditioning system unless
the outside temperature is near or
below freezing. Recirculation is
not available in this mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
#(Air Conditioning):Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light comes
on when the air conditioning
is turned on. This system cools and
dehumidies 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 light ashes three
times and then turns 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 a small
amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is
normal.@(Recirculation):Press to turn
the recirculation mode on or off. An
indicator light comes on when the
recirculation is on. This mode
recirculates and helps to quickly cool
the air inside the vehicle. It can be
used to prevent outside air and odors
from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation is available in the
bi-level and vent modes. This mode
cannot be selected while in the oor,
oor/defog or defrost modes. If you
try to select the recirculation mode,
the indicator ashes three times
indicating it is not available in that
mode. When the recirculation mode
is turned on, the air conditioning
turns on automatically.
When it is hot enough outside, the
recirculation mode may turn on
automatically to help improve cooling
performance. The indicator light will
be lit to show this mode is active. If
the recirculation button is pressed
while in this mode, the light ashes
three times and stays on to indicate
that recirculation may not be shut off.

Appearance Care
Interior Cleaning
The vehicle’s interior will continue to
look its best if it is cleaned often.
Although not always visible,
dust and dirt can accumulate on the
upholstery. Dirt can damage
carpet, fabric, leather, and plastic
surfaces. Regular vacuuming
is recommended to remove particles
from the upholstery. It is important
to keep the upholstery from
becoming and remaining heavily
soiled. Soils should be removed as
quickly as possible. The vehicle’s
interior may experience extremes of
heat that could cause stains to
set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may require
more frequent cleaning. Use care
because newspapers and garments
that transfer color to home
furnishings may also transfer color
to the vehicle’s interior.When cleaning the vehicle’s interior,
only use cleaners specically
designed for the surfaces being
cleaned. Permanent damage may
result from using cleaners on
surfaces for which they were not
intended. Use glass cleaner only on
glass. Remove any accidental
over-spray from other surfaces
immediately. To prevent over-spray,
apply cleaner directly to the
cleaning cloth.
Notice:Using abrasive cleaners
when cleaning glass surfaces
on the vehicle, could scratch the
glass and/or cause damage to
the rear window defogger.
When cleaning the glass on the
vehicle, use only a soft cloth
and glass cleaner.
Many cleaners contain solvents that
may become concentrated in the
vehicle’s breathing space. Before
using cleaners, read and adhere
to all safety instructions on the label.
While cleaning the vehicle’sinterior, maintain adequate
ventilation by opening the vehicle’s
doors and windows.
Dust may be removed from small
buttons and knobs using a small
brush with soft bristles.
Products that remove odors from
the vehicle’s upholstery and
clean the vehicle’s glass can be
obtained from your dealer/retailer.
Do not clean the vehicle using:
A knife or any other sharp object
to remove a soil from any interior
surface.
A stiff brush. It can cause
damage to the vehicle’s interior
surfaces.
Heavy pressure or aggressive
rubbing with a cleaning cloth.
Use of heavy pressure can
damage the interior and does
not improve the effectiveness of
soil removal.
