Fog Lamps
For vehicles with fog lamps, the
button is located on the instrument
panel next to the exterior lamps
switch.
#:Press to turn the fog lamps on
or off.
The fog lamp indicator in the
instrument panel comes on when
the fog lamps are in use.
The parking lamps or low-beam
headlamps must be on, before the
fog lamps can be turned on.
If the exterior lamp control is set
to AUTO mode, the parking lamps
and low-beam headlamps come on
simultaneously when the fog lamps
are turned on.
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 thumbwheel for this feature
is located on the left side of
the steering wheel next to the
exterior lamps control.
Turn the thumbwheel to the right or
left to brighten or dim the lights.
Dome Lamp
*
(Dome Lamp Override):Press
this button to keep the dome lamps
and other interior lamps turned off
while any door is open. Press this
button again to return it to the out
position and the lamps automatically
come on when any door is opened.
+(On/Off):Press this button
to turn the dome lamps on and off
while the doors are closed.
Entry Lighting
If the dome lamp override button is
in the out position, the lamps inside
the vehicle automatically come on
when any door is opened or when
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
unlock button is pressed. After the
door is opened the lights remain on
and stay on for 20 seconds after the
doors are closed, or until the key is
put into the ignition and turned to
the ACC/ACCESSORY position.
The lights will then gradually dim
until they are no longer lit.

Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located on
the overhead console.
To turn the reading lamps on or off,
press the button located next to
each lamp.
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 InformationCenter (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 fast enough 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 3-49.

)(Bi-Level):Air is divided
between the instrument panel
and the oor outlets.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the
oor outlets with some air directed
to the windshield.
When this mode is selected, the
system turns the recirculation mode
off. Recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in oor mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
-(Defog):This mode clears
the windows of fog or moisture.
Air is directed to the oor outlets,
with some air directed to the
windshield and side window outlets.
In this mode, the system turns the
recirculation mode off and runs the
air conditioning compressor unless
the outside air is at or below freezing.
Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defog mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
0(Defrost):This mode removes
fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and the side window
outlets. In this mode, the system
turns the recirculation mode off
automatically and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside air is at or below freezing.
Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defrost mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
#(Air Conditioning):Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light comes on to
show that the air conditioning is on.
The air conditioning can be selected
in any mode as long as the fan is on
and the outside temperature is above
freezing. A ashing indicator light
indicates that the air conditioning
compressor is currently not available.On hot days, open the windows to
let hot inside air escape; then close
them. This helps reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down
and helps the system to operate
more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days,
select the following settings
together:
1. Select
Hmode.
2. Select
;.
3. Turn the
#on.
4. Select the coolest temperature
and highest fan speed.
5. Once the vehicle’s interior
temperature is below the outside
temperature, select recirculation
mode for enhanced cooling.
Using these settings together for
long periods of time may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening,
after the air inside of the vehicle
has cooled, turn the recirculation
mode off.
3-18 Instrument Panel

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.
;(Outside Air):Press to turn the
outside air mode on. An indicator
light comes on to show that outside
air is on. Air from outside the vehicle
will circulate throughout the vehicle.
The outside air mode can be used
with all modes, but it cannot be
used with the recirculation mode.
Pressing this button will cancel the
recirculation mode.
@(Recirculation):Press to
turn on the recirculation mode.
An indicator light comes on to show
that recirculation is on. This mode
recirculates and helps to quickly
cool or heat the air inside the vehicle.
It can be used to prevent outside air
and odors from entering the vehicle.
Avoid using the recirculation mode
during high periods of humidity
and cool outside temperatures
since this may result in increased
window fogging. If window fogging
is experienced, select the
defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available in
oor, defog or defrost modes and will
shut off automatically and change to
outside air. The indicator will ash if
the button is selected in any of these
modes. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up
inside the vehicle.Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.
The rear window defogger only
works when the ignition is in
ON/RUN.
<(Rear Window Defogger):
Press to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light
on the button comes on to show
that the rear window is activated.
The rear window defogger stays
on for approximately 10 minutes
after the button is pressed, unless
the ignition is turned to ACC/
ACCESSORY or LOCK/OFF.
If turned on again, the defogger only
runs for approximately ve minutes
before turning off again. At higher
vehicle speeds, the defogger may
stay on continuously. The defogger
can also be turned off by turning off
the engine.

Temperature Control:Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the
temperature. Select the desired
cabin air temperature between
60-90°F (16-32°C). Typically, the
best setting is near 75°F (23°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any
faster.
Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise
to change the current airow mode.
Select from the following air
delivery modes:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
