Exterior Lighting
Exterior Lamp Controls
The exterior lamps control is on the
instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel.
O (Exterior Lamps): Turn the
control to select one of the
four exterior lamp positions.

6-6 Lighting
Fog Lamps
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.
Off-Road Lamps
For vehicles with off-road lamps,
they provide auxiliary lighting when
the vehicle is used off road. These
lamps are not intended to be used
in place of existing vehicle lighting.
They are not to be used on any
public street or highway and are to
be covered when not in use. Check
your state and local laws before
installing or using any auxiliary
lighting. In some states it may be
necessary to remove the roof lamps
when operating the vehicle on the
highway.
The off-road lamps button is located
on the instrument panel below the
climate controls.
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.

Lighting 6-9
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 one of these messages displays,
it is recommended that the driver
reduce the electrical loads as much
as possible. See
Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 5‑18.Battery Power Protection
The dome lamp is shut off 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.

8-2 Climate Controls
9(Fan Control): Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the fan speed.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
change the direction of the airflow in
the vehicle. The airflow can be set
between modes.
To change the current mode, select
one of the following:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets, and the
remaining air to the floor outlets
and the defroster and side window
outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the
floor outlets. [
(Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets, side window outlets,
and defroster. Recirculation is not
available in this mode.
/ (Floor/Defog): This clears the
windows of fog and moisture. Air is
directed to the windshield, side
window, and floor 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 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
dehumidifies 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 flashes
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
water might drip under the vehicle
while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.

Climate Controls 8-3
@(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 floor,
floor/defog or defrost modes. If you
try to select the recirculation mode,
the indicator flashes 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
flashes three times and stays on to
indicate that recirculation may not
be shut off.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses
a warming grid to remove fog or
frost from the rear window when the
key is in the ignition and turned to
ON/RUN.
=
(Rear Defogger): Press to turn
the rear window defogger on or off.
After the button is first pressed the
rear window defogger stays on for
about 15 minutes. If turned on
again, the defogger only runs for
about seven and one-half minutes.
Notice: Do not use anything
sharp on the inside of the rear
window. If you do, you could cut
or damage the warming grid, and
the repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle
license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.

10-96 Vehicle Care
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody with
plain water. Clean any areas where
mud and debris can collect. Dirt
packed in close areas of the frame
should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an
underbody car washing system
can do this.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and attack painted surfaces on
the vehicle. This damage can take
two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small, irregular
dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Interior Care
The vehicle's interior will continue
to look its best if it is cleaned often.
Dust and dirt can accumulate on the
upholstery and cause damage to
the carpet, fabric, leather, and
plastic surfaces. Stains should be
removed quickly as extreme heat
could cause them to set rapidly.
Lighter colored interiors may
require more frequent cleaning.
Newspapers and garments that can
transfer color to home furnishings
can also transfer color to the
vehicle's interior.
Remove dust from small buttons
and knobs with a small brush with
soft bristles.
Your dealer has products for
cleaning the vehicle's interior. When
cleaning the vehicle's interior, only
use cleaners specifically designed
for the surfaces that are being
cleaned. Permanent damage canresult from using cleaners on
surfaces for which they were not
intended. Apply the cleaner directly
to the cleaning cloth to prevent
over-spray. Remove any accidental
over-spray from other surfaces
immediately.
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.
Cleaners can contain solvents that
can become concentrated in the
vehicle's interior. Before using
cleaners, read and adhere to all
safety instructions on the label.
While cleaning the vehicle's interior,
maintain adequate ventilation by
opening the vehicle's doors and
windows.
