Operating tips
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air engaged.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.

•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the vehicle has
“aired out.”
•A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
In extremely cold temperatures, to maximize overall heater performance
it is suggested to not operate the auxiliary system (if equipped) until the
engine temperature gauge crosses into the normal operating range.
For maximum cooling performance (MAX A/C):
1. Select MAX A/C. The system will default to single-zone operation and
set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
2. A/C,
andwill be selected.
3. Fan speed will be increased to the highest speed, but can be adjusted
as desired.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan to the highest speed.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents toward the side windows.

HEADLAMP CONTROL
Turns the lamps off.
Turns on the parking lamps,
instrument panel lamps, license
plate lamps and tail lamps.
Turns the low beam headlamps
on.
Adaptive headlamps
The headlamp beams move in the same direction as the steering wheel
which provides more visibility when driving around curves.
•Without adaptive headlamps (1)
•With adaptive headlamps (2)
Note:The system has a power-up
movement check feature. When the
vehicle is started, the lamps track
left to right, then back to center to
alert the driver that the system is
working properly. There is a delay of
two to five seconds before the
adaptive headlamp system will
operate when the vehicle is driven,
as the system is inactive below
3 mph (5 km/h).

Fog lamp control
With the ignition on, the fog lamps
can be turned on when the
headlamp control is pulled toward
you and is in any of the following
positions:
•Parking lamps
•Low beams
•Autolamps (when active)
The fog lamp indicator light will
illuminate when the fog lamps have been turned on. The fog lamps will
not operate when the high beams are active.
High beams
Push the lever toward the
instrument panel to activate. Pull
the lever towards you to deactivate.
Auto high beams
During nighttime driving, the automatic high beam system automatically
turns on your high beams if it is dark enough and no other traffic is
present. When it detects an approaching vehicle’s headlights or a
preceding vehicle’s tail lamps, the system turns off the high beams (low
beams remain on) before they distract other drivers.
If the vehicle is equipped with automatic high beams, the high beam
switch will operate differently depending on the status of the automatic
high beam system. Each of the possible operating scenarios are detailed
below:
Scenario 1:
Conditions -The automatic high beam system is set to ON in the
message center. The headlamp switch is in
(auto lamps). The
automatic high beam system has turned the high beams on.
Operation -The high beam switch will not perform any function.

Scenario 2:
Conditions -The automatic high beam system is set to ON in the
message center. The headlamp switch is in
(auto lamps). The
automatic high beam system has not turned the high beams on.
Operation -The high beam switch can be used to turn the high beams
on. They will then remain on until the switch has been returned to the
neutral position and the auto high beam system has turned the high
beams off.
Scenario 3:
Conditions -The automatic high beam system is set to ON in the
message center. The headlamp switch is in
(off),(parking lamps),
or
(on).
Operation -The high beam switch can be used to turn the high beams
on and off.
Scenario 4:
Conditions -The automatic high beam system is set to OFF in the
message center. The headlamp switch is in
(auto
lamps),
(off),(parking lamps), or(on).
Operation -The high beam switch can be used to turn the high beams
on and off.
Enabling/disabling auto high beams
Enabling/disabling and/or checking the status of the automatic high beam
system can be performed using the message center. SeeMessage center
in theInstrument Clusterchapter.
Activating high beams
If there is no traffic in front of the vehicle, the high beams will come on
automatically and the
light will display in the instrument panel if
the following are true:
•The headlamp control is in auto lamp
mode.
•Fog lamps are turned off.
•The ambient light level is low enough that high beams are needed.
•Vehicle speed must be greater than 32 mph (51 km/h).
•Severe weather is not detected.

•the transmission must be out of the P (Park) position.
WARNING:Always remember to turn on your headlamps at
dusk or during inclement weather. The Daytime Running Lamp
(DRL) system does not activate the tail lamps and generally may not
provide adequate lighting during these conditions. Failure to activate
your headlamps under these conditions may result in a collision.
PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlamp and parking lamp
operation.
Tap the top of the switch to the first
detent to brighten all interior lighted
components. Tap the bottom of the
switch to the first detent to dim all
interior lighted components. Press
and hold the switch until the
desired lighting level is reached.
Press and hold the top of the switch to the second detent to activate the
interior courtesy lights. The lights will remain on until bottom of the
switch is pressed and held at the second detent.
Note:If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is
installed, the dimmer switch requires re-calibration. Press the dimmer
switch from the full dim position to the full on position to reset. This will
ensure that your displays are visible under all lighting conditions.
AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident, the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized dealer.
Vertical aim adjustment
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
