GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in Lamp Assemblies
Exterior lamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
• A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer. LIGHTING CONTROL Off.A

lamps, license plate lamps and

Headlamp Flasher
Slightly pull the lever toward you and
release it to flash the headlamps.
INSTRUMENT LIGHTING
DIMMER
Note:
If you disconnect the battery or it
becomes discharged, the dimmer switch
will require re-calibration. Rotate the
dimmer switch from the full dim position to
the full dome/on position to reset.
Note: Move the control to the full upright
position, past detent, to turn on the interior
lamps. Move the control up or down to adjust the
intensity of the panel lighting. DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (If
Equipped) WARNING
Always remember to switch your
headlamps on in low light situations
or during inclement weather. The
system does not activate the tail lamps
and may not provide adequate lighting
during these conditions. Failure to activate
your headlamps under these conditions
may result in a collision. The system switches the lamps on in
daylight conditions.
To switch the system on, switch the
ignition on, and switch the lighting control
to the off, autolamp or parking lamp
position.
DIRECTION INDICATORS
Push the lever up or down to use the
direction indicators.
Note:
Tap the lever up or down to make the
direction indicators flash three times to
indicate a lane change.

Manual Climate Control
Fan speed control: Adjust the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.
A
Temperature control:
Controls the temperature of the air circulated in your
vehicle.
B
NORM A/C:
Adjust to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air conditioning
cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve the time to reach a comfortable
temperature in hot weather, drive with the windows open until you feel cold air
through the air vents.
C
OFF:
Adjust to switch the system on and off. When the system is off, it prevents
outside air from entering the vehicle.
D
Air distribution control:
Adjust to switch airflow from the windshield,
instrument panel, or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any
combination of these vents.
E
MAX A/C:
Adjust for maximum cooling. Recirculated air flows through the
instrument panel vents and air conditioning automatically turns on.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: A small amount of air may be felt
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield
during humid weather, adjust the air
distribution control to the windshield air
vents position. Increase the temperature
and fan speed and select the A/C function
to improve clearing, if required.
Heating the Interior Quickly
• Adjust the fan speed to the highest
speed setting.
• Adjust the temperature control to the
highest setting.
• Adjust the air distribution control to the
footwell air vents position. Recommended Settings for
Heating
•
Adjust the fan speed to the second
speed setting.
• Adjust the temperature control to the
midway point of the hot settings.
• Adjust the air distribution control to the
footwell and windshield air vents
position.
Cooling the Interior Quickly
• Adjust the fan speed to the highest
speed setting.
• Select the MAX A/C function.
• Adjust the air distribution control to the
instrument panel air vents position.
Recommended Settings for
Cooling
• Adjust the fan speed to the second
speed setting.
• Adjust the temperature control to the

• Adjust the air distribution control to the
instrument panel air vents position.
Vehicle Stationary for Extended
Periods During Extreme High
Ambient Temperatures
• Apply the parking brake.
• Move the transmission selector lever

12 Volt DC Power Point
WARNINGS
Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the cigar
lighter can cause damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury. Do not use a power point for
operating a cigar lighter. Incorrect
use of the power points can cause
damage not covered by the vehicle
warranty, and can result in fire or serious
injury. Note:
When you switch the ignition on, you
can use the socket to power 12 volt
appliances with a maximum current rating
of 15 amps.
If the power supply does not work after you
switch the ignition off, switch the ignition
on.
Note: Do not hang any accessory from the
accessory plug.
Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.
Note: Always keep the power point caps
closed when not in use.
Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
will damage the power point and blow the
fuse.
Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.
To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
• Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.
• Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods. Locations
Power points may be in the following
locations:
•
On the instrument panel.
• Inside the glove box.
• Behind the driver's seat, upper trim
panel.
110 Volt AC Power Point (If Equipped) WARNING
Do not keep electrical devices
plugged in the power point whenever
the device is not in use. Do not use
any extension cord with the 110 volt AC
power point, since it will defeat the safety
protection design. Doing so may cause the
power point to overload due to powering
multiple devices that can reach beyond
the 150 watt load limit and could result in
fire or serious injury. Note:
The power point will turn off when
the ignition is switched off or the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts.
Use the power point for powering electric
devices that require up to 150 watts. It is
on the rear of the center console. To gain access to the outlet contacts,
press the plug against the outlet and rotate
clockwise.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNING
The traction control light illuminates
steadily if a failure is detected in the
system. Verify that the traction
control system was not manually disabled
using the switch. If the traction control light
is still illuminating steadily, have the
system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Operating your vehicle with
traction control disabled could lead to an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. The system automatically turns on each
time you switch the ignition on.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Switching the System Off
The switch for the traction
control system is located on the
instrument panel.
When you switch the system off, an
illuminated icon appears on the instrument
cluster.
Use the switch again to return the traction
control system to normal operation. System Indicator Lights and
Messages The traction control light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes
when a driving condition activates the
system. The traction control off light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and stays on:
• When you switch the traction control
system off.
• If a problem occurs in the system.
