Battery Power Protection
This vehicle has a feature to help
prevent the battery from being

lamps are left on: vanity mirror
lamps, cargo lamps, reading lamps,
or glove box lamps. If any of these
lamps are left on, they will
automatically time-out after about
10 minutes. To reset it, the ignition
must be turned on.
Exterior Lighting Battery

on. This protects against draining
the battery. To restart the 10-minute
timer, turn the exterior lamp control
to the off position and then back to
the parking lamp or headlamp
position.
To keep the lamps on for more than
10 minutes, the ignition must be on
or in ACC/ACCESSORY.

152 Climate Controls
The heated outside mirrors turn on
with the rear window defogger and
help to clear fog or frost from the
surface of the mirror. SeeHeated
Mirrors 045.
If equipped with a power convertible
top, the rear window defogger and
heated mirrors are automatically
disabled when the power convertible
top is moving or down.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp
object on the inside rear window
can damage the antenna or
defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not stick anything to the rear
window.
z/{: If equipped, press to heat
or ventilate the seat. See Heated
and Ventilated Front Seats 064. Remote Start Climate Control
Operation (If Equipped) :
If remote
start is used to start the vehicle, the
climate control system will come on.
The system uses the driver ’s
previous settings to heat or cool the
inside of the vehicle. The rear
window defogger or heated outside
mirrors, if equipped, may come on
based on cold ambient conditions.
The rear defog indicator light may
not come on during a remote start.
The heated or ventilated seats may
turn on if it is cold or hot outside.
See Remote Vehicle Start 034 and
Heated and Ventilated Front Seats
0 64, if equipped.
Sensors
The interior cabin air temperature
and solar sensor on top of the
instrument panel near the
windshield monitors the solar heat
and measures the initial interior
cabin temperature. The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
The humidity and windshield
temperature sensor is on the
windshield glass inside surface near
the rearview mirror. The automatic
climate control system uses this
sensor to receive information to
determine the need for defogging.
If any of these sensors are blocked
or covered, the automatic climate
control system may not work
properly.
There is also a sensor behind the
front bumper. This sensor reads the
outside air temperature and helps to
maintain the temperature inside the
vehicle. Any cover on the front of
the vehicle could give a false
reading in the temperature.

3. Turn the steering wheel to gostraight down the roadway.
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
.Braking Skid —wheels are not
rolling.
. Steering or Cornering Skid —
too much speed or steering in a
curve causes tires to slip and
lose cornering force.
. Acceleration Skid —too much
throttle causes the driving
wheels to spin.
Defensive drivers avoid most skids
by taking reasonable care suited to
existing conditions, and by not
overdriving those conditions. But
skids are always possible. If the vehicle starts to slide, follow
these suggestions:
.
Ease your foot off the
accelerator pedal and steer the
way you want the vehicle to go.
The vehicle may straighten out.
Be ready for a second skid if it
occurs.
. Slow down and adjust your
driving according to weather
conditions. Stopping distance
can be longer and vehicle
control can be affected when
traction is reduced by water,
snow, ice, gravel, or other
material on the road. Learn to
recognize warning clues —such
as enough water, ice, or packed
snow on the road to make a
mirrored surface —and slow
down when you have any doubt.
. Try to avoid sudden steering,
acceleration, or braking,
including reducing vehicle speed
by shifting to a lower gear. Any
sudden changes could cause
the tires to slide. Remember: Antilock brakes help
avoid only the braking skid.
Track Events and
Competitive Driving
{Danger
High-performance features are
intended for use only on closed
tracks by experienced and
qualified drivers and should not
be used on public roads.
High-speed driving, aggressive
cornering, hard braking, and other
high-performance driving can be
dangerous. Improper driver inputs
for the conditions may result in
loss of control of the vehicle,
which could injure or kill you or
others. Always drive safely.
Participating in track events or other
competitive driving without following
the instructions provided may affect
the vehicle warranty. See the
warranty manual before using the
