GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE41
Dimmer Controls
The dimmer switch is located next to the
headlight switch.

Instrument Panel Dimmer Control

With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating
the left dimmer control upward will increase the
brightness of the instrument panel lights.
Rotating the left dimmer control completely
upward to the second detent (extreme top
position) will turn on the interior lights. The
interior lights will remain on when the dimmer
control is in this position.
Rotating the left dimmer control to the off
position (extreme bottom) will turn the interior
lights off, and will remain off when the doors or
liftgate are opened.
Parade Mode (Daytime Brightness Feature)
Rotate the dimmer control upward to the first
detent. This feature brightens all text displays
such as the odometer, instrument cluster
display, and radio when the parking lights or
headlights are on.
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERS
The wipers and washers are operated by a
switch within the multifunction lever. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to select the
desired wiper speed.

Washer And Wiper Controls
NOTE:
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the windshield
wiper switch is turned off and the blades cannot
return to the off position, damage to the wiper
motor may occur.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first
detent past the intermittent settings for
low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of
the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To
avoid sudden icing of the windshield during
freezing weather, warm the windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.

Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and
the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft
cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will
remove accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or
ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber
out of contact with petroleum products such as
engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies
depending on geographical area and frequency
of use. Poor performance of blades may be
present with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions are
present, clean the wiper blades or replace as
necessary.
Exhaust System
The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the
exhaust system; or if the exhaust fumes can be
detected inside the vehicle; or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged;
have an authorized technician inspect the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose
connections could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, have the exhaust system inspected
each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or
oil change. Replace as required.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can
make you unconscious and can eventually
poison you. To avoid breathing CO, refer to
“Safety Tips” in “Safety” for further
information.
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such
materials might be grass or leaves coming
into contact with your exhaust system. Do
not park or operate your vehicle in areas
where your exhaust system can contact
anything that can burn.
CAUTION!
The catalytic converter requires the use of
unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline will
destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as
an emissions control device and may seri -
ously reduce engine performance and
cause serious damage to the engine.
WARNING! (Continued)
