headlight  switch  is  turned  to  the    position,
and  the  dusk  sensor  detects  sufficient
external light.
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights
may  deactivate,  or  reduce  intensity,  on  one
side of  the  vehicle  (when  a turn signal  is  acti -
vated  on  that  side),  or  on  both  sides  of  the
vehicle  (when  the  hazard  warning  lights  are
activated).
If  equipped, the  DRLs can be  activated/deac -

the  flow  of  air.  The  air  vanes  of  the  center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up
and  down  or  side  to  side  to  regulate  airflow
direction.  There  is  a  shut  off  wheel  located
below  the  air  vanes  to  shut  off  or  adjust  the
amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets  and  floor  outlets.  A  slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost  and  side  window  demister
outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level  mode  is  designed  under  comfort
conditions  to  provide  cooler  air  out  of  the
panel  outlets  and  warmer  air  from  the  floor
outlets.
Floor Mode
Air  comes  from  the  floor  outlets.  A
slight  amount  of  air  is  directed
through the defrost and side window
demister  outlets.  This  setting  heats
the passenger compartment the quickest.
Mix Mode
Air  is  directed  through  the  floor,
defrost,  and  side  window  demister
outlets.  This  setting  works  best  in
cold or snowy conditions that require
extra  heat  to  the  windshield.  This  setting  is
good  for  maintaining  comfort  while  reducing
moisture on the windshield.
Front Defrost And Panel Mode
Air  flow  is  distributed  between  the
windshield  demisting/defrosting
vents  and  side/central  dashboard
vents.  This  setting  allows  air  to  flow
to the windshield on sunny days.
Front Defrost And Bi-Level Mode
Air flow is distributed to all vents.

tion of the air conditioner.
At  any  time  during  automatic  operation,  you
can change the temperature, activate or deac -
tivate  the  Rear  Defrost,  activate  SYNC,  acti -
vate  or  deactivate  the  air  conditioner,  and
activate  or  deactivate  air  recirculation.  The
system  will  automatically  adjust  to  the  new

To obtain a more accurate reading, it is advis -
able  to  check  the  pressure  of  the  compact
spare  tire  on  the  pressure  gauge  with  the
compressor off.
NOTE:
Do  not  stow  the  deflated  tire  in  the  compact
spare tire location.
The compressor was designed for inflating the
compact  spare  tire.  Do  not  use  it  for  inflating
mattresses, rafts, etc.
NOTE:
Spare  tires  are  intended  for  temporary  use
only.
Have the full-sized tire repaired or replaced, as
soon as possible.
TIRE SERVICE KIT — IF 
EQUIPPED
Description
If  a tire  is punctured,  you  can  make  an  emer -
gency repair using the Tire Service Kit located
in  the  rear  storage  area  under  the  load  plat -
form.
1. Stop  the  vehicle  in  a  position  where  you can repair the tire safely. You should be as
far  as  possible  from  the  side  of  the  road,
and in a position that is not dangerous for
oncoming  traffic.  Turn  on  the  Hazard
Warning  Flashers,  remove  the  safety
triangle  from  the  luggage  compartment,
and place it at a suitable distance from the
vehicle  to  make  other  drivers  aware  of
your presence.
2. Verify  that  the  valve  stem  (on  the  wheel with the  deflated  tire)  is in a  position  that
is near to the ground. This will allow the tire repair  kit  hoses  to  reach  the  valve  stem
and  keep  the  tire  service  kit  flat  on  the
ground.
3. Place the gear selector in PARK (P).
4. Apply the  electric  park brake and turn the engine OFF.
To access the Tire Service Kit, open the liftgate
and lift the load floor.
Load Floor
The Tire Service Kit consists of:
Sealant  cartridge  containing  the  sealing
fluid
Filler Tube
Air  compressor,  complete  with  pressure
gauge and connectors
Adhesive  label  with  the  writing  "Max.
50 mph  (80 km/h)”,  to  be  attached  in  a
position  easily  visible  to  the  driver  (e.g.  on
the dashboard) after repairing the tire
 WARNING!
To  avoid  the  risk  of  forcing  the  vehicle  off
the jack, do not tighten the wheel nuts fully
until  the  vehicle  has  been  lowered.  Failure
to  follow  this  warning  may  result  in  serious
injury.
 WARNING!
A  loose  tire  or  jack  thrown  forward  in  a
collision  or  hard  stop  could  endanger  the
occupants  of  the  vehicle.  Always  stow  the
jack  parts  and  the  spare  tire  in  the  places
provided.  Have  the  deflated  (flat)  tire
repaired or replaced immediately.
