4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to ON within 10 seconds of removing the previous key. 5. The SECURITY light will turn off once the key has been programmed. It may not be apparent that the SECURITY light went on due to how quickly the key is programmed. 6. Repeat the Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are to be programmed. 2-23 If you are ever driving and the SECURITY light comes on and stays on, you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your PASS- Key® III system, however, is not working properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS-Key® III system at this time. If you lose or damage a PASS-Key® III key, contact your dealer to have a new key made. In an emergency, contact Cadillac Roadside Assistance. See Roadside Service on page 7-6. Starting and Operating Your Vehicle New Vehicle Break-In Notice: Your vehicle does not need an elaborate “break-in.” But it will perform better in the long run if you follow these guidelines: • Do not drive at any one speed — fast or slow — for the ﬁrst 500 miles (805 km). Do not make full-throttle starts. • Avoid making hard stops for the ﬁrst 200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time your new brake linings are not yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and earlier replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline every time you get new brake linings. • Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See Towing a Trailer on page 4-37 for more information. 2-24 Ignition Positions With the key in the ignition switch, located on the instrument panel, you can turn the key to four different positions: If your key seems stuck in OFF and you Notice: can not turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the key or the ignition switch. If none of this works, then your vehicle needs service. OFF: This is the only position in which you can insert or remove the key. This position also locks the transaxle. It’s a theft-deterrent feature. ACC (Accessory): This position lets you use things like the radio, windshield wipers, power windows and optional sunroof when the engine is off. Use ACC if you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine is off, for example, if your vehicle is being pushed or towed. ON: This is the position for driving. START: This position starts the engine. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) The following accessories on your vehicle may be used for up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned from ON to OFF: • Cellular Phone (If Equipped) • Radio • Power Windows • Audio Steering Wheel Controls • Sunroof (Option) Power to these accessories stops after 10 minutes or if a door is opened. If you want power for another 10 minutes, close all the doors and turn the ignition key to ON and then back to OFF. If the cellular phone is being used while retained accessory power is active, the timer is suspended to avoid interruption of the call. The timer resets to 10 minutes at the end of the call. 2-25 3. If your engine still will not start, or starts but then stops, it could be ﬂooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the ﬂoor and holding it there as you hold the key in START for about three seconds. If the vehicle starts brieﬂy but then stops again, do the same thing. Notice: Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer. If you do not, your engine might not perform properly. Starting Your Engine Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine will not start in any other position – that is a safety feature. To restart when you are already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Notice: Shifting into PARK (P) with the vehicle moving could damage the transaxle. Shift into PARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped. 1. With your foot off the accelerator pedal, turn your ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let go of the key. The idle speed will go down as your engine gets warm. Notice: Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can damage your starter motor. Wait about 15 seconds between each try to help avoid draining your battery or damaging your starter. 2. If it does not start within 10 seconds, hold your key in START for about 10 seconds at a time until your engine starts. Wait about 15 seconds between each try. 2-26 Engine Coolant Heater Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine coolant heater. In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder, the engine coolant heater can help. You will get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of the coolant heater is not required. A. Engine Oil Dipstick Location B. Engine Coolant Heater Cord C. Transaxle Dipstick/Fluid Fill Location 2-27 To Use the Engine Coolant Heater 1. Turn off the engine. 2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord. The electrical cord is located on the driver’s side of the engine, behind the transaxle dipstick/ﬂuid ﬁll location (C) and next to the engine. 3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet. How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the kind of oil you have, and some other things. Instead of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact your dealer in the area where you will be parking your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that particular area. Automatic Transaxle Operation {CAUTION: Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong kind of extension cord could overheat and cause a ﬁre. You could be seriously injured. Plug the cord into a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt AC outlet. If the cord will not reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for at least 15 amps. 4. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and store the cord as it was before to keep it away from moving engine parts. If you do not, it could be damaged. 2-28 There are several different positions for the shift lever, which is located on the console between the seats. PARK (P): This position locks the front wheels. It is the best position to use when you start the engine because your vehicle cannot move easily. {CAUTION: It is dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake ﬁrmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P). See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-32. If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-37. Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before starting the engine. Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock control system. You have to fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) while the ignition key is in ON. If you cannot shift the shift lever all the way into PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever and push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you wish. See Shifting Out of Park (P) on page 2-34. REVERSE (R): Use this gear to backup. Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is moving forward could damage the transaxle. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is stopped. Also use this gear to rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice or sand without damaging your transaxle. See If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-28 for additional information. 2-29 NEUTRAL (N): In this position, the engine does not connect with the wheels. To restart when you are already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Also use NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed. {CAUTION: Shifting into a drive gear while your engine is running at high speed is dangerous. Unless your foot is ﬁrmly on the brake pedal, your vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or objects. Do not shift into a drive gear while your engine is running at high speed. AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (X): This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you are: • Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push the accelerator pedal about halfway down. • Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down. The transaxle will shift down to the next gear and have more power. Notice: Driving your vehicle if you notice that it is moving slowly or not shifting gears as you increase speed may damage the transaxle. Have your vehicle serviced right away. You can drive in SECOND (2) when you are driving less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) for higher speeds until then. THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal driving, however, it offers more power and lower fuel economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (X). Here are examples for using THIRD (3) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (X): • When driving on hilly, winding roads. • When going down a steep hill. SECOND (2): This position gives you more power. You can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on. Notice: Do not shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h), or you can damage your engine. FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. 2-30 If the traction control switch is off, your vehicle will not go into FIRST (1) gear and the vehicle will accelerate from stop more slowly. This can help in deep snow or mud conditions. When the traction control is turned off, a message will light up on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Notice: Spinning the tires or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the transaxle. If you are stuck, do not spin the tires. When stopping on a hill, use the brakes to hold the vehicle in place. Parking Brake The parking brake pedal is located to the left of the regular brake pedal, near the driver’s door. This vehicle has a PUSH TO RELEASE parking brake pedal. To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot and push the parking brake pedal down with your left foot. If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light on the instrument panel cluster should come on. If it does not, you need to have your vehicle serviced. To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot and push the parking brake pedal down with your left foot. When you lift your left foot, the parking brake pedal will follow it to the released position. If you try to drive with the parking brake on, after about 20 feet (6.1 m) a chime will sound continuously until you release the parking brake. Also, the brake light will stay on until the parking brake is released. Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the brake system and cause premature wear or damage to brake system parts. Verify that the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off before driving. If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-37. 2-31 Shifting Into Park (P) 1. Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot. 2. Move the shift lever into PARK (P) by pushing the lever all the way toward the front of your vehicle and then to the left. 3. With your right foot still holding the brake pedal down, set the parking brake. 4. Turn the ignition key to OFF. 5. Remove the key and take it with you. If you can leave your vehicle with the ignition key in your hand, your vehicle is in PARK (P). {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake ﬁrmly set. Your vehicle can roll. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, use the steps that follow. If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-37. 2-32 Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with the engine running. Your vehicle could move suddenly if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake ﬁrmly set. And, if you leave the vehicle with the engine running, it could overheat and even catch ﬁre. You or others could be injured. Do not leave your vehicle with the engine running. If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your vehicle is in PARK (P) and your parking brake is ﬁrmly set before you leave it. Torque Lock If you are parking on a hill and you do not shift your transaxle into PARK (P) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in the transaxle. You may ﬁnd it difficult to pull the shift lever out of PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the driver’s seat. To ﬁnd out how, see Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-32. If torque lock does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some of the pressure from the parking pawl in the transaxle, so you can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P). 2-33 Shifting Out of Park (P) Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock control system which locks the shift lever in PARK (P) when the ignition is in the OFF position. In addition, you have to fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition is ON. See Automatic Transaxle Operation on page 2-28. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever and push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you want. If you ever hold the pedal down but still cannot shift out of PARK (P), try the following: 1. Turn the ignition key to ACC. Open and close the driver’s door to turn off the RAP feature. 2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4. 3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N). 4. Start the vehicle and then shift to the drive gear you want. 5. Have the vehicle ﬁxed as soon as you can. 2-34 Parking Over Things That Burn {CAUTION: Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust parts under your vehicle and ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves, dry grass or other things that can burn. Engine Exhaust {CAUTION: Engine exhaust can kill. It contains the gas carbon monoxide (CO), which you can not see or smell. It can cause unconsciousness and death. You might have exhaust coming in if: • Your exhaust system sounds strange or different. • Your vehicle gets rusty underneath. • Your vehicle was damaged in a collision. CAUTION: (Continued) • Your vehicle was damaged when driving over high points on the road or over road debris. • Repairs were not done correctly. • Your vehicle or exhaust system had been modiﬁed improperly. If you ever suspect exhaust is coming into your vehicle: • Drive it only with all the windows down to blow out any CO; and • Have your vehicle ﬁxed immediately. CAUTION: (Continued) 2-35 {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake ﬁrmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Do not leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake after you move the shift lever to PARK (P). Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle will not move. See Shifting Into Park (P) on page 2-32. If you are parking on a hill and if you are pulling a trailer, also see Towing a Trailer on page 4-37. Running Your Engine While You Are Parked It is better not to park with the engine running. But if you ever have to, here are some things to know. {CAUTION: Idling the engine with the climate control system off could allow dangerous exhaust into your vehicle. See the earlier Caution under Engine Exhaust on page 2-35. Also, idling in a closed-in place can let deadly carbon monoxide (CO) into your vehicle even if the climate control fan is at the highest setting. One place this can happen is a garage. Exhaust — with CO — can come in easily. NEVER park in a garage with the engine running. Another closed-in place can be a blizzard. See Winter Driving on page 4-24. 2-36 Mirror Operation O (On/Off): Press the on/off button, located on the lower left side of the mirror face, to turn the automatic dimming feature on or off. The indicator light will be illuminated when the automatic dimming feature is on. Cleaning the Mirror When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing. Mirrors Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar® Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview mirror with OnStar® system controls. For more information about OnStar®, see OnStar® System on page 2-42. When the automatic dimming feature is turned on, the mirror automatically changes to reduce glare from headlamps behind you. A photocell on the mirror senses when it is becoming dark outside. Another photocell built into the mirror face senses when headlamps are behind you. At night, when the glare is too bright, the mirror will gradually darken to reduce glare. This change may take a few seconds. The mirror will return to its clear, daytime state when the glare is reduced. 2-37 Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar® and Compass Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming rearview mirror with a compass display. The mirror also contains OnStar® controls. For more information see OnStar® System on page 2-42. The automatic dimming feature functions the same as that of the automatic dimming rearview mirror without a compass. See Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar® on page 2-37. The mirror also includes an eight-point compass display in the upper right corner of the mirror face. When on, the compass automatically calibrates as the vehicle is driven. Mirror Operation O(On/Off): Press and hold the button, located on the lower left side of the mirror face, for about three seconds to turn the automatic dimming feature on or off. The indicator light will illuminate when this feature is active. The automatic dimming feature is active each time the vehicle is started. Compass Operation Press the on/off button once to turn the compass on or off. When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the compass will show two character boxes for about two seconds. After two seconds, the mirror will display the compass heading. Compass Calibration If after two seconds, the display does not show a compass heading (for example, N for North), there may be a strong magnetic ﬁeld interfering with the compass. Such interference may be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar magnetic item. If the letter C should ever appear in the compass window, the compass may need calibration. The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction. The compass can be placed in calibration mode manually by pressing and holding the on/off button until a C is shown in the compass display. 2-38 Compass Variance The zone is set to zone eight upon leaving the factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass to compensate for compass variance if you live outside zone eight. Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is the difference between earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north. If not adjusted to account for compass variance, your compass could give false readings. To adjust for compass variance do the following: 1. Find the current location and variance zone number on the following zone map. 2. Press and hold the on/off button until a zone number appears in the display. 3. Once the zone number appears in the display, press the on/off button quickly until the correct zone number appears in the display. Stop pressing the button and the mirror will return to normal operation. If C appears in the compass window, the compass may need calibration. See Compass Calibration listed previously. 2-39 Cleaning the Mirror When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing. Outside Power Mirrors The control on the driver’s door armrest operates both outside rearview mirrors. Press (R) on the selector switch to choose the right mirror or (L) to choose the left mirror. The center position is off and will not allow the mirrors to move if the control pad is touched. 2-40 To adjust a mirror, press the arrows on the control pad to move the mirror in the direction you want the mirror to go. Adjust each mirror so you can see the side of your vehicle and the area behind your vehicle. The mirrors can be manually folded inward to prevent damage when going through an automatic car wash. To fold, push the mirror toward the vehicle. To return the mirror to its original position, push outward. Be sure to return both mirrors to their original unfolded positions before driving. The mirrors can also be programmed for personalization and parallel parking feature if you have the optional memory package. For more information, see Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-52 and DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-63. Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, the driver’s side mirror will adjust for the glare of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by the on and off settings on the automatic dimming rearview mirror. See Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with OnStar® on page 2-37. Outside Curb View Assist Mirror If your vehicle is equipped with memory mirrors, it will also be capable of performing the curb view assist mirror feature. This feature will allow the passenger’s side mirror to tilt to a factory programmed position when the vehicle is in REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in allowing you to view the curb when you are parallel parking. When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) and a ﬁve-second delay has occurred, the passenger’s side mirror will return to its original position. If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted, the mirror switch may be used. This feature can be enabled/disabled through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-63 for more information. Outside Convex Mirror Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so you can see more from the driver’s seat. This mirror does not have a dimming feature. {CAUTION: A convex mirror can make things (like other vehicles) look farther away than they really are. If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes. Outside Heated Mirrors When you operate the rear window defogger, it also warms both outside mirrors to help clear them of fog or ice. See Dual Climate Control System on page 3-28 for more information. 2-41 OnStar® System OnStar® uses global positioning system (GPS) satellite technology, wireless communications, and call centers to provide you with a wide range of safety, security, information and convenience services.

HomeLink®, a combined universal transmitter and receiver, provides a way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems and home lighting. Additional HomeLink® information can be found on the internet at www.homelink.com or by calling 1−800−335−3515. 2-44 If your vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink® Transmitter, it complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Changes and modiﬁcations to this system by other than an authorized service facility could void authorization to use this equipment. Programming the HomeLink® Transmitter Do not use the HomeLink® Transmitter with any garage door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse” feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. If you have a newer garage door opener with rolling codes, please be sure to follow steps 6 through 8 to complete the programming of your HomeLink® Transmitter. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the HomeLink® Transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in programming the transmitter. Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink® programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® buttons should be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink® Buttons” or, for assistance, contact HomeLink® on the internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515. 2-45 Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate operator you are programming. When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. It is recommended that a new battery be installed in your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more accurate transmission of the radio frequency. Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons, releasing only when the indicator light begins to ﬂash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program a second and/or third transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink® buttons. 2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® buttons while keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired button on HomeLink® and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until Step 4 has been completed. Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian Programming” later in this section. 2-46 4. The indicator light will ﬂash slowly at ﬁrst and then rapidly after HomeLink® successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons. 5. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed and released. To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, begin with Step 2 under “Programming HomeLink®.” Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of the programmed channels. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with Steps 6 through 8 following to complete the programming of a rolling-code equipped device (most commonly, a garage door opener). 6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. 7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8. 8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button for two seconds, then release. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time, and depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming. HomeLink® should now activate your rolling-code equipped device. To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming HomeLink®.” Do not repeat Step 1. Gate Operator and Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time out” or quit after several seconds of transmission. This may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal during programming. Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured to “time out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty programming a gate operator by using the “Programming HomeLink®” procedures (regardless of where you live), replace Step 3 under “Programming HomeLink®” with the following: Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® button while you press and release every two seconds (cycle) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been successfully accepted by HomeLink®. The indicator light will ﬂash slowly at ﬁrst and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink®” to complete. 2-47 Using HomeLink® Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink® button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Erasing HomeLink® Buttons To erase programming from the three buttons do the following: 1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to ﬂash, after 20 seconds. 2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 30 seconds. HomeLink® is now in the train (learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2 under “Programming HomeLink®.” Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single HomeLink® Button” next. 2-48 Reprogramming a Single HomeLink® Button To program a device to HomeLink® using a HomeLink® button previously trained, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to ﬂash after 20 seconds.

Press the button again to turn the ﬂashers off. When the hazard warning ﬂashers are on, the turn signals will not work. Your hazard warning ﬂashers let you warn others. They also let police know you have a problem. Your front and rear turn signal lamps will ﬂash on and off. 3-6 Other Warning Devices If you carry reﬂective triangles, you can set one up at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle. Horn The horn can be sounded by pressing on the center of the steering wheel pad. Tilt Wheel A tilt wheel allows you to adjust the steering wheel before you drive. You can raise the steering wheel to the highest level to give your legs more room when you enter and exit the vehicle. The lever that allows you to tilt the steering wheel is located on the left side of the steering column. To tilt the wheel, hold the wheel and pull the lever. Then move the wheel to a comfortable position and release the lever to lock the wheel in place. 3-7 Power Tilt Wheel and Telescopic Steering Column If your vehicle has this feature, the power tilt wheel control is located on the outboard side of the steering column. If the power tilt control is pressed up or down and held in that position, there will be a slight movement and a slight pause followed by a continuous movement in the direction the control is being pressed. This allows very ﬁne control of the steering wheel position. If the control is bumped, the steering wheel moves approximately one degree in the direction commanded. Push the control forward and the steering wheel moves toward the front of the vehicle. Push the control rearward and the steering wheel moves toward the rear of the vehicle. To set the memory position, see DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-63 and Memory Seat, Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-52. To operate the power tilt feature, push the control up and the steering wheel will tilt up. Push the control down and the steering wheel will go down. 3-8 Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever The lever located on the left side of the steering column includes the following: • Turn and Lane Change Signals • Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer • Flash-To-Pass For information on the exterior lamps, see Exterior Lamps on page 3-16. Turn and Lane-Change Signals To signal a turn, move the lever on the left side of the steering wheel all the way up or down. The lever returns automatically when the turn is complete. An arrow located on the instrument panel cluster will ﬂash in the direction of the turn or lane change. Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ﬂash to signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane change is complete. The lever returns when it is released. If the turn signal is left on, a warning chime will sound and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will display TURN SIGNAL ON after driving about a mile to remind you to turn it off. Arrows that ﬂash rapidly when signaling for a turn or lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb. Other drivers will not see the turn signal. Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs if the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-97. 3-9 Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer When the low-beam headlamps are on, push the turn signal lever away from you to change the headlamps to high beam. This light on the instrument panel cluster will be on, indicating high-beam usage. Pull the turn signal lever toward you to return to low-beam headlamps. Flash-To-Pass This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps to signal the driver in front of you that you want to pass. Pull the turn signal lever toward you brieﬂy to ﬂash-to-pass. When you do, the following will occur: • If the headlamps are either off or in the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) mode, the high-beam headlamps will turn on. They will stay on as long as you hold the lever there. Release the lever to turn them off. • If the headlamps are on low beam, they will remain active and the high beam will also illuminate until you release the lever. 3-10 Windshield Wipers You can control the windshield wipers by moving the lever with the wiper symbol on it. This lever is located on the right side of your steering column. For information on wiper-activated headlamp operation, refer to Exterior Lamps on page 3-16. The following is a list of the available settings: LO or HI: Move the lever up to LO for steady wiping at a slow speed. Move the lever higher to HI for steady wiping at a high speed. INT (Delay): Move the lever up to the INT position, then turn the INT ADJ band, which is located on the lever, to adjust the delay time. The higher you turn the INT ADJ band, the more frequently the wipers will operate. OFF: Lower the lever to its resting position (OFF) to turn off the wipers. MIST: Pull the lever down once and release it for a single wipe cycle. For more cycles, hold the lever down in the MIST position longer. To wash the windshield, press the button located at the tip of the lever. Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. Your vehicle is equipped with wiper-activated headlamps. After the windshield wipers have been on for approximately six seconds, the headlamps will automatically turn on. See Wiper Activated Headlamps under Exterior Lamps on page 3-16 for more information. 3-11 Rainsense™ II Wipers Your vehicle may be equipped with Rainsense™ II wipers. The moisture sensor for this feature is mounted on the interior side of the windshield below the rearview mirror and is used to automatically operate the wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the windshield depending on driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more frequently. The Rainsense™ wipers operate in a delay mode as well as a continuous low or high speed as needed. If the system is left on for long periods of time, occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on the windshield. This is normal and indicates that the Rainsense™ system is activated. The Rainsense™ system can be activated by moving the wiper stalk up to the INT position and turning the INT ADJ band to one of the ﬁve sensitivity levels. The bottom INT ADJ position is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows more rain or snow to collect on the windshield between wipes. Turning the INT ADJ band away from you to the higher sensitivity levels allows less rain or snow to collect on the windshield between wipes. The top position is the highest sensitivity setting, level ﬁve. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the INT ADJ band to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that the sensitivity level has been increased. Notice: Going through an automatic car wash with the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers off when going through an automatic car wash. The MIST and “wash” cycles operate as normal and are not affected by the Rainsense™ function. The Rainsense™ system can be overridden at any time by manually changing the wiper control to LO or HI speed. While Rainsense™ is active, the headlamps will turn on automatically. The headlamps will turn off again once the wipers turn off if it is light enough outside. If it is dark, they will remain on. See “Wiper-Activated Headlamps” under Exterior Lamps on page 3-16 for more information. Notice: Do not place stickers or other items on the exterior glass surface directly in front of the moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the moisture sensor to malfunction. 3-12 Windshield Washer The windshield washer has both a “demand” mode and a “programmed” mode, depending on the amount of windshield washer ﬂuid you need. {CAUTION: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer ﬂuid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. To spray washer ﬂuid on the windshield in the programmed mode, press and release the button on the tip of the lever. The washer will provide a measured amount of ﬂuid to the windshield and the wiper will either stop or return to your original wiping speed. To spray washer ﬂuid on the windshield in the demand mode, press and hold the button until you have enough ﬂuid, and the wipers will either stop or return to your original wiping speed. CHECK WASHER FLUID will be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the washer ﬂuid reaches a low level. Cruise Control With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). When cruise control is on, you will see a CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster. When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off. {CAUTION: Cruise control can be dangerous where you can not drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use your cruise control on winding roads or in heavy traffic. Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel spinning, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-8. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control back on. 3-13 Setting Cruise Control {CAUTION: If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control. 3-14 The buttons to operate cruise control are located on the steering wheel. 1. Press CRUISE ON/OFF, located on the bottom left of the steering wheel, to turn cruise control on. An indicator light will come on to show that the cruise control is on. 2. Get up to the speed you want. 3. Press SET/CST (coast) located on the bottom right of the steering wheel. The CRUISE light will display on the instrument panel cluster. 4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This shuts off the cruise control. But you do not need to reset it. Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can press RES/ACC (resume/accelerate) to return to your desired preset speed. The CRUISE light will be displayed again. The vehicle will return to and stay at your preset speed. If you press and hold RES/ACC, the vehicle speed will increase until you release the button or apply the brake. Unless you want to go faster, do not press and hold RES/ACC. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: • Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press SET/CST, then release it and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. • Press RES/ACC. Hold it there until you get up to the speed that you want, and then release it. To increase your speed in very small amounts, brieﬂy press RES/ACC and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will speed up approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. The accelerate feature will only work after you have set the cruise control speed by pressing SET/CST. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control: • Press SET/CST until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it. • To slow down in very small amounts, press SET/CST brieﬂy. Each time you do this, the vehicle will slow down approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h). 3-15 Exterior Lamps The control located on the left side of the instrument panel operates the exterior lamps. O(Exterior Lamp Control): Turn the control with this symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps. The exterior lamp control has three positions: 9 (Off): Turn the control to this position to turn off all lamps except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier. Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you out of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise control feature. Ending Cruise Control To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the brake pedal or press CRUISE ON/OFF on the steering wheel. Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased. 3-16 ; (Parking Lamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the parking lamps together with the following: • Sidemarker Lamps • Taillamps • License Plate Lamps • Instrument Panel Lights The parking brake indicator light will come on and stay on while the parking lamps are on with the engine off and the ignition in ACC or ON. 2 (Headlamps): Turn the control to this position to turn on the headlamps, together with the previously listed lamps and lights. Your vehicle may be equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps. These headlamps come on at a lower intensity and gradually increase to full brightness. Wiper-Activated Headlamps This feature activates the headlamps and parking lamps after the windshield wipers have been in use for about six seconds. To operate, the Twilight Sentinel® feature must be turned on. When the exterior lamp control is in the off or parking lamp position and the wiper control is on INT, LO or HI, the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC). When the ignition is turned to OFF, the wiper-activated headlamps will immediately turn off. The wiper-activated headlamps will also turn off if the Twilight Sentinel® or the windshield wipers are turned off. Lamps On Reminder A warning chime will sound if the exterior lamp control is left on in either the headlamp or parking lamp position and the driver’s door is opened with the ignition off. 3-17 When the Twilight Sentinel® lever is on and it is bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and the high-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will take over. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system will come on immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness knob is in the full bright position. See “Instrument Panel Brightness” under Interior Lamps on page 3-22. If it is dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel® lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will display on the Driver’s Information Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended even though the DRL are still illuminated. Turning on the Twilight Sentinel® or the headlamps will deactivate the DRL and remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. If the parking lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL will still deactivate and the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will continue to be displayed. Daytime Running Lamps Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada. The DRL system will make the high-beam headlamps come on at reduced brightness when the following conditions are met: • It is still daylight and the ignition is on, • the exterior lamp control is in the off position and • the transaxle is not in PARK (P). When DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps (at reduced brightness) will be on. No other exterior lamps such as the parking lamps, taillamps, etc. will be on when the DRL are being used. Your instrument panel will not be lit up either. When the Twilight Sentinel® lever is on and it is dark enough outside, the high-beam headlamps (at reduced intensity) will turn off and normal low-beam headlamp operation will occur. 3-18 To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off the Twilight Sentinel® and shift the transaxle into PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL. The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P). To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the Twilight Sentinel® and manually turn on the parking lamps or fog lamps. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. Fog Lamps Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions. - (Fog Lamps): Press the button with this symbol on it, located next to the exterior lamp control, to turn the fog lamps on. When the ignition is on and you press the fog lamp button, a small indicator light in the fog lamp button, the LIGHTS ON and fog lamp indicator lights on the instrument panel cluster will come on to indicate that the fog and the parking lamps are on. Press the fog lamp button again to turn off the fog lamps. If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps will turn off. They will turn back on again when you switch to low-beam headlamps. When the Twilight Sentinel® is on and the fog lamps are turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking lamps will remain on. The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate. Cornering Lamps The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or parking lamps are on and you signal a turn with the multifunction lever. They provide more light for cornering. 3-19 Twilight Sentinel® This lever is located below the exterior lamps control. It automatically turns the lamps on and off by sensing how dark it is outside. To operate the Twilight Sentinel®, leave the exterior lamps control off and slide the TWILIGHT lever to any position but OFF. If you move the lever all the way to the right, the lamps will remain on for approximately three minutes after the ignition has been turned to OFF. If you move the lever so it is barely on, the lamps will go off quickly when you turn the ignition switch out of OFF. You can adjust the delay time from only a few seconds to about three minutes. If it is dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel® lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). This message informs the driver that turning on the exterior lamps is recommended (it has become dark enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps). Turning on the Twilight Sentinel® or turning the exterior lamp control to the headlamp position will remove the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. 3-20 Light Sensor Exterior Lighting Battery Saver If the manual parking lamps or headlamps have been left on, the exterior lamps will turn off approximately ten minutes after the ignition is turned to OFF. This protects against draining the battery in case you have accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on. The battery saver does not work if the headlamps are turned on after the ignition switch is turned to OFF. If you need to leave the lamps on for more than 10 minutes, use the exterior lamp control to turn the lamps back on. To delay the lamps from turning off, see Twilight Sentinel® listed previously in this section. The light sensor for the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the Twilight Sentinel® is located on the driver’s side of the front defogger grille. If you cover the sensor, it will read “dark” and the exterior lamps or the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will be on whenever the ignition is on. 3-21 Interior Lamps Instrument Panel Brightness This feature controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights. The knob for this feature is located to the right of the Twilight Sentinel® lever. Interior Lamps Control The interior lamp lever, located in the overhead console, has three positions: OFF, AUTO and ON. When the interior lamp lever is in OFF, the lamps are turned off. Only the driver’s door controls and ignition switch backlighting functions will operate. If the lever is in AUTO and a front door is opened, the overhead console light, front hush panel lamps and rear footwell lamps in the door will automatically come on. When the rear door is opened, all the front door lighting and rear overhead lamps will come on. When the lever is in ON, the courtesy lamps are turned on. Also, all automatic interior lighting functions are terminated. Press the knob to release it to the outward position. Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights and counterclockwise to dim them. Press the knob to return it to the original storage position. 3-22 Entry Lighting The entry lighting system automatically turns on the courtesy lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to the exterior lamp control when a door is opened or if you press the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock button. If activated due to the transmitter, the lighting will remain active for about 40 seconds. Since the entry lighting system uses the light sensor, it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy lamps to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off approximately 25 seconds after the last door is closed. They will dim to off if the ignition key is placed in ON, or immediately deactivate if the power locks are activated. Parade Dimming This feature prohibits dimming of the digital displays and backlighting during daylight hours when the key is in the ignition and the headlamps are on. This feature operates with the light sensor for the Twilight Sentinel® and is fully automatic. When the light sensor reads darkness outside and the parking lamps are active, the digital displays can be adjusted by turning the instrument panel brightness knob counterclockwise to dim and clockwise to brighten lighting. Reading Lamps The front reading lamps are located in the overhead console. These lamps and the interior courtesy lamps come on when a door is opened and it is dark outside. The rear reading lamps will not come on when a front door is opened. The rear courtesy lamps are located on the rear headliner above the rear seat outboard positions. When a rear door is opened, both the front and rear reading lamps come on with the courtesy lamps. Press the button near each lamp to turn it on and off. If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off. Battery Load Management The battery load management feature is designed to monitor the vehicle’s electrical load and determine when the battery is in a heavy discharge condition. During times of high electrical loading, the engine may idle at a higher revolutions per minute (rpm) setting than normal to make sure the battery charges. High electrical loads may occur when several of the following are on: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, the climate control fan at high speeds, heated seats and engine cooling fans. 3-23 If the battery continues to discharge, even with the engine idling at a higher rpm setting, some electrical loads will automatically be reduced. When this occurs, the rear window defogger may take slightly longer to clear the glass, the heated seats may not get as warm as they usually do and the fan may cut back to a lower speed. For more battery saving information, see “Battery Saver Active Message” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-55. Inadvertent Power Battery Saver This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp, glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door opener. When the ignition is turned off, the power to these features will automatically turn off after 10 minutes (three minutes if a new car has 15 miles (24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door is opened, the trunk is opened or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on. Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) Your vehicle may be equipped with Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA). URPA is designed to help you park while in REVERSE (R) and operates only at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). URPA can help you avoid colliding with objects such as parked vehicles. The system can detect objects 5 feet (1.5 m) behind your vehicle and tell you how close those objects are to your rear bumper. {CAUTION: Even with the Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist system, the driver must check carefully before backing up. The system does not operate above typical backing speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) while parking. And, the system does not detect objects that are more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) behind the vehicle. CAUTION: (Continued) 3-24 CAUTION: (Continued) So, unless you check carefully behind you before and when you back up, you could strike children, pedestrians, bicyclists or pets behind you, and they could be injured or killed. Whether or not you are using Rear Park Assist, always check carefully behind your vehicle before you back up and then watch closely as you do. The URPA display is located inside the vehicle, above the rear window. It has three color-coded lights that can be seen through the rearview mirror or by turning around. How the System Works URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is moved into REVERSE (R). When the system comes on, the three lights on the display will brieﬂy illuminate to let you know that the system is working. If your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), the red light will ﬂash to remind you the system does not work at this speed. The ﬁrst time an object is detected while in REVERSE (R), a chime will sound and the following will occur in sequence, depending on the distance from the object: • At 5 feet (1.5 m) a chime will sound and one amber light will be lit; • at 40 inches (1.0 m) both amber lights will be lit; • at 20 inches (0.5 m) a continuous chime will sound and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will be lit; and • at 1 foot (0.3 m) a continuous chime will sound and all three lights (amber/amber/red) will ﬂash. URPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider, and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) tall, but it cannot detect objects that are above trunk level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize an object, it must be within operating range. 3-25 If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the display will ﬂash red, indicating that there is a problem. The light will also ﬂash red while driving if a trailer is attached to your vehicle, or a bicycle or object is on the back of, or hanging out of your trunk. The light will continue to ﬂash until the trailer or the object is removed and your vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h). It may also ﬂash red if the ultrasonic sensors are not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush or materials such as paint or the system may not work properly. If after cleaning the rear bumper and driving forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to ﬂash red, see your dealer. For cleaning instructions, see Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle on page 5-90. It may also ﬂash red if your vehicle is moving in REVERSE (R) at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h). Other conditions that may affect system performance include things like the vibrations from a jackhammer or the compression of air brakes on a very large truck. As always, drivers should use care when backing up a vehicle. Always look behind you, being sure to check for other vehicles, obstructions and blind spots. Accessory Power Outlets Your vehicle is equipped with accessory power outlets. The outlets can be used to plug in electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc. The accessory power outlets are located at the rear of the center console and on the lower inboard carpeted panel on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. Your vehicle may have a small cap that must be removed to access the accessory power outlet. If it does, when not using the outlet be sure to cover it with the protective cap. The accessory power outlet will only operate when the ignition is in ACC or ON and for 10 minutes after turning the ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory power outlet to operate regardless of ignition position, and for extended periods of time, see your dealer for more information. Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn off electrical equipment when not in use and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the maximum amperage rating. Certain accessory power plugs may not be compatible to the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a problem see your dealer for additional information on the accessory power plugs. 3-26 Notice: Adding any electrical equipment to your vehicle may damage it or keep other components from working as they should. The repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment. Follow the proper installation instructions that are included with any electrical equipment you install. Notice: damage not covered by your warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug because the power outlets are designed for accessory power plugs only. Improper use of the power outlet can cause Ashtrays and Cigarette Lighter The ashtrays and cigarette lighters may be ordered through your dealer. Notice: in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never put ﬂammable items in the ashtray. If you put papers or other ﬂammable items Front Ashtray The front ashtray is located below the climate control system on the instrument panel. Press on the lower edge of the cover to access the ashtray. To clean the ashtray, lift it out by pulling on the snuffer. Rear Ashtray The ashtrays are located on the door armrests. To use an ashtray, lift the lid. Cigarette Lighter Notice: Holding a cigarette lighter in while it is heating will not allow the lighter to back away from the heating element when it is hot. Damage from overheating may occur to the lighter or heating element, or a fuse could be blown. Do not hold a cigarette lighter in while it is heating. The front cigarette lighter is located on the center console in the passenger’s side footwell. Open the ﬂip out door to access the cigarette lighter. Your vehicle may also have a lighter on the back of the center console near the rear seat air outlet. Press the lighter all the way in and release it. It will pop back out by itself once the element has heated for use. Cigarette lighters can be used to provide electrical power to accessories. See Accessory Power Outlets on page 3-26 for more information. 3-27 Climate Controls Automatic Operation Dual Climate Control System With this system you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation for your vehicle. 3-28 AUTO (Automatic): When this button is pressed and the temperature is set, the system will automatically control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode and the fan speed. AUTO will appear on the display. 1. Press the AUTO button. 2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C). Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. If you set the system at the warmest temperature setting, the system will remain in manual mode at that temperature and it will not go into automatic mode. In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your vehicle until warmer air is available. The system will start out blowing air at the ﬂoor but may change modes automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen temperature setting. The length of time needed for warm up will depend on the outside temperature and the length of time that has elapsed since your vehicle was last driven. 3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature, if necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more information on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section. When your vehicle is ﬁrst started, the display will show the driver’s temperature setting, the fan speed and the air delivery mode. When the ENG/MET (English/metric) button on the Driver Information Center (DIC) is pressed, the display will show readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Use the ENG/MET button to toggle between them. Manual Operation SMODE T: Pressing the MODE switch and changing the mode cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. To change the current mode, select one of the following: G (Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel outlets. + (Bi-Level): This mode directs approximately half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, and then directs most of the remaining air to the ﬂoor outlets. Some air may be directed toward the windshield. In automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the ﬂoor outlets. 8 (Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the ﬂoor outlets with some air directed to the outboard outlets (for the side windows) a little air directed to the windshield. The MODE switch can also be used to select the ﬂoor/defog mode. Information on defogging and defrosting can be found later in this section. y9z (Fan): Press this switch to increase or decrease the fan speed. Pressing this switch cancels automatic operation and places the system in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to automatic operation. If the airﬂow seems low when the fan speed is at the highest setting, the passenger compartment air ﬁlter may need to be replaced. For more information, see Passenger Compartment Air Filter on page 3-35 and Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4. 3-29 ? (Recirculation): This mode keeps outside air from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Press this button to turn the recirculation mode on or off. When the button is pressed, an indicator light will come on. The air-conditioning compressor also comes on. TEMP (Driver’s Temperature Knob): Press this knob to turn the climate control system on or off. Turn this knob clockwise or counterclockwise to manually increase or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle. TEMP (Passenger’s Temperature Knob): Press this knob to turn the passengers’ climate control system controls on or off. Turn this knob to manually increase or decrease the temperature for the front passenger. If the passenger’s climate controls are turned off, the driver’s temperature knob will control the temperature for the entire vehicle. A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to override the automatic system and turn the air-conditioning system on or off. When in AUTO the air-conditioning compressor will come on automatically, as necessary. On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently. For quick cool down on hot days: 1. Select the vent mode. 2. Select the recirculation mode. 3. Select A/C. 4. Select the coolest temperature. 5. Select the highest fan speed. 6. Open all outlets. Using these settings together for long periods of time may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. If your vehicle has the memory option, it can be used to recall your climate control settings. For more information, see Climate Controls Personalization on page 3-36. 3-30 Sensors The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar radiation inside your vehicle, then uses the information to maintain the selected temperature by initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery system. The system may also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the middle of the instrument panel, near the windshield or the system will not work properly. There is also an outside temperature sensor located under the front bumper and an inside temperature sensor located to the left of the ignition switch. These sensors read the outside and inside air temperature and help to maintain the selected temperature inside the vehicle. If you cover these sensors, it could cause a false reading in the temperature. 3-31 Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly. There are two modes to clear fog from your windshield. Use the ﬂoor/defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode (FRONT) to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. SMODE T: Press this switch until ﬂoor/defog appears on the display. / (Floor/Defog): This mode directs the air equally between the windshield and the ﬂoor outlets. When you select this mode, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the ﬂoor/defog mode. 1 FRONT (Defrost): Pressing FRONT directs most of the air to the windshield and the side window outlets, with some air directed to the ﬂoor outlets. In this mode, the system will automatically turn off recirculation and run the air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannot be selected while in the defrost mode. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 3-32 Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window. The rear window defogger will only work when the ignition is in ON. = REAR: Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window as possible. The rear window defogger will turn off approximately 10 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned on again, the defogger will only run for approximately ﬁve minutes before turning off. The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the button again or by turning off the engine. The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to help clear fog or frost from the surface of the mirror when the REAR button is pressed. Notice: Using a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window may damage the rear window defogger. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not clear the inside of the rear window with sharp objects. Outlet Adjustment Use the levers located in the center of each outlet to change the direction of the airﬂow. Use the thumbwheels to open or close the outlets. Operation Tips • Clear away any ice, snow or leaves from the air
