The compass may need calibration if one of the following occurs: (cid:127) (cid:127) After approximately ﬁve seconds, the display If CAL is displayed while driving in the vehicle. does not show a compass heading (N for North, for example), 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. (cid:127) The compass does not display the correct heading and the compass zone variance is set correctly. In order to calibrate, CAL must be displayed in the mirror compass windows. If CAL is not displayed, press and hold the COMP button until CAL is displayed. The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction. 142 Passenger Airbag Indicator The mirror may be equipped with a passenger airbag indicator on the mirror glass, just above the buttons. If the vehicle has this feature the mirror will display the word ON, or an airbag symbol in Canada, when the passenger airbag is enabled. For more information see Passenger Sensing System on page 82. 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. 143 3. Press the COMP button on the bottom of the mirror until the new zone number appears in the display. After you stop pressing the button, the display will show a compass direction within a few seconds. 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 position before driving. Outside Curb View Assist Mirror If the vehicle has this feature, the passenger’s outside mirror will adjust to a preset tilt position while the vehicle is in REVERSE (R) gear. Curb view assist may be useful when you are parallel parking. The mirror will return to normal position when the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R) gear. Automatic mirror movement in either direction will follow a short delay. You may be able to turn this feature on or off through the Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Vehicle Customization on page 229. Outside Manual Mirrors If the vehicle has the manual outside mirrors, adjust each outside mirror so that a little of the vehicle and the area behind it can be seen while sitting in a comfortable, driving position. Both mirrors can be manually folded inward by pulling them towards the vehicle. Push the mirrors away from the vehicle, to the normal position, before driving. Outside Power Mirrors Your vehicle may have this feature. The power mirror control is located on the driver’s door. Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise to adjust the driver’s or passenger’s mirror so that you can see a little of the side of your vehicle. After adjusting the position of the mirrors, turn the knob to the center position so that the mirrors cannot move. If the travel position in any direction of the mirror is reached, it will enter a ratcheting mode. This action is harmless. It is a warning that the mirror can go no further. To stop this action, back the mirror up by moving the knob in the opposite direction. 144 Outside Convex Mirror OnStar® System {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 or left lane, you could hit a vehicle. Check your inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes. The passenger’s outside mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s surface is curved so more can be seen from the driver’s seat. Outside Heated Mirrors Your vehicle may have this feature. When you operate the rear window defogger, the defogger also warms the heated driver’s and passenger’s outside rearview mirrors to help clear them of ice, snow and condensation.

How OnStar® Service Works In order to provide you with OnStar® services, your vehicle’s OnStar® system has the capability of recording and transmitting vehicle information. This information is automatically sent to an OnStar® Call Center at the time of an OnStar® button press, Emergency button press or if your airbags or AACN system deploys. The vehicle information usually includes your GPS location and, in the event of a crash, additional information regarding the accident that your vehicle has been involved in (e.g. the direction from which your vehicle was hit). When you use the Virtual Advisor feature of OnStar® Hands-Free Calling, your vehicle also sends OnStar® your GPS location so that we can provide you with location-based services. 148 OnStar® service cannot work unless your vehicle is in a place where OnStar® has an agreement with a wireless service provider for service in that area. OnStar® service also cannot work unless you are in a place where the wireless service provider OnStar® has hired for that area has coverage, network capacity and reception when the service is needed, and technology that is compatible with the OnStar® service. Not all services are available everywhere, particularly in remote or enclosed areas, or at all times. OnStar® service that involves location information about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS satellite signals are unobstructed and available in that place as well. Your vehicle must have a working electrical system (including adequate battery power) for the OnStar® equipment to operate. There are other problems OnStar® cannot control that may prevent OnStar® from providing OnStar® service to you at any particular time or place. Some examples are damage to important parts of your vehicle in an accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather or wireless phone network congestion. Your Responsibility You may need to increase the volume of your radio to hear the OnStar® advisor. If the light next to the OnStar® buttons is red, this means that your system is not functioning properly and should be checked by a dealer. If the light appears clear (no light is appearing), your OnStar® subscription has expired. You can always press the blue OnStar® button to conﬁrm that your OnStar® equipment is active.

Universal Home Remote System Operation (With Three Round LED) Your vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote System. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode (LED) above the Universal Home Remote System buttons, follow the instructions below. If there is one triangular LED above the Universal Home Remote System buttons, follow the instructions under Universal Home Remote System Operation (with one triangular LED). This system provides a way to replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and home lighting. Do not use the this system 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. 151 Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in programming the transmitter. Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future programming. You only need the original remote control transmitter for ﬁxed code programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed buttons should be erased for security purposes. See “Erasing your Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or security device you are programming. When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. 152 If you do not know if your garage door opener is a ﬁxed code or rolling code device, open your garage door opener’s remote control battery cover. Your garage door opener is a ﬁxed code device if there is a panel of switches. If not, your garage door opener is a rolling code device. Programming Universal Home Remote — Fixed Code Fixed Code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced prior to 1996. Fixed code uses the same coded signal every time, which is manually programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code. Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Remove the battery cover of the hand-held transmitter. 2. Write down the eight to 12 coding switch settings from left to right. When the switch is in the up position, write “on,” and when a switch is in the down position, write “off”. If a switch is set between the up and down position, write “middle”. 3. Enter these positions into the Universal Home Remote System as follows. Press and release all three buttons at the same time to put the device into programming mode. Example of Switch Settings Example 153 4. The indicator light will blink slowly. In order from left to right, and within two and one-half minutes, enter each switch setting into the Universal Home Remote System. Push one button for each switch as follows: (cid:127) Left button = “on” switch position. (cid:127) Right button = “off” switch position. (cid:127) Middle button = “middle” switch position. 5. After entering the switch settings, press and release all three buttons at the same time. The indicator lights will turn on. 6. Press and hold the button you would like to use to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light above the selected button should slowly blink. You may need to hold the button from ﬁve to 55 seconds. 7. Immediately release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete. 154 8. Press and release the button again. The garage door should move, conﬁrming that programming is successful and complete. To program another device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 8, choosing a different function button in Step 7 than what you used for the garage door opener. Programming Universal Home Remote — Rolling Code Rolling code garage door openers are used for garage doors produced after 1996 and are code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every time your remote control garage door opener is used. Programming a rolling code garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before you begin. If you do not follow these actions, the device will time out and you will have to repeat the procedure. Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press the two outside buttons at the same time for one to two seconds, and immediately release them. 2. Go to the garage. Locate the garage door motor head and press and release the “learn” button. After pressing the “learn” button, you have 10 to 30 seconds to complete Step 4 depending on your garage control unit. If you cannot locate the “learn” button, refer to the owners guide for your garage door opener. 3. Press and hold the button you would like to use to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light, above the selected button, should slowly blink. You may need to hold the button from ﬁve to 20 seconds. 4. Immediately release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete. 5. Press and release the button again. The garage door should move, conﬁrming that programming is successful and complete. To program another device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 6, choosing a different function button in Step 4 than what you used for the garage door opener. Using Universal Home Remote Press and hold the appropriate button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. 155 Reprogramming Universal Home Remote Buttons You can reprogram any of the three buttons by repeating the instructions. Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons You should erase the programmed buttons when you sell the vehicle or terminate your lease. To erase either rolling code or ﬁxed code on the Universal Home Remote device, do the following: 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons at the same time for approximately 20 seconds, until the indicator lights, located directly above the buttons, begin to blink rapidly. 2. Once the indicator lights begin to blink, release both buttons. The codes from all button will be erased. For additional information on Universal Home Remote, see Customer Assistance Offices on page 530. 156 Universal Home Remote System Operation (With One Triangular LED) Your vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote System. If there is one triangular Light Emitting Diode (LED) above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions below. If your vehicle has three round LED above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions under Universal Home Remote System Operation (with three round LED). Do not use the Universal Home Remote 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 Universal Home Remote Transmitter. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the Universal Home Remote. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in the programming steps. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future Universal Home Remote programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed Universal Home Remote buttons should be erased for security purposes. See “Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section or, for assistance, see Customer Assistance Offices on page 530. 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 signal. Programming Universal Home Remote Follow these steps to program up to three channels: 1. Press and hold down the two outside Universal Home Remote buttons, releasing only when the Universal Home Remote 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 hand-held transmitter to the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons. 2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Universal Home Remote buttons while keeping the indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired Universal Home Remote button 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. 157 4. The indicator light will ﬂash slowly at ﬁrst and then rapidly after Universal Home Remote successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons. 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. 5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal Home Remote button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on continuously, programming is complete and your device should activate when the Universal Home Remote button is pressed and released. To program the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under “Programming Universal Home Remote.” 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 device, most commonly, a garage door opener. 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 Universal Home Remote 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. The Universal Home Remote should now activate the rolling-code device. To program the remaining two Universal Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming Universal Home Remote.” Do not repeat Step 1, as this will erase all previous programming from the Universal Home Remote buttons. 158 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 Universal Home Remote 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 or garage door opener by using the “Programming Universal Home Remote” procedures, regardless of where you live, replace Step 3 under “Programming Universal Home Remote” with the following: Continue to press and hold the Universal Home Remote button while you press and release every two seconds (cycle) the hand-held transmitter button until the frequency signal has been successfully accepted by the Universal Home Remote. The Universal Home Remote indicator light will ﬂash slowly at ﬁrst and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming Universal Home Remote” to complete. Using Universal Home Remote Press and hold the appropriate Universal Home Remote button for at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons To erase programming from the three Universal Home Remote buttons do the following: 1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to ﬂash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold the two outside buttons for longer than 30 seconds. 2. Release both buttons. The Universal Home Remote is now in the training (learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2 under “Programming Universal Home Remote” shown earlier in this section. Individual buttons cannot be erased, but they can be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single Universal Home Remote Button” following this section. 159 Reprogramming a Single Universal Home Remote Button To program a device to Universal Home Remote using a Universal Home Remote button previously trained, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the desired Universal Home Remote button. Do not release the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to ﬂash after 20 seconds.

Your front and rear turn signal lamps will ﬂash on and off. The hazard warning ﬂasher button is located on top of the steering column. The hazard warning ﬂashers work no matter what ignition position the key is in, and even if the key is not in the ignition. Press the button to make the front and rear turn signal lamps ﬂash on and off. Press the button again to turn the ﬂashers off. When the hazard warning ﬂashers are on, your turn signals will not work. Other Warning Devices If you carry reﬂective triangles, you can set them up at the side of the road about 300 feet (100 m) behind your vehicle. Horn To sound the horn, press the horn symbols on the steering wheel pad. 170 Tilt Wheel The steering wheel should be adjusted before you drive. Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever The tilt lever is located to the left of the steering column, under the turn signal lever. It can be raised to the highest level to give your legs more room when you enter and exit the vehicle. To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull the lever toward you. Move the steering wheel to a comfortable level, then release the lever to lock the wheel in place. The lever on the left side of the steering column includes the following: (cid:127) G Turn and Lane Change Signals (cid:127) 23 Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer (cid:127) Flash-to-Pass Feature (cid:127) N Windshield Wipers (cid:127) J Windshield Washer (cid:127) I Cruise Control 171 Turn and Lane-Change Signals The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two downward (for left) positions. These positions let you signal a turn or a lane change. To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is ﬁnished, the lever returns automatically. An arrow on the instrument panel cluster ﬂashes in the direction of the turn or lane change. To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ﬂash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever returns by itself when released. The bottom of the outside rearview mirrors might also have lane change indicators. As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows ﬂash more quickly than normal, a signal bulb could be burned out and other drivers will not see your turn signal. If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you signal a turn, check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 493 and check for burned-out bulbs. If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lamps, a turn signal ﬂasher is used. With this ﬂasher installed, the signal indicator ﬂashes even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they are working. Turn Signal On Chime If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime sounds at each ﬂash of the turn signal. To turn off the chime, move the turn signal lever to the off position. 172 Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer To change the headlamps from low to high beam, push the lever toward the instrument panel. To return to low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever toward you. Then release it. When the high beams are on, this indicator light on the instrument panel cluster will also be on. Flash-to-Pass This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass. It works even if your headlamps are in the automatic position. To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then release it. If the headlamps are in the automatic position or on low beam, the high-beam headlamps turn on. They will stay on as long as you hold the lever toward you. The high-beam indicator on the instrument panel cluster comes on. Release the lever to return to normal operation. Windshield Wipers 8(Mist): Turn the band to mist, for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after one wipe. If more wipes are needed, hold the band on mist longer. 9(Off): Move the band to off, to stop the wipers. 173 N(Windshield Wipers): Turn the band to control the windshield wipers. The wiper speed can be set for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to the top of the lever, the shorter the delay. For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the ﬁrst solid band past the delay settings. For high-speed wiping, turn the band further, to the second solid band past the delay settings. To stop the wipers, move the band to off. 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 worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Windshield Washer L(Windshield Washer): To spray washer ﬂuid on the windshield, press the windshield washer paddle. The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to your preset speed. {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. Rear Window Wiper/Washer {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. 174 Headlamp Washer The rear window/washer control is located to the right of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Your vehicle may have a headlamp washer system. The button to operate this feature is located on the instrument panel and functions separately from your other washer systems. To wash your headlamps, press the headlamp washer button brieﬂy and release to activate the system. 175 To turn the rear wiper on, turn the control to either 1, 2, or 3. For delayed wiping, turn the control to 1 or 2. For steady wiping, turn the control to 3. To turn the wiper off, turn the control to 0. To wash the rear window, press the washer symbol located in the center of the control. The rear window washer uses the ﬂuid from the same reservoir as the windshield washer. However, the rear window washer runs out of ﬂuid before the windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield but not your rear window, check the ﬂuid level. Cruise Control Your vehicle has cruise control. The controls are located on the end of the turn signal/ multifunction lever. 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 can really help on long trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). If you apply the brakes, the cruise control shuts off. {CAUTION: Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot 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 excessive wheel slip, and you could lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads. R(On): Move the switch to this position to turn the cruise control system on. S(Resume/Accelerate): Move the switch to this position to resume a set speed or to accelerate. T(Set): Press this button, located at the end of the lever, to set a speed. 9(Off): Move the switch to this position to turn the cruise control system off and cancel memory of a set speed. 176 {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. Setting Cruise Control 1. Move the cruise control switch to on. 2. Get up to the speed you want. 3. Press the set button at the end of the lever and release it. 4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal will not go down. Some vehicles have a cruise light on the instrument panel cluster that will come on when the cruise control is engaged. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control. But you do not need to reset it. Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch brieﬂy from on to resume/accelerate. You will go right back up to the previously chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, the vehicle keeps going faster until you release the switch or apply the brakes. So unless you want to go faster, do not hold the switch at resume/accelerate. 177 Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed: (cid:127) Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Press the button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed. (cid:127) Move the cruise switch from on to resume/ accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the desired speed and then release the switch. To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch brieﬂy to resume/accelerate. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster. Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control Press in the set button at the end of the lever until you reach the desired speed, then release it. Each time you do this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. 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 set earlier. Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control works on hills depends upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may want 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. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers ﬁnd this to be too much trouble and do not use cruise control on steep hills. Ending Cruise Control There are three ways to turn off the cruise control: (cid:127) Step lightly on the brake pedal. (cid:127) Move the cruise switch to off, or (cid:127) Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N). 178 Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, the cruise control set speed memory is erased. Headlamps The exterior lamps knob is located on your instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. c(Off): Turn the knob to this symbol and release it to turn off the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the Automatic Headlamps (AHS). An indicator illuminates when the position is selected. This position is not available for vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada. i(Automatic DRL/AHS): Turn the knob to this symbol to put the system into automatic headlamp mode. An indicator comes on when the position is selected. ;(Parking Lamps): Turn the knob to this symbol to turn on the parking lamps, as well as the following: (cid:127) Sidemarker Lamps (cid:127) Taillamps (cid:127) License Plate Lamps (cid:127) 2(Headlamps): Turn the knob to this symbol to turn on the headlamps, as well as the following: (cid:127) Parking Lamps (cid:127) Sidemarker Lamps (cid:127) Taillamps (cid:127) License Plate Lamps (cid:127) Instrument Panel Lights Instrument Panel Lights 179 Headlamps on Reminder A reminder tone sounds when the headlamps or parking lamps are manually turned on, if the driver’s door is open and the ignition is in LOCK or ACC. To turn the tone off, turn the knob all the way counterclockwise. In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the ignition key is in LOCK. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) 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 DRL are required on all vehicles ﬁrst sold in Canada. The DRL system makes the headlamps come on at reduced brightness when the following conditions are met: (cid:127) The ignition is on. (cid:127) The exterior lamps knob is in automatic headlamp mode. (cid:127) The light sensor detects daytime light. (cid:127) The transmission is not in PARK (P). When the DRL are on, only the headlamps will be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps will not be on. The instrument panel will not be lit up either. When it begins to get dark, the headlamps automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps. 180 Automatic Headlamp System When it is dark enough outside, the Automatic Headlamp System turns on the headlamps when the vehicle is started and after the transaxle has been shifted out of the PARK (P) position. The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, and parking lamps will come on. The instrument panel lights and radio lights will also turn on at normal brightness. Once on, the system remains on during these conditions even if the vehicle is shifted back into PARK (P). The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered or the system may come on whenever the ignition is on and the vehicle is shifted out of the PARK (P) position. The system could also turn on the lamps when driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast weather or a tunnel. This is normal. There is a delay in the transition between the daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems, so that driving under bridges or bright overhead street lights does not affect the system. The DRL and automatic headlamp system are only affected when the light sensor sees a change in lighting lasting longer than the delay. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on after the transmission is shifted out of PARK (P). Once you leave the garage, it will take about one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the instrument panel cluster might not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright position. If the vehicle is running and the automatic headlamp system is already on, it can be turned off by turning and releasing the headlamp control at the off position. The automatic headlamp system stays off until you turn and release the headlamp control at the off position again. See Headlamps on page 179. 181 Fog Lamps Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty conditions. The ignition must be in RUN for the fog lamps to work. Instrument Panel Brightness Press the knob located next to the exterior lamps knob to extend it. The fog lamp button is located on the instrument panel to the right of the exterior lamps knob. Turn the knob to adjust the instrument panel lights. Turn the knob all the way up to turn on the interior lamps. Press the knob back into its stored position when you are not using it. Dome Lamps The dome lamps will come on when you open a door unless the dome lamp override is pressed in. Press the button to turn the fog lamps on. Press the button again to turn them off. A light glows near the button while the fog lamps are on. Fog lamps turn off whenever the high-beam headlamps are on. Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps. 182 Dome Lamp Override The dome override button is located below the exterior lamps knob. To turn the dome lamps off, press the button. The dome lamps will remain off when a door is open. This will override the illuminated entry feature unless you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to unlock the vehicle. To return the lamps to automatic operation, press the button again. The dome lamps come on when a door is opened. Entry Lighting The vehicle has entry lighting. When any door is opened, the dome lamps come on as long as the dome override lamp override button is not pressed in. When all the doors are closed, the lamps stay on for a short period of time and then turn off automatically. If you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to unlock the vehicle, the interior lamps come on for a short time whether or not the dome lamp override is on. Exit Lighting With exit lighting, the interior lamps come on when you remove the key from the ignition. If the dome override is off, these lamps stay on for a short period of time and then go out. Reading Lamps The reading lamps are located in the front console. Press the lens on the lamps to turn the reading lamps on or off. 183 Electric Power Management This vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM), an advanced control system. It estimates the battery’s temperature and state of charge and then adjusts the voltage for best performance and extended life of the battery. When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage is raised slightly to quickly put the charge back in. When the state of charge is high, the voltage is lowered slightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has a voltmeter gage, you may see the voltage move up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, an alert will be displayed. The battery can be discharged at idle if the electrical loads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This is because the generator (alternator) may not be spinning fast enough at idle to produce all the power that is needed for very high electrical loads. A high electrical load occurs when several of the following loads are on: headlamps, high beams, fog lamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at high speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets. EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of the battery. It does this by balancing the generator’s output and the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase engine idle speed to generate more power, whenever needed. It can temporarily reduce the power demands of some accessories. Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, without being noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels of corrective action, this action may be noticeable to the driver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message might be displayed, such as Battery Saver Active or Battery Voltage Low. If this message is displayed, it is recommended that the driver reduce the electrical loads as much as possible. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 222. 184 Battery Run-Down Protection This feature shuts off the dome, courtesy, and vanity lamps if they are left on for more than 20 minutes when the ignition is off. This will keep the battery from running down. If the battery run-down protection shuts off the interior lamps, it may be necessary to do one of the following to return to normal operation: (cid:127) Shut off all lamps and close all doors. (cid:127) Turn the ignition key to RUN. This feature will also turn off the parking lamps and headlamps under most circumstances, if they are left on. If you would like to turn them back on, turn the exterior lamps knob. Accessory Power Outlet(s) With the accessory power outlets, you can plug in auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular telephone or CB radio. Your vehicle has three accessory power outlets. There are two outlets located below the climate controls and one outlet is on the rear of the center ﬂoor console. Remove the cover from the outlet to use the outlet. Be sure to put the cover back on when not using the accessory power outlet. Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible with the accessory power outlet and could result in blown vehicle or adaptor fuses. If you experience a problem, see your dealer for additional information on the accessory power outlets. 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. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment. When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the proper installation instructions included with the equipment. Notice: Improper use of the power outlet can cause 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. 185 Ashtray(s) and Cigarette Lighter Your vehicle may have this feature. The ashtray is removable and ﬁts into the front cupholder. Notice: If you put papers, pins, or other ﬂammable items in the ashtray, hot cigarettes or other smoking materials could ignite them and possibly damage your vehicle. Never put ﬂammable items in the ashtray. To remove the ashtray, pull the covered bin out of the cupholder. To use the lighter, press it in all the way, and let go. When it is ready, it will pop back out by itself. 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. Do not use equipment exceeding maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes. 186 Climate Controls Dual Climate Control System With this system you can control the heating, cooling, and ventilation for your vehicle. 9(Fan): Turn the left knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed. If the knob is in off mode, outside air still enters the vehicle, and is directed based on the position of the mode knob. The temperature can still be adjusted using the temperature knob. Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise to direct the airﬂow inside of your vehicle. To change the current mode, select one of the following: H(Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel outlets. )(Bi-Level): This mode directs about half of the air to the instrument panel outlets; then directs most of the remaining air to the ﬂoor outlets. A little air is directed toward the windshield and the side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper vents and warmer air to the ﬂoor outlets. 6(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the ﬂoor outlets with a little air directed to the windshield and the side window outlets. The recirculation button cannot be selected while in ﬂoor mode. @ (Recirculation): Recirculation mode is used to recirculate the air inside of your vehicle. When this button is pressed, an indicator light in the button will come on to let you know that it is active. Use this mode to help prevent outside odors and/or dust from entering your vehicle or to help cool the air inside of your vehicle more quickly. The air conditioning compressor will also come on when this mode is activated. While in recirculation mode, the windows may fog when the weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, select either the defog or defrost mode and increase fan speed. Defog and defrost modes are described later in this section. 187 Driver’s Side Temperature Lever: The lever on the left side of the climate control panel is used to raise or lower the temperature on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Slide the lever up or down to adjust the temperature. Passenger’s Side Temperature Lever: The lever on the right side of the climate control panel is used to raise or lower the temperature on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. Slide the lever up or down to adjust the temperature. This lever also adjusts the temperature to the rear seat outlets. When the temperature outside is 0°F (-18°C) or lower, use the engine coolant heater, if the vehicle has one, to provide warmer air, faster to your vehicle. #(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air-conditioning system on or off. When the button is pressed, an indicator light will come on and the system will begin to cool and dehumidify the air inside of the vehicle. You may notice a slight change in engine performance when the air conditioning compressor shuts off and turns on again. This is normal. 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 choose from to clear fog or frost from your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise to select one of the following modes: -(Defog): This mode directs the air to the ﬂoor outlets, windshield and side window outlets. The recirculation button cannot be selected while in defog mode. 1(Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the windshield and the side window outlets, with only a little air directed to the ﬂoor outlets. The air conditioning compressor may run to dehumidify the air to prevent window fogging. The recirculation button cannot be selected while in defrost mode. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 188 Rear Window Defogger If your vehicle has the rear window defogger a warming grid is used to remove fog on the rear window. <(Rear): Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button will come on to let you know that the rear window defogger is active. The rear window defogger will automatically turn off approximately ten minutes after the button is pressed. If your vehicle has heated mirrors, this button will activate them. Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid. Dual Automatic Climate Control System With this system you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation for your vehicle. When your vehicle is ﬁrst started and the climate control system is on, or if the climate control system has been turned on, the display will show the driver’s temperature setting for ﬁve seconds. Then it will show the outside temperature. 189 9(Off): Press this button to turn off the entire climate control system. Outside air will still enter the vehicle, and will be directed to the ﬂoor. Press the AUTO button, the mode button, the fan arrows, or either temperature knob to turn the system on. C(Mode): Press this button to manually select the air delivery mode to the ﬂoor, instrument panel, or windshield outlets. The system will stay in the selected mode until the mode button is pressed again or the AUTO button is pressed. Driver’s Side Temperature Knob: Turn this knob clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the temperature on the driver’s side of the vehicle. The display will show the temperature setting decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing toward the driver. This knob can also adjust the passenger’s side temperature setting if the two are linked. Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob: Turn this knob clockwise or counterclockwise to manually raise or lower the temperature on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The display will show the temperature setting decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing toward the passenger. 190 The passenger’s temperature setting can be set to match and link to the driver’s temperature setting by pressing and holding the AUTO button for three seconds. When adjusting the driver’s side temperature setting, the passenger’s side temperature setting will follow and both arrows will appear on the display. The passenger’s side temperature setting also resets and relinks to the driver’s side temperature setting if the vehicle has been off for more than three hours. Outside Air Temperature Display A new outside temperature reading will be displayed if the vehicle has been off for more than three hours. If the vehicle has been off for less than three hours, the old temperature reading may be displayed because underhood heat is affecting the true outside temperature. Underhood heat can also affect the outside temperature while the engine is running. It may also take several minutes of driving before the display updates to the actual outside temperature. Automatic Operation AUTO (Automatic): When automatic operation is active, the system will control the inside temperature, the air delivery mode, and the fan speed. Use the steps below to place the entire system in automatic mode: 1. Press the AUTO button. When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning operation and air outlet mode will be automatically controlled. The air conditioning compressor will run continuously when the outside temperature is over approximately 40°F (4°C). The air inlet will normally be set to outside air. If it’s hot outside, the air inlet will automatically switch to recirculate inside air to help quickly cool down your vehicle. 2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature. To ﬁnd your comfort setting, start with a 72°F (22°C) temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to adjust. Turn the driver’s or passenger’s side temperature knob to adjust the temperature setting as necessary. If you choose the temperature setting of 60°F (15°C), the system will remain at the maximum cooling setting. If you choose the temperature setting of 90°F (32°C), the system will remain at the maximum heat setting. Choosing either maximum setting may not cause the vehicle to heat or cool any faster. Manual Operation To change the current setting, select one of the following: w9x(Fan): This button allows you to manually adjust the fan speed. Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed. The display will change to show you the selected fan speed and the driver’s side temperature setting for ﬁve seconds. C(Mode): Press this button to manually change the direction of the airﬂow in your vehicle. Keep pressing the button until the desired mode appears on the display. The display will change to show you the selected air delivery mode and the driver’s temperature setting for ﬁve seconds. 191 H(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, then directs the remaining air to the ﬂoor outlets. A little air is directed toward the windshield and the side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the ﬂoor outlets. 6(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the ﬂoor outlets. Some air also comes out of the defroster and side window outlets. The recirculation button cannot be selected in ﬂoor mode. @(Recirculation): Press this button to turn recirculation mode on or off. When this button is pressed, an indicator light in the button will also come on to let you know that it is activated. Recirculation mode is used to recirculate the air inside of your vehicle. Use this mode to help prevent outside odors and/or dust from entering your vehicle or to help cool the air inside of your vehicle more quickly. Recirculation mode can be used with vent and bi-level modes, but it cannot be used with ﬂoor, defog or defrost modes. Defog and defrost modes are described later in this section. 192 If recirculation mode is selected with ﬂoor, defog, or defrost modes, the indicator will ﬂash three times and then turn off indicating the selection is not available. You may also notice that the air conditioning compressor will run while in recirculation mode. This is normal and will help to prevent fogging. If the weather is cold and damp, the system may cause the windows to fog while using recirculation mode. If the windows do start to fog, select defog or defrost mode and increase fan speed. Recirculation mode, if selected, will be cleared when the engine is turned off. #A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to manually turn the air conditioning system on or off. When the system is on, the system will automatically begin to cool and dehumidify the air inside of your vehicle. The air conditioning symbol will appear on the display when the air conditioning is on and will turn off when the air conditioning is off. If you turn the air conditioning off while in front defrost or defog mode, the air conditioning symbol will turn off, however, the A/C compressor will remain on to help de-humidify the air inside the vehicle. If one of the other modes is selected the compressor will then turn the A/C off until it is selected again or the AUTO button is pressed. To avoid fogging the inside glass on rainy and humid days at a temperature above freezing, press the air conditioning button to run the A/C compressor. Also it is best to avoid the use of the recirculation mode except when maximum air conditioning performance is needed or for short times to avoid exterior odors. You may notice a slight change in engine performance when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and turns on again. This is normal. Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of moisture condensing on the cool window glass. This can be reduced if the climate control system is used properly. You can use either defog or front defrost to clear fog or frost from your windshield. -(Defog): Use this setting to clear the windows of fog or moisture. This setting will deliver air to the ﬂoor and windshield outlets. 0(Front Defrost): Press the front defrost button to clear the windshield and side windows of frost or fog quickly. The system will automatically control the fan speed if you select defrost from AUTO mode. If the outside temperature is 40°F (4°C) or warmer, your air conditioning compressor will automatically run to help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 193 Rear Window Defogger If your vehicle has the rear window defogger a warming grid is used to remove fog from the rear window. <(Rear): Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button will come on to let you know that the rear window defogger is activated. The rear window defogger will turn off approximately 10 minutes after the button is pressed. If you need additional warming time, press the button again. If your vehicle has heated mirrors, they will come on when this button is pressed. Notice: Do not use a razor blade or sharp object to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass. These actions may damage the rear defogger. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. 194 Outlet Adjustment Use the air outlets located in the center and on the side of the instrument panel to direct the airﬂow. Operation Tips (cid:127) Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow, or any other obstruction, such as leaves. The heater and defroster will work better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside of your windows. (cid:127) When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set the fan speed to maximum airﬂow for a few moments before driving. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of your windows. (cid:127) Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to circulate throughout your vehicle. (cid:127) Adding outside equipment to the front of the vehicle, such as hood-air deﬂectors, may affect the performance of the heating and air conditioning system. Check with your dealer before adding equipment to the outside of your vehicle. Rear Climate Control System Your vehicle has one of the following rear climate control systems. With either of these systems, the rear climate controls will be disabled when the front climate control system is in defrost. This occurs to provide maximum airﬂow to clear the windshield. The temperature of the air coming through the rear outlets is determined by the front passenger’s temperature setting. Use the mode knob to change the direction of airﬂow (upper, bi-level or ﬂoor) to the rear seat area. PWR (Power): Press this button to turn the rear climate controls on or off. H (Panel): When panel mode is selected, the rear system will distribute air from the four headliner outlets. ) (Bi-level): When bi-level mode is selected, the rear system will distribute air from the four headliner outlets, the second seat side ﬂoor outlets, and the third seat ﬂoor outlet. 195 6 (Floor): When ﬂoor mode is selected, the rear system will distribute air from the second seat side ﬂoor outlets and the third seat ﬂoor outlet. P (On/Off): Press this button to turn the rear climate controls on or off. z9 y (Fan): Press this button to adjust the fan speed. z\ y (Mode): Press this button to change the direction of airﬂow (panel, bi-level or ﬂoor) to the rear seat area. The rear control will only turn on if the front is on and not in defrost mode. If your vehicle has the rear seat audio system, the lower buttons are used to adjust the rear seat climate control system. The temperature of the air coming through the rear outlets is determined by the front passenger’s temperature setting. 196 Warning Lights, Gages, and Indicators This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them. Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to your warning lights and gages could also save you or others from injury. Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As you will see in the details on the next few pages, some warning lights come on brieﬂy when you start the engine just to let you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed when this happens. Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you know when there’s a problem with your vehicle. When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the section that tells you what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to do repairs can be costly—and even dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help. Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center (DIC) that works along with the warning lights and gages. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 218. 197 Instrument Panel Cluster Your instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You will know how fast you are going, about how much fuel you have used, and many other things you will need to know to drive safely and economically. United States Uplevel version shown, Canada and Base similar 198 Speedometer and Odometer The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). The odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada). The odometer mileage can be checked without the vehicle running. Press the trip stem located on the instrument panel cluster. If your vehicle needs a new odometer installed, the new one will be set to the correct mileage total of the old odometer. Trip Odometer The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero. The odometer works together with the Driver Information Center (DIC). You can set a Trip A and Trip B odometer. See “Trip Information” under DIC Operation and Displays on page 219. The odometer mileage can be checked without the vehicle running. Press the trip stem on the instrument panel cluster. Tachometer The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (rpm). 199 Safety Belt Reminder Light When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will sound for several seconds to remind you buckle your safety belt. The driver safety belt light will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then it will ﬂash for several more. You should buckle your seat belt. This chime and light will be repeated if the driver remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the driver’s belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light Several seconds after the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will sound for several seconds to remind the front passenger to buckle their safety belt. This would only occur if the passenger airbag is enabled. See Passenger Sensing System on page 82 for more information. The passenger safety belt light will also come on and stay on for several seconds, then it will ﬂash for several more. This chime and light will be repeated if the passenger remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion. If the passenger’s safety belt is buckled, neither the chime nor the light will come on. 200 Airbag Readiness Light There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows the airbag symbol. The system checks the airbag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system check includes the airbag sensors, the airbag modules, the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module. For more information on the airbag system, see Airbag System on page 71. This light will come on when you start your vehicle, and it will ﬂash for a few seconds. Then the light should go out. This means the system is ready. {CAUTION: If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle, it means the airbag system may not be working properly. The airbags in your vehicle may not inﬂate in a crash, or they could even inﬂate without a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle serviced right away if the airbag readiness light stays on after you start your vehicle. If the airbag readiness light stays on after you start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your airbag system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away. The airbag readiness light should ﬂash for a few seconds when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light does not come on then, have it ﬁxed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. 201 When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START, the passenger airbag status indicator will light ON and OFF, or the symbol for on and off, for several seconds as a system check. Then, after several more seconds, the status indicator will light either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol to let you know the status of the right front passenger’s frontal airbag. If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger airbag status indicator, it means that the right front passenger’s frontal airbag is enabled (may inﬂate). Passenger Airbag Status Indicator Your vehicle has the passenger sensing system. Your rearview mirror has a passenger airbag status indicator. United States Canada 202 {CAUTION:
