MULTI-FUNCTION LEVER

Windshield wiper: Rotate the end

of the control away from you to

increase the speed of the wipers;

rotate towards you to decrease the

speed of the wipers.

Speed dependent wipers (if equipped): When the wiper control is set

to any of the interval settings except the longest pause setting, the pause

time between wiping will automatically adjust with the vehicle speed.

The faster your vehicle is travelling the shorter the pause time between

wipes will become.

Rain-sensing wipers (if equipped): The rain-sensing wipers will

automatically activate when moisture is present on the windshield and

the multi-function switch is set to one of five auto/interval moisture

sensitivity settings. Rotate the end of the control toward the windshield

to increase the sensitivity. The speed of the rain-sensitive wipers will

vary based on the amount of moisture detected on the windshield and

the auto/interval setting. There are no interval (intermittent wipe)

settings on vehicles with rain-sensing wipers. The wipers will continue to

wipe as long as the presence of moisture is detected on the windshield.

More or less wiping may occur depending on humidity, mist or light rain,

or road spray.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean, especially the area around the

rear view mirror where the sensor is located or rain sensor performance

may be affected.

Note: During winter driving conditions with ice, snow or a salty road

mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or smearing may occur. In these

conditions, you can lower the sensitivity to reduce the amount of

smearing or override the feature by selecting low- or high-speed wiping

or turning the wiper system off.

Note: The wipers must be turned off before entering a car wash.

for up to ten seconds.

Courtesy wipe feature: One extra wipe will occur a few seconds after

washing the front window to clear any excess washer fluid remaining on

the windshield.

Note: Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.

This may cause the washer pump to overheat. Check the washer fluid

level frequently. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.

This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper

motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield,

always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper

blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.

The compass heading is displayed in the center integrated display (CID).

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large

buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic

or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect

compass accuracy.

Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will

correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal

conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual

calibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass calibration

adjustment.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that

varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four

degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the

vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this

error. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.

accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power

outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.

Auxiliary power points can be found in the following locations:

• On the instrument panel

• In the center console utility compartment

Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element (if

equipped).

Note: Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter

socket (if equipped). Improper use of the lighter can cause damage not

covered by your warranty, and can result in fire or serious injury.

To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s) over

the vehicle capacity of 12V DC/180W. If the power point is not working, a

fuse may have blown. Refer to Fuses and relays in the Roadside

Emergencies chapter for information on checking and replacing fuses.

To have full capacity usage of your power point, the engine is required to

be running to avoid unintentional discharge of the battery. To prevent

the battery from being discharged:

• do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is

not running,

• do not leave battery chargers, video game adapters, computers and

other devices plugged in overnight or when the vehicle is parked for

extended periods.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a universal garage door opener which

can be used to replace the common hand-held transmitter.

Car2Uா Home Automation System (if equipped)

The Car2U௡ Home Automation

System is a universal transmitter

located in the driver’s visor that

includes two primary features – a

garage door opener and a platform

for remote activation of devices

within the home. The Car2U௡

system’s garage door opener

function replaces the common

hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is

integrated into the interior of your vehicle. After being programmed for

garage doors, the Car2U௡ system transmitter can be programmed to

operate security devices and home lighting systems.

WARNING: Make sure that people and objects are clear of the

garage door or security device you are programming. Do not

program the Car2U௡ system with the vehicle in the garage.

Do not use the Car2U௡ system with any garage door opener that lacks

safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. Federal Safety

Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before

April 1, 1982).

Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other

vehicles as well as for future Car2U௡ system programming. It is also

recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the

programmed Car2U௡ system buttons should be erased for security

reasons. Refer to Erasing the Car2U௡ Home Automation System

buttons later in this section.

Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the

Car2U௡ system. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have

another person assist you in programming the transmitter.

Additional Car2U௡ system information can be found on-line at

www.learcar2U.com or by calling the toll-free Car2U௡ system help line at

1-866-572-2728.

Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code)

The Car2U௡ Home Automation System may be programmed to operate

rolling code and fixed code garage door openers.

• Rolling code garage door openers were 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.

• Fixed code garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed

code uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually

programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code.

Erasing the Car2Uா Home Automation System buttons

Note: The system allows for three devices to be programmed. If you

need to change or replace any of the three devices after it has been

initially programmed, it will be necessary to erase the current settings

using the procedure below and then reprogramming all of the devices

being used.

To erase programming on the Car2U௡ system (individual buttons cannot

be erased), use the following procedure:

1. Firmly press the two outside

Car2U௡ system buttons

simultaneously for approximately

20 seconds until the indicator lights

begin to blink rapidly. The indicator

lights are located directly above the

buttons.

2. Once the indicator lights begin to

blink, release your fingers from the

buttons. The codes for all buttons

are erased.

If you sell your vehicle equipped with the Car2U௡ system, it is

recommended that you erase the programming for security reasons.
