Controls and Instruments 4-23
Windshield Upper Section De-icing
06259
Optionally on Entertainers only, the
vehicle may be equipped with a de-
icing system in the windshield upper
section.
P ress the rocker switch to
activate the blower in order to clear
fog, frost or thin ice from either side
of the windshield upper sections.
Traction Control System Mud/Snow Mode
(option)
06268
On certain road conditions, it may be
useful to retard the intervention of the
traction control system TCS during
vehicle acceleration. The Mud/Snow
function allows greater engine power
and more wheel spin during TCS
operation. This function may be
helpful to set the vehicle in motion on
iced road for example.
Press the Mod/Snow switch to turn
on this function. The TCS/ESC
telltale blinks slowly when the TCS
Mud/Snow mode is active.
Always
remember to turn the Mud/Snow
feature off when driving on a firm
road surface.
A new ignition cycle or a second
pressing of the Mud/Snow switch
will turn this function off.
Left and Right Sunshades
06268
Two independent switches are
provided, press and hold to lower or
raise left or right sunshade
.
NOTE
Dash and steering wheel controls for the
sunshades work in parallel and the driver can
use them based on its own preference.
However, if both set of controls are pressed at
the same time, the dash controls will have
priority and the steering wheel controls will be
deactivated until the ignition is turned off and on
again.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to raise or lower these shades
manually. Damage to the electric motor or roller
mechanism could result.
Docking/Cornering Lights
06337
Depress the upper portion of the
switch to activate both the docking
and the cornering lights. Depress
the lower portion of the switch to
activate the cornering lights.
Two sealed beam halogen lights are
installed on each side of the vehicle.
One near the front and one near the
rear.
When the switch is set to
DOCKING , all four beams illuminate
to ease parking.
When the switch is set to CORNERING and the
left or right turn signal is activated, the
corresponding front beam will illuminate to
increase lateral visibility.
Fast Idle
06264
For extended idling periods, run
the engine at fast idle. Press down
the rocker switch to engage fast
idle. This increases the engine
speed to approximately 1,000
rpm. Return to slow idle before
driving or when stopping engine.
NOTE
If the parking brake is released and/or the
transmission is engaged with the engine running
at fast idle, the engine will return to low idle and
remain there as long as the parking brake is not
applied and/or transmission is not placed in
neutral (N).
CAUTION
Reduce the engine to low idle before shutting
the engine
OFF .
