Vehicle Customization
Some of your vehicle's features can be reset or
customized according to your preference. The features
you can program depend on the options that came with
your vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with the DIC, see ªDriver
Information Centerº in the Index to customize
your features.
The following features can be customized according to
the options that your vehicle has, if you do not have
the DIC.
Entering Programming Mode
To program features, your vehicle must be in the
programming mode. Follow these steps:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON. The gearshift must be
in PARK (P).
2. Press and hold the trip/reset button, located next to
the odometer for two seconds while the odometer is
in the odometer mode.

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 don't need to reset it. Once
you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you can
move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A
(resume/accelerate) briefly.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will keep
going faster until you release the switch or apply the
brake. So unless you want to go faster, don't hold the
switch at R/A.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.
Push the SET button at the end of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal. You'll
now cruise at the higher speed.

Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the switch. (To increase your speed in
very small amounts, move the switch to R/A briefly
and then release it. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
The accelerate feature will work whether or not you
have set an initial cruise control speed.

If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº in the Index or see your dealer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don't run your air inflator for longer than 30 minutes at
one time. If you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, press OFF and detach the hose
from the inflated object first, then from the outlet.
Replace the protective cap. Place the inflator kit tools in
the pouch, and store in the glove box.
Accessory Power Outlets

equipment such as a cellular telephone, CB radio, etc.
There are two front power outlets when the cigarette
lighter is not in use. They are located on the floor
console in the cell phone storage compartment.

the rear of the floor console below the vents. The other
is located in the rear of the vehicle on the driver's side
behind the access door.Pull the cover down to use an accessory power outlet.
When not in use, always cover the accessory power
outlets with the protective cap.

for an extended period of time, see your dealer for
more information.
NOTICE:

Maximum load of any electrical equipment
should not exceed 20 amps.

Be sure to turn off any electrical equipment
when not in use. Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended periods can
drain your battery.

blown vehicle or adapter fuses. If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information on
the accessory power outlets.

2-83 Speedometer and Tamper
Resistant Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
Your odometer shows how far your vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States) or
kilometers (used in Canada).
Your vehicle has a tamper
-resistant odometer.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then that will be done.
If it can't, then it's set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver's door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information
Center (DIC), you may toggle the odometer to either
miles (used in the United States) or kilometers (used in
Canada). See ªDriver Information Centerº in the Index.Trip Odometers
In addition to the standard odometer, the cluster can also
display a trip odometer. The display can be toggled
between the odometer and the trip odometer by quickly
pressing and releasing the trip/reset button located to the
right of the temperature gage. The display toggles once
each time the trip/reset button is pressed for less than
one and a half seconds. The display toggles in the
following sequence: Odometer
-- Trip Odometer.
The trip odometer will continue to keep track of miles
(kilometers) driven even if they are not currently
displayed. To reset the odometer to zero (0), push and
hold the trip/reset button for at least one and a half
seconds, but less than three seconds. The trip odometer
that is showing in the display will be reset.

2-84
Retro-Active Reset
The trip odometer has a feature called retro
-active reset.
This feature can be used to set the trip odometer to the
number of miles (kilometers) driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be used if you forget to
reset your trip odometer at the beginning of a trip. To
use the retro
-active reset feature, push and hold the
trip/reset button for at least three seconds. The trip
odometer will then display the number of miles
(kilometers) driven since the ignition was last turned on
and you began driving. (If you use the retro
-active reset
feature after you have started the vehicle, but before you
begin moving, the display will show the number of
miles (kilometers) you drove during the last ignition
cycle.) Once you begin driving, the trip odometer will
accumulate mileage. For example, if you have driven
5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you started your vehicle,
and then activate the retro
-active reset feature, the
display will show 5.0 miles (8.0 km). As you drive,
the display will then increase to 5.1 miles (8.2 km),
5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area, or engine damage may occur.

United States Canada
The anti
-lock brake system warning light should come
on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition key to
ON. If the anti
-lock brake system warning light stays on
longer than normal after you've started your engine, turn
the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on and stays on
when you're driving, stop as soon as possible and turn
the ignition off. Then start the engine again to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or comes on again
while you're driving, the anti
-lock brake system needs
service and you don't have anti
-lock brakes.
The anti
-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to ON. If the
light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.

(If Equipped)
United States Canada

for the following reasons:

If you turn the system off by pressing the TRAC
OFF button located in the center console switchbank
the warning light will come on and stay on. To turn

warning light should go off. See ªTraction Control
Systemº in the Index for more information.

If there's an engine
-related and brake system problem
that is specifically related to traction control, the
traction control system will turn off and the warning
light will come on. If the brake system problem is
caused by the brakes beginning to overheat, the
brakes will need to cool down before the traction
control system warning light will turn off.
