Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
At the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever there is a
paddle with the word PUSH on it. To spray washer
uid on the windshield, press and release this paddle.
The wipers will clear the windshield and either stop
or return to your preset speed. For more washer cycles,
press and hold the paddle.
CHECK WASHER FLUID will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the washer uid
reaches a low level.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of
approximately 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. SeeTraction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-9. 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.
The buttons to operate cruise control are located on the
steering wheel.
1. Press the CRUISE ON/OFF button, 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 the SET/CST (coast) button 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.
3-14

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 the RES/ACC
(resume/accelerate) button 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 the RES/ACC button, 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 the RES/ACC button.
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 the SET/CST button, then release the
button and the accelerator pedal. You will now
cruise at the higher speed.
Press the RES/ACC button. Hold it there until you get
up to the speed that you want, and then release the
button. To increase your speed in very small
amounts, briey press the RES/ACC button and then
release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will
speed up approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pressing the SET/CST button.

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.
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” underInterior 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.
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 (if equipped).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
3-19

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 is 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.
Light Sensor
The light sensor for the DRL and the Twilight
Sentinel®is located in the center 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 displayed whenever the ignition is on.

Courtesy Lamps
The courtesy lamps are located on the headliner above
the rear seat. These lamps come on by turning the
instrument panel brightness knob fully clockwise or when
any door is opened and it is dark outside. Puddle
lamps are located on the bottom of the front and rear
door trim.
Entry Lighting
This feature 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.

The Night Vision System can be operated if:
the instrument panel brightness knob is in any
position except OFF
it is dark enough outside
the headlamps or fog lamps (if equipped) are on and
the ignition is turned to ON.
The controls for this feature are located to the left of
and below the steering wheel. They are used to adjust
the brightness and location of the image. Adjust the
IMAGE control so the image is as low as possible while
remaining visible.Slide the dimmer control until the image is no brighter
than necessary to clearly and comfortably see the image.
When the system comes on, you will see the Night
Vision System symbol in the image. After about
one minute, you should see the view of the road ahead.
If you do not see the image after about two minutes
(on cold days it may take longer for the image to
display), there may be something wrong with the
system. See your dealer for service.
{CAUTION:
If the Night Vision System image is too bright,
or too high in your eld of view, it may take
you more time to see things you need to see
when it is dark outside. Be sure to keep the
image dim and placed low in your eld of view.
3-26

Remember that the Night Vision System can only help
you see objects that are warmer or colder than the
surroundings. It can not sense things like brake lights,
turn signals or emergency ashers, traffic lights or signs.
In dry, clear weather, the system can see pedestrians,
animals and the direction of the road ahead. In light
rain, light snow or light fog the image may not be
as clear and you may not be able to see the direction of
the road ahead. In more severe weather conditions,
the image may be unclear and not usable.
{CAUTION:
Do not use the Night Vision System to replace
your normal view of the road ahead. It can not
tell you how far away things are. It senses only
warmer or colder objects, not all objects.
Driving by staring at the image might cause
you not to see important objects in the road
ahead. If you do not see something in time,
you could have a crash in which you and
others could be injured. Use the Night Vision
System only as a driving aid.It is also important to keep your windshield, the HUD
(Head-Up Display for the Night Vision System) lens and
the camera lens clean. If you do not keep everything
clean, system performance may be affected.
The HUD system is located on the driver’s side of the
instrument panel, next to the windshield and the camera
is located behind the center of the front grille.
Use only household glass cleaner and a soft cloth to
clean the HUD or camera lens. Wipe gently and
dry thoroughly.
Notice:When cleaning, be careful not to scratch
the HUD or camera lenses. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the HUD lens because the
cleaner could leak inside the unit and cause
damage.
The camera must also be aligned to work correctly. If
the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer. Do
not attempt to adjust the camera yourself.

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 briey 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 ash to remind you the
system does not work at this speed.The rst 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 ash.
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.
If the URPA system is not functioning properly, the
display will ash red, indicating that there is a problem.
The light will also ash 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 ash until the trailer or the object is removed
and your vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph
(25 km/h).
