Rear Window Wiper/Washer
This knob is located
on the instrument
panel below the
climate controls.
Z(Rear Wiper):To turn the rear wiper on,
turn the knob to either 1 or 2. For a slower
wiping speed, turn the knob to 1. For a faster
wiping speed, turn the knob to 2
0 (Off):To turn the wiper off, turn the knob to
this symbol.
=(Washer Fluid):To wash and wipe the window,
press the button within the knob with this symbol.
The rear window washer uses the same uid bottle
as the windshield washer. However, the rear
window washer will run out of uid before the
windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield
but not your rear windows, check the uid level.
Cruise Control
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).
9(Off):This position
turns the system off.
R(On):This position activates the system.
+ (Resume/Accelerate):Move the lever to this
symbol to make the vehicle accelerate or resume
to a previously set speed.
rT(Set):Press this button to set the speed.
159

Cruise control will not work if your parking brake is
set, or if the master cylinder brake uid level is low.
If you apply your 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.
The cruise control disengages, if the vehicle has the
Traction Control System (TCS) and it begins to limit
wheel spin. SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on
page 241. When road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, you can turn cruise control back on.
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.
1. Move the cruise control switch to on.
2. Get up to the speed desired.
3. Press in the set button at the end of the
lever and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The cruise symbol
on the instrument
panel comes on
when the cruise
control is engaged.
160

Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake or step
on the clutch. This, of course, disengages 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
briey from on to resume/accelerate.
The vehicle will go back to the chosen speed and
stays there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the
vehicle will keep going faster until you release
the switch or apply the brake. Do not hold
the switch at resume/accelerate, unless you
want the vehicle to go faster.
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 button at the end of
the lever, then release the button and
the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise
at the higher speed. If the accelerator pedal
is held longer than 60 seconds, cruise
control will turn off.
Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. 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 briey to
resume/accelerate. Each time you do this, your
vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control

Press and hold the set button until you reach
the desired lower speed, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briey
press the set button. 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 slows down to the cruise control speed
you set earlier.
161

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 might want
to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the
vehicle speed. When going downhill, you might
have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep the
vehicle speed down. Of course, applying the brake
turns off the cruise control. Many drivers nd this
to be too much trouble and do not use cruise control
on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, do one of the following:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move the cruise control switch to off.
Lightly tap or press the clutch, if you have
a manual transmission.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
the cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
The control on the driver’s side of your instrument
panel operates the exterior lamps.
O(Exterior Lamps):Turn the knob, located to
the right of this symbol, to choose one of the
four exterior lamp positions.
162

Security Light
This light will come on
briey when you turn
the key to START.
The light will stay on
until the engine starts.
If the ignition is turned on, and the light ashes,
the Passlock
®system has entered a tamper
mode. If the vehicle fails to start, seePasslock®
on page 100.
If the ignition is turned on, but the engine is not
running, the light should be on solid.
If the light comes on continuously while driving
and stays on, there may be a problem with
the Passlock
®system. Your vehicle will not be
protected by Passlock®, and you should see
your dealer.
Also, seeContent Theft-Deterrent on page 98for
additional information regarding the security light.
Cruise Control Light
This light comes on
whenever you set the
cruise control.
The light goes out when the cruise control is
turned off. SeeCruise Control on page 159for
more information.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes
on whenever
the high-beam
headlamps are on.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
on page 157for more information.

Remember: ABS does not change the time you
need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or
always decrease stopping distance. If you get too
close to the vehicle in front of you, you will not have
time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly
slows or stops. Always leave enough room up
ahead to stop, even though you have ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake
pedal down rmly and let anti-lock work for you.
You may feel the brakes vibrate, or you may
notice some noise, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With ABS, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you
more than even the very best braking.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS)
that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful
in slippery road conditions. The system operates
only if it senses that any of the wheels are spinning
or beginning to lose traction. When this happens,
the system applies the brakes to limit wheel
spin and also reduces engine power. You may
feel or hear the system working, but this is normal.
The Traction Control System may operate on dry
roads under some conditions. When this happens,
you may notice a reduction in acceleration or a
pumping sound. This is normal and doesn’t mean
there’s a problem with your vehicle. Examples of
these conditions include hard acceleration in a turn,
an abrupt upshift or downshift of the transmission
or driving on rough roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS
begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage
the cruise control. SeeCruise Control on page 159.
