TABLE OF CONTENTS

AUTOMATIC DIMMING MIRRORS
The rearview and driver side exterior mirror automatically adjusts for headlight glare
from vehicles behind you.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over accelerator operations at
speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering
wheel.
NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the
Electronic Speed Control System has
been designed to shut down if multiple
Speed Control functions are operated at
the same time. If this occurs, the Elec-
tronic Speed Control System can be re-
activated by pushing the Electronic
Speed Control ON/OFF button and reset-
ting the desired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Push the ON/OFF button to activate the
electronic speed control. CRUISE CON-
TROL READY will appear on the instru-
ment cluster to indicate the electronic
speed control is on. To turn the system
off, push the ON/OFF button a second
time. CRUISE CONTROL OFF will appear
on the instrument cluster to indicate the
electronic speed control is off. The sys-
tem should be turned off when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is dangerous. You
could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not
using it.

To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Electronic Speed Control ON. When the vehicle has reached the desired
speed, push the SET (+) or SET (-) button and release. Release the accelerator and
the vehicle will operate at the selected speed. Once a speed has been set a message
CRUISE CONTROL SET TO MPH (km/h) will appear indicating what speed was set.
A CRUISE indicator lamp, along with set speed will also appear and stay on in the
instrument cluster when the speed is set.
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CANCEL button, or normal brake pressure
while slowing the vehicle will deactivate the Electronic Speed Control without erasing
the set speed from memory.
Pushing the ON/OFF button or turning the ignition switch OFF erases the set speed
from memory.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES (+) button and release. Resume can
be used at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Speed
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can increase speed by pushing the
SET+button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for more information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the
chosen speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET +button once will result in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET +button once will result in a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC)
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control the controls operate ex-
actly the same as the electronic speed
control with only a couple of differences.
With this option you can set a specified
distance you would like to maintain be-
tween you and the vehicle in front of you.
If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle
ahead, ACC will apply limited braking or
acceleration automatically to maintain a
preset following distance, while match-
ing the speed of the vehicle ahead.
If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed
set speed.
ACC ON/OFF
• Push and release the Adaptive CruiseControl (ACC) ON/OFF button.
ACC READY will appear in the Driver
Information Display (DID) to indicate the ACC is on.
• Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) ON/OFF button a second time to turn the system off.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Off will appear in the Driver Information Display (DID)
to indicate the ACC is off.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Speed
While ACC is set, you can increase the set speed by pushing the SET +button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for more information. The speed increment shown is dependant on the
speed of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET +button once will result in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an increase of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to increase in 5 mph increments until the button is released. The increase in set speed is
reflected in the DID.

Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short).
Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the
distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the DID.
• To increase the distance setting, push the Distance Setting—Increase button andrelease. Each time the button is pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar
(longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance Setting—Decrease button and release. Each time the button is pushed, the distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter).
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while following a target vehicle,
if the target vehicle starts moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, your vehicle will resume motion without the need for any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming
to a standstill, the driver will either have to push the RES (resume) button, or apply
the accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing Set Speed.
While the ACC system is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if the driver seatbelt is
unbuckled or the driver door is opened, the parking brake will be activated, and the
ACC system will be cancelled.
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed
Speed) Speed Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the
system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, push the ADAPTIVECRUISE CONTROL (ACC) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal
(Fixed Speed) Speed Control OFF.
• Pushing the normal (Fixed Speed) SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF button will result in turning ON (changing to) the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.

WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving
to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result
in a collision and death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g.,a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop while following a target vehicle and
hold the vehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within two seconds the ACC system will display a message that the
system will release the brakes and that the brakes must be applied manually.
An audible chime will sound when the brakes are released.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
The Cruise Control system has two control modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining an appropriate distance between
vehicles.
• Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control mode for cruising at a constant
preset speed. For additional information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed)
Cruise Control Mode” in this section.
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles.
Always be aware of the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control buttons. The two control
modes function differently. Always confirm which mode is selected.
