2-38 Windshield Washer
At the end of the lever on right side of the steering
wheel, is a wiper symbol.
To spray washer fluid on the windshield, push the button
on the end of the lever. The wipers will run for several
cycles and then either stop or return to the preset speed.
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don't use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
The LOW WASHER
FLUID light, located on the
instrument panel will come
on when your vehicle is low
on washer fluid.
If you see this light while driving, your vehicle's washer
fluid is low. You should refill the windshield washer
fluid reservoir as soon as possible so that you'll have
washer fluid when you need it.

Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you either apply the brake or press the clear
button located on the steering column. This, of course
shuts off the cruise control. But you don't need to reset
it because the system remembers the last set speed.
Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
press the RES ACCEL (Resume Accelerate) button
located on your steering wheel. You'll go right back up
to your chosen speed and stay there.
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 COAST SET button located on the steering
wheel, then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed.
Press the RES ACCEL button located on the steering
wheel. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you
want and then release the button. To increase your
speed in very small amounts, press the RES ACCEL
button briefly and then release it. Each time you do
this, your vehicle will go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you set the
cruise control speed by pressing the COAST SET button
located on the steering wheel.Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Press the COAST SET button located on the steering
wheel until you reach the lower speed you want, then
release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, press the
COAST SET button located on the steering wheel
briefly and then release it. Each time you do this,
you'll go 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 will slow
down to the cruise speed you set earlier.

2-67 Speedometer/Odometer
Your speedometer lets your see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your
odometer shows you 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.
If your odometer fails and needs to be replaced, the
entire cluster needs to be replaced. Take your vehicle to
the dealer to have this done. The dealer will have the
new cluster odometer set to the mileage of the old
odometer/cluster if at all possible. But 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.Trip Odometer
Use these buttons located on the left side of the
instrument panel to set or reset the trip odometer.
TRIP 000 (Season mode/Trip mode):
Season mode
-- press this button to display the total
vehicle mileage.
Trip mode
-- press this button to display the trip
mileage. It tells you how far you have driven since
you last reset the trip odometer.
TRIP RESET: Press and hold this button for two or
three seconds to set the trip odometer back to zero.

If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. See ªTowing Your Vehicleº in
the Index.
CAUTION:
Your brake system may not be working properly
if the brake system warning light is on. Driving
with the brake system warning light on can lead
to an accident. If the light is still on after you've
pulled off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning light
will also come on when you set your parking brake. The
light will stay on if your parking brake doesn't release
fully. If it stays on after your parking brake is fully
released, it means you have a brake problem.
A warning chime will sound if your parking brake is set
and the transaxle is not in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
United States Canada
With the anti
-lock brake system, the light will come on
when your engine is started and may stay on for three
seconds. That's normal.
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, your vehicle needs service. If the light is
on and the regular brake system warning light isn't on, you
still have brakes, but 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.

2-74 Precision Control System (PCS) Warning
Light (Option)
United States Canada
This light should come on briefly as you start your engine.
If the light doesn't come on then, have it serviced so it will
be ready to warn you if there's a problem.
If the PCS warning light comes on, it means there may
be a problem with your Precision Control System. When
this light comes on, so will the TRAC OFF light and
both the Precision Control System and the Traction
Control System will not be functioning. If these lights
come on, try to reset the system (stop; turn off the
engine; then start the engine again). If the PCS and
TRAC OFF lights remain on, it means there is a
problem and you should see your dealer for service.
Reduce your speed and drive accordingly.
Low Traction Active (LOW TRAC) Light
Your LOW TRAC (Low
Traction Active) light may
come on for one of the
following reasons:
The Precision Control System (PCS) (if equipped) is
active and is adjusting brake pressure to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you
are steering. The PCS activates when the computer
senses that your vehicle is starting to spin, as might
happen if you hit a patch of ice or other slippery
surface on the road, and assists the driver by
selectively applying any one of the vehicle's brakes.
The system is designed to help you in bad weather or
other difficult driving situations by making the most
of whatever road conditions will allow. When the
system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration
in the brake pedal. This is normal.
The optional Traction Control System is active and is
limiting wheel spin. You may feel the system
working, but this is normal. Slippery road conditions
may exist, so adjust your driving accordingly.

2-82 Change Oil Light
The CHANGE OIL light
should come on briefly as a
bulb check when you start
the engine. If the light
doesn't come on, have the
vehicle serviced right away.
If the CHANGE OIL light comes on and stays on after
you start the engine, have the oil changed.
For additional information see ªEngine Oil, When to

System, see ªHow to Reset the Change Oil Lightº
in the Index.
Security Light
This light will come on
when you turn the key to
START and will stay on
until the engine starts.
If you're driving and the SECURITY light comes on
and stays on, your Passlock
 system is not working
properly. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock and
you should see your dealer. For more information, see
ªPasslockº in the Index.
Cruise Light
The CRUISE light comes
on whenever you set your
cruise control. See ªCruise
Controlº in the Index.
