Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle with a variable pause be-
tween cycles. Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to
the first detent position. There are four possible delay
intervals that depend on the vehicle speed.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first detent past
the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper operation.
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the second detent
past the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper opera-
tion.
Mist
Use the mist feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the lever
upward to the mist position and release for a single
wiping cycle.NOTE:The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the
windshield. The wash function must be used in order to
spray the windshield with washer fluid.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wiper will start and continue to operate
for three wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers
will operate for three wipe cycles and then turn off.

WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving.
Adjusting the steering column while driving or driv-
ing with the steering column unlocked, could cause
the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious injury or
death.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than 18 mph
(30 km/h) up to the maximum speed of 105 mph
(170 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control Lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.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 Electronic Speed Control system can
be reactivated rotating the end of the multifunction lever
(On/Off) and resetting the desired vehicle set speed.

To Activate
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to activate the
Electronic Speed Control. The Cruise Indicator Light in
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
illuminate. To turn the system off, rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to the “O” position. The Cruise
Indicator Light will turn off. The system 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, move the electronic speed
control lever upward SET(+) and release. Release the
accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected
speed.
NOTE:The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed
and on level ground before moving the electronic speed
control lever upward SET(+).
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the RESUME/
CANCEL button, or normal brake pressure while slow-
ing the vehicle will deactivate Electronic Speed Control
without erasing the set speed memory. Rotating the end
of the multifunction lever to the “O” position or turning
the ignition switch OFF erases the set speed memory.

button and release. Resume can be used at any speed
above 18 mph (30 km/h).
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Speed
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can in-
crease speed by tapping the Speed Control lever up (+).
The speed increment shown is dependant on the speed of
U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)
•Tapping the Speed Control lever up (+) once will result
in a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap
of the lever results in an increase of 1 mph.•If the lever is continually help up, the set speed will
continue to increase until the lever is released, then the
new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
•Tapping the Speed Control lever up (+) once will result
in a 2 km/h increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap
of the lever results in an increase of 2 km/h.
•If the lever is continually help up, the set speed will
continue to increase until the lever is released, then the
new set speed will be established.
To Decrease Speed
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can decrease
speed by tapping the Speed Control lever down (-).

The speed decrement shown is dependant on the speed
of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h) units:
U.S. Speed (mph)
•Tapping the Speed Control lever down (-) once will
result in a 1 mph decrease in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the lever results in a decrease of 1 mph.
•If the lever is continually held down, the set speed will
continue to decrease until the lever is released, then
the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
•Tapping the Speed Control lever down (-) once will
result in a 2 km/h decrease in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the lever results in a decrease of 2 km/h.
•If the lever is continually held down, the set speed will
continue to decrease until the lever is released, then
the new set speed will be established.To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
PARKING SENSORS — IF EQUIPPED
They are located in the rear bumper and their function is
to detect the presence of any obstacles near the rear part
of the car; they consequently inform the driver, through
an intermittent acoustic signal.
96 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Activation/Deactivation
The sensors are automatically activated when reverse
gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the car gets
closer, the acoustic signal becomes more frequent.
Acoustic Signal
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an obstacle
behind the vehicle, an acoustic signal is emitted which
varies according to the distance of the bumper from the
obstacle.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
•Increases as the distance between car and obstacle
decreases, culminating in a continuous acoustic signal
when the distance is less than approximately 12 in (30
cm).
•Decreases if the distance from the obstacle increases,
until the signal ceases entirely.
•Remains constant if the distance between car and
obstacle remains unchanged; if this situation concerns
the side sensors, the signal will stop after approxi-
mately 3 seconds to avoid, for example, indications in
the event of manoeuvres along a wall.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 97

If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
Indications On Display — If Equipped
When the sensors are activated, the screen appears on the
display.Obstacle presence and distance information is therefore
provided both by the acoustic signal and the instrument
panel display.
The system indicates a detected obstacle by displaying an
arc in one or more positions according to the distance of
the obstacle and its position in relation to the car.
If an obstacle is detected in the rear central area, the
display shows all the arcs in the rear central area, up to
the one that corresponds to the position of the obstacle
itself.
The signal is similar for obstacles in the rear left or right
area.
The arc that corresponds to the position of the obstacle
will flash.
The color on the display depends on the distance from
and position of the obstacle.
