Cruise control allows a speed of approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more to be maintained
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 the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel
spin, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. SeeTraction Control System (TCS)
on page 353. When road conditions allow,
the cruise control can be used again.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. Push the button at the end of the cruise
control lever to turn the cruise control on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
3. Push down on the cruise control lever and
release it. This will set the speed in cruise
control.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
This symbol will appear
on the instrument panel
cluster when the
cruise control is set.
178

This symbol will disappear when the brakes are
applied or the cruise control is cancelled. It will
reappear when the set cruise speed is resumed.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and
then the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts
off. But the cruise control does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle is traveling approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, the cruise control
lever can be pushed upward toward the plus
(resume/accelerate) position to return to the
preset cruise speed.
The vehicle will return to and stay at the preset
cruise speed. If the cruise control lever is pushed
up and held toward the plus (resume/accelerate)
position, the vehicle speed will increase until the
lever is released or the brakes are applied.
Do not continue to hold the lever in the plus
(resume/accelerate) position, unless a faster
speed is desired.
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. Push up on the cruise control lever
toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position,
then release the lever and take your foot
off the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will now
cruise at the higher speed.
Push up and hold the cruise control lever
toward the plus (resume/accelerate) position
until the vehicle reaches the desired speed.
Then release the cruise control lever. To
increase the vehicle’s speed in very small
amounts, push up briey on the cruise control
lever and release it. Each time this is done,
the vehicle will speed up approximately
one mph (1.6 km/h).
The acceleration feature will only work after the
cruise control speed has been set by pushing the
cruise control lever down to the set position.
179

Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce the vehicle’s speed
while using cruise control:
Push the cruise control lever downward toward
the minus (set/coast/decelerate) position until
a lower speed is reached, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push
the cruise control lever downward toward the
minus (set/coast/decelerate) position briey.
Each time this is done, the vehicle will slow
down approximately one mph (1.6 km/h).
Passing Another Vehicle While
Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle’s
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal,
the vehicle will slow down to the cruise control
speed set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control will work on hills
depends upon the vehicle’s speed, its load, and
the steepness of the hills. When going up steep
hills, the accelerator pedal might have to be
used in order to maintain the vehicle’s speed.When going downhill, the brakes might have to be
applied, or the transaxle might have to be shifted
to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down.
Doing either of these things will take the vehicle out
of cruise. It may be better not to use the cruise
control if the brakes constantly have to be applied,
or the vehicle continuously needs to be shifted to
a lower gear.
Cancelling Cruise Control
To cancel a cruise control session, pull the cruise
control lever forward, or step lightly on the
brake pedal.
Doing either of these things will only end the
current cruise control session, but the set speed
will be retained in memory.
Push the button at the end of the cruise control
lever to turn the system off.
Erasing Speed Memory
When the cruise control or the ignition is turned
off, the cruise control set speed memory is erased.

How the System Works
Unless disabled, the URPA will turn on
automatically when the shift lever is moved into
REVERSE (R). When the system turns on, the
three lights on the display will illuminate for one and
a half seconds 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 that the system does
not work at speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h).
If an object is detected at a REVERSE (R) speed
of less than 3 mph (5 km/h), one of the following
will occur:
Description English Metric
amber light 5 ft 1.5 m
amber/amber lights 40 in 1.0 m
amber/amber/red lights &
continuous chime20 in 0.5 m
amber/amber/
red lights ashing &
continuous chime1 ft 0.3 m
A chime will sound the rst time an object
is detected between 20 inches (0.5 m) and
5 feet (1.5 m) away.URPA cannot detect objects that are above liftgate
level. In order for the rear sensors to recognize
an object, it must be within detection range behind
the vehicle.
When the System Does Not Seem to
Work Properly
The light may ash red when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R) if the ultrasonic sensors are
not kept clean. So be sure to keep your rear
bumper free of mud, dirt, snow, ice and slush.
Other conditions that may affect system
performance include things like the vibrations from
a jackhammer or the compression of air brakes
on a very large truck. If after cleaning the
rear bumper and then driving forward at least
15 mph (25 km/h), the display continues to ash
red, see your dealer.
If a trailer was attached to your vehicle, or a
bicycle or an object was on the back of, or hanging
out of your liftgate during your last drive cycle,
the light may also ash red. The light will continue
to ash whenever in REVERSE (R) until your
vehicle is driven forward at least 15 mph (25 km/h)
without any obstructions behind the vehicle.

Brake System Warning Light
When the ignition is on, the brake system warning
light will 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.
Your vehicle’s hydraulic brake system is divided
into two parts. If one part isn’t working, the
other part can still work and stop you. For good
braking, though, you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there could be a
brake problem. Have your brake system inspected
right away.This light should come on briey when you turn
the ignition key to RUN. If it doesn’t come on then,
have it xed so it will be ready to warn you if
there’s a problem.

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 oor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is
still on, have the vehicle towed for service. See
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light on page 215
andTowing Your Vehicle on page 384.
{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 have pulled
off the road and stopped carefully, have
the vehicle towed for service.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light
Your vehicle has
an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS)
warning light.
This light should come on for a few seconds
when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light
does not come on then, have it xed so it will
be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If this light stays on longer than normal after you
have started your engine, turn the ignition off.
If the light comes on and stays on when you are
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 are driving, the ABS needs service
and you do not have anti-lock brakes.

Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning Light
Your vehicle may have
a traction control system
warning light.
The traction control system warning light may
come on for the following reasons:
If you turn the system off by pressing the
traction control button. To turn the system
back on, press the button again. The warning
light should go off. SeeTraction Control
System (TCS) on page 353for more
information.
If there is a brake system problem that is
specically related to traction control, the
traction control system will turn off and
the warning light will come on. If your brakes
begin to overheat, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning light will
come on until your brakes cool down.
If the traction control system is affected by an
engine-related problem, the system will turn
off and the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system warning light comes
on and stays on for an extended period of
time when the system is turned on, your vehicle
needs service.
