Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brakes
or downshifting into FIRST (1) takes you out of cruise
control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble
and don't use cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move the CRUISE switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn off the cruise control or the ignition.Exterior Lamps
This control on the left
side of the instrument
panel controls these
lamp systems:
Headlamps
Taillamps
Parking Lamps
Sidemarker Lamps
License Plate Lamp
Underhood Lamp
Fog Lamps (DeVille Concours Only)
Instrument Panel Lights
Interior Courtesy Lamps

When the Twilight Sentinel switch is on and it's dark
enough outside, the low
-beam headlamps (at reduced
intensity) will turn off and normal low
-beam headlamp
operation will occur. When the Twilight Sentinel switch
is on and it's bright enough outside, the regular lamps
will go off, and the low
-beam headlamps at reduced
brightness will take over for the DRL.
If it's dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
control is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
This message informs the driver that turning on the
exterior lamps is recommended even though the DRL
are still illuminated (it's become dark enough outside to
require the headlamps and/or other exterior lamps).
Turning on the Twilight Sentinel, the headlamp switch
or the fog lamp switch will remove the HEADLAMPS
SUGGESTED message.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel and shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables the DRL.
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel and manually turn on the parking lamps.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps (DeVille Concours Only)
Use the fog lamps for better
vision in foggy or misty
conditions. When you press
the fog lamp button, a small
indicator light will tell you
that the fog lamps and the
parking lamps are on. Press
the button again to turn
them off.
If you turn on the high
-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will turn off. They'll turn back on again when you
switch to low
-beam headlamps.
When the Twilight Sentinel is on and the fog lamp
switch is activated, the fog lamps will remain on as well
as the headlamps and parking lamps.

2-45 Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light for cornering.
Twilight Sentinel
This control is next to the
headlamp knob. It
automatically switches the
lamps on and off by sensing
how dark it is outside.
To operate the Twilight Sentinel, leave the lamp knob
off and move the TWILIGHT control to any position
but OFF.If you move the control all the way to the right, the
lamps will remain on for approximately three minutes
after the ignition has been turned to OFF or LOCK. If
you move the control so it is just on, the lamps will go
off quickly when you turn the ignition switch out of
RUN. You can adjust the delay time from only a few
seconds to three minutes.
If it's dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
control is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message
will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
This message informs the driver that turning on the
exterior lamps is recommended (it's become dark
enough outside to require the headlamps and/or other
exterior lamps). Turning on the Twilight Sentinel, the
headlamp switch or the fog lamp switch will remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message.

Light Sensor
The light sensor for the DRL and the Twilight Sentinel
is located in the center of the front defogger grille. If
you cover the sensor, it will read ªdarkº and the lamps
will come on.
Exterior Lighting Battery Saver
If the manual parking lamp control has been left on, the
exterior lamps will turn off approximately 10 minutes
after the ignition is turned to LOCK or ACCESSORY.
This protects draining the battery in case you have
accidentally left the headlamps or parking lamps on. If
you need to purposely leave the lamps on for more than
10 minutes with the ignition in LOCK or ACCESSORY,
turn the manual control knob off and then back on. To
delay the lamps from turning off, see ªTwilight
Sentinelº in the Index.
Interior Lamps
Instrument Panel Intensity/Brightness
Control
The digital displays automatically dim when it becomes
dark outside and your lights are on. When it's dark, the
brightness control can be manually adjusted by turning
the lamp control knob counterclockwise to dim and
clockwise to brighten the lighting. The digital displays
automatically brighten when it becomes light outside,
although backlighting will remain active at the selected
brightness as long as the lights are on.

3-10 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the
AUTO/ECON button to assist in cooling air and in
maintaining proper airflow. Adjust the temperature to a
comfortable setting by pressing the blue button to cool
your vehicle and pressing the red button to warm your
vehicle. Press the fan button arrows up or down to adjust
the fan speed.
If your vehicle has a console climate control panel
(which is standard with the analog cluster), press the AC
button or the TEMP/AUTO knob to turn the system on.
The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the
vehicle. Also while in the AUTO mode, the system will
use recirculation as necessary to cool the air. You may
also need to adjust the interior temperature and the fan
speed as needed.
When the air conditioner is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes in your vehicle's engine speed
and power. This is normal because the system is
designed to cycle the compressor on and off to
keep the desired temperature.
Heating
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the
AUTO/ECON button to direct airflow and to help save
fuel. Adjust the temperature, if necessary, by pressing
the blue button to decrease temperature and pressing the
red button to increase temperature. Also remember to
adjust the fan speed by pressing the up or down arrow.
If your vehicle has a console climate control panel
(which is standard with the analog cluster), press the
MODE button to select heater. Adjust the interior
temperature to a comfortable level and if the fan speed
needs adjusting, press the up or down arrow.
With each system, outside air will be brought in and sent
through the floor, air conditioning or bi
-level outlets
(depending on the condition). The heater works best if
you keep your windows closed while using it.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use defog (digital cluster climate
control panel only) to keep the windshield and side
windows clear. Use defrost to remove fog or ice from
the windshield quickly in extremely humid or
cold conditions.

Towing Your Vehicle
CAUTION:
To help avoid serious personal injury to you
or others:
Never let passengers ride in a vehicle that is
being towed.
Never tow faster than safe or posted speeds.
Never tow with damaged parts not
fully secured.
Never get under your vehicle after it has
been lifted by the tow truck.
Always secure the vehicle on each side with
separate safety chains when towing it.
Use only the correct hooks.
NOTICE:
Use the proper towing equipment to avoid
damage to the bumper, fascia or fog lamp areas
of the vehicle.
With current trends in automotive styles and design, it is
essential that the correct towing equipment is used to
tow a vehicle. Your vehicle can be towed with wheel
-lift
or car
-carrier equipment.
Consult your dealer or a professional towing service if
you need to have your vehicle towed. See ªRoadside
Assistanceº in the Index.
Engine Overheating
You will find an ENGINE COOLANT HOT, IDLE
ENGINE message or an ENGINE OVERHEATED,
STOP ENGINE message on the Driver Information
Center (DIC). You will also hear a chime. There is also
an engine temperature warning light and/or gage on the
instrument panel. See ªEngine Coolant Temperature
Warning Lightº or ªEngine Coolant Temperature Gageº
in the Index.
