Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When
you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow
down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on
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 Conn&ro11
There are two ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move
the CRUISE switch to OW.
Erasing Spee
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn off the cruise control or the ignition.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When the twilight sentinel switch is on and it’s dark
enough outside, the high-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 high-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 I!DMDLMS SUGGESTED message
will display on the
DTC. This message informs the driver
that turning on
the exterior lamps is recommended even
though the DIU 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 DWL off, turn off the
twilight sentinel
switch and shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the Dm. The DRL will stay off until you shift out of
PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp
system when you need it.
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 switch on the high-beam headlamps, the fog
lamps will turn off. They’ll
turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
?%%en
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.
s
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking
lamps are on and you signal a turn. They
provide more light
for cornering.

.. The 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 rninutes
after the ignition has been turned to the OFF or
LOCK
position. 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
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The light sensor for the DRL and the twilight sentinel is
located in the center of
the fiont defogger grrlle. pf you cover
the sensor, it will read “dark”
and the lamps will come on.
If the manual park 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
accidently
left the headlamps or parkmg lamps on. If
you need to purposely leave the Imps on for more than
10 minutes, use the manual control knob to turn the
lamps back on.
To delay the lamps from turning off, see
“Twilight Sentinel” earlier in this section. Cluster lighting
as well
as instrument panel lighting
automatically dims when it becomes dark outside.
When it’s dark,
the brightness control can be manually
adjusted. Cluster lighting and instrument panel lighting
automatically brighten when it becomes light outside.
The illuminated entry system
turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and
to
the lamp contr~l knob when a door is opened or if you
press a RKE transmitter button. Since the illuminated
entry system has
a photocell, this means that it must
be dark outside
in order for the courtesy lamps or
backlighting
to turn on. The courtesy lamps turn off
approximately 20 seconds after the last door is closed or
after the ignition key
is placed in the ignition.
This feature prohibits the dimming of the instrument
panel lights during daylight while
the headlamps are on.
This feature operates with the light sensor for the
twilight sentinel and is fully automatic. When the light
sensor reads darkness outside,
the instrument panel
lights can
be adjusted. Backlighting to the instrument
panel will
also turn on.

indicator.
A CHANGE TRANS FLUID message will
display on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) when
the powertrain computer determines that the transaxle
fluid needs to be changed or at each
100,080 miles
(160 080 km) interval, whichever occurs first. See your
Maintenance Schedule booklet for more information.
When this message appears, change the transaxle fluid
and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
I. Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the OFF and rear defog buttons on the
climate control at the same time until the
TRANS

The cooling s stern in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain
in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 km) whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL‘ extended life coolant.

The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when
it is low. If YOU have a problem with
engine overheating, see “Engine Overheating”
in
the Index.
A 50/50 mixture of water and DEX-COOL@
coolant will:
@ Give freezing protection down to -34” F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 265 OF (1 29°C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights and gages work as
they should.
When adding coolant, it is important that you use
only DEX-COOL~ (silicate-free) coolant.
If coolant other than DEX-COOL@is added t~
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the
engine coolant
will require change SOQWW 0- at
34b,8(Bo miles (50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever CD~CUP’S first. Damage caused
of coolant other than
