only the outboard positions
in the rear seats are heated).
Push the button once for a high setting, twice for a low
setting, and a third time to turn
off the heated seat. The
LO setting warms the seatback and cushion until the seat
approximates body temperature. The
HI setting heats the
seat to a slightly higher temperature.
The heated seats can only be used when the ignition is
turned on. The heating elements in the seats
automatically
turn off when the vehicle’s ignition is
turned off.

With the ignition key in the ignition switch, you can turn
the key to four different positions:
OFF: This position lets you
turn
off the engine and
remove the key. It doesn’t
lock the steering wheel.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in OFF and you can’t
turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if
so, is it all the way in? Turn the key only with
your hand. Using a tool to force it could break
the key
or the ignition switch. If none of this
works, then your vehicle needs service.
- ~
ACC: This position lets you use things like the radio and
the windshield wipers when the engine is
off. Use ACC if
you must have your vehicle in motion while
the engine is
off (for example, if your vehicle is being pushed).
ON: This is the position for driving.
START This starts the engine.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
The following accessories on your vehicle may be used
for up to
10 minutes after the ignition key is turned from
ON to OFF:
Cellular Phone (If Equipped)
Radio
Power Windows
Steering Wheel Controls (If Equipped)
Express Sunroof (Option)
Power to these accessories stops after
10 minutes or if
any door is opened. If you want power for another
10 minutes, close all the doors, turn the ignition key to
ON and then back to OFF. If the cellular phone is being
used while Retained Accessory Power is in effect, the
timer is suspended (to avoid interruption of the call).
The timer resets to
10 minutes at the end of the call.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Resuming a Set Speed
Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then
applying the brake will end the cruise function.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can push up
on the cruise control switch RES/ACC
(Resume/Accelerate) for about half a second to reset.
This returns you to your desired preset speed. The cruise
telltale will come on.
Remember,
if you hold the switch at RES/ACC longer
than half
a second, the vehicle will accelerate until you
release the switch or apply the brake.
So unless you
want to
go faster, don’t hold the switch at RES/ACC.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed.
Push the cruise lever (SETKST) and then release the
lever and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at
the higher speed.
Push upward on RES/ACC. Hold it there until you
reach a desired speed and then release the switch.
(To increase your speed in very small amounts, press
up one second at a time. Each time you
do this, your
vehicle will
go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pushing downward on the
switch to SET/CST.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles per
hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h). The odometer
shows how
far your vehicle has been driven, in either miles
(used in the United States) or kilometers (used in Canada).\

You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has
to have a
new odometer installed. The new one may read the correct
mileage.
This is because your vehicle’s computer has
stored the mileage in memory.
Trip Odometer
There are two trip
odometers, which are indicated by Trip
A
and Trip B. Press the top
of the button
to reset the odometers. For
information on resetting these buttons, see “Control
Buttons”
in the Index.
Display Mode
This button is located between the trip odometer button
and the EnglishMetric display button. Press
DSPL
MODE to turn the backlighting and the digital speed
image on and off.
EnglisWetric Display
You can go back and forth
from English (miles) to
metric (kilometers) by
pressing this button.
In order to switch from one to the other, press the Ah3
portion of the button. By pressing this button, you can tell
how many miles you have traveled on either your Trip
A
or Trip B odometer since you last set the odometer back
to zero. Other readings such
as temperature, fuel and trip
odometer also go back and forth between English and metric.

light comes
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 regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock
brakes.
If the regular brake system warning light is also
on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a
problem with
your regular brakes. See “Brake System
Warning Light” in the Index.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Comfort Controls and Radio System Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings
as well as their radio
settings. For more information, see “Climate Control
Personalization” and “Radio Personalization” in
the Index.
The outside temperature is always available for display
when your vehicle is running unless an overriding
Driver Information Center message appears. You can
change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius by
pressing the ENGMET (EnglisWmetric) button on the
instrument panel. For more information on the Driver
Information Center, see “Driver Information Center
Messages” in the Index.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine
is
first stared after a short trip. In order to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may not update as quickly as
expected.
This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by vehicle speed.
