Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more 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 cruise control is on, you will see
a CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster.
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control
shuts off.
{CAUTION:
·Cruise control can be dangerous where
you can not drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
·
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause needless
wheel spinning, and you could lose control.
Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. See
Traction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn
the cruise control back on.
3-13

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.
The buttons to operate cruise control are located on the
steering wheel.1. Press CRUISE ON/OFF, located on the bottom left
of the steering wheel, to turn cruise control on. An
indicator light will come on to show that the
cruise control is on.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press SET/CST (coast) located on the bottom right
of the steering wheel. The CRUISE light will display
on the instrument panel cluster.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This shuts off the
cruise control. But you don't need to reset it.
Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more, you can press RES/ACC
(resume/accelerate) to return to your desired preset
speed. The CRUISE light will be displayed again.
The vehicle will return to and stay at your preset speed.
If you press and hold RES/ACC, the vehicle speed
will increase until you release the button or apply the
brake. Unless you want to go faster, do not press
and hold RES/ACC.
3-14

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. Press SET/CST, then release it and
the accelerator pedal. You will now cruise at the
higher speed.
·Press RES/ACC. Hold it there until you get up to
the speed that you want, and then release it. To
increase your speed in very small amounts, brie¯y
press RES/ACC and then release it. Each time
you do this, your vehicle will speed up
approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pressing SET/CST.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
·Press SET/CST until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release it.
·To slow down in very small amounts, press
SET/CST brie¯y. Each time you do this, the vehicle
will slow down approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
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 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. Applying the
brake or shifting into a lower gear will take you out
of cruise control. If you need to apply the brake or shift
to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill
slope, you may not want to attempt to use your cruise
control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the brake
pedal or press CRUISE ON/OFF on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Security Light
For information regarding
this light, see
Theft-Deterrent Systems
on page 2-19.
Fog Lamp Light
This light will come on
when the fog lamps are in
use. It will go out when
the fog lamps are
turned off.
For more information about the fog lamps, see ªFog
Lampsº under
Exterior Lamps on page 3-16.
Lights On Reminder
This light comes on whenever the parking lamps are on
so that you know that your exterior lamps are on.
Cruise Control Light
This light comes on
whenever the cruise
control system is in use. It
will go out when the
system is turned off.
See ªCruise Controlº under
Turn Signal/Multifunction
Lever on page 3-9for more information.

Remember: Anti-lock doesn't change the time you need
to get your foot up to the brake pedal or always
decrease stopping distance. If you get too close to the
vehicle in front of you, you won't have time to apply
your brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops.
Always leave enough room up ahead to stop, even
though you have anti-lock brakes.
Using Anti-Lock
Don't pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal down
®rmly and let anti-lock work for you. You may hear
the anti-lock pump or motor operate, and feel the brake
pedal pulsate, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With anti-lock, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits
wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery
road conditions. The system operates only if it senses
that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. When this happens,
the system works the front brakes and reduces engine
power to limit wheel spin.
The TRACTION ENGAGED message will display on the
Driver Information Center when the traction control
system is limiting wheel spin. See
DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-56. You may feel or hear the
system working, but this is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
reengage the cruise control. See ªCruise Controlº under
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever on page 3-9.

Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if they
are cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
®ttings and clamps; replace as needed. Clean the
outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser.
To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test of
the cooling system and pressure cap is recommended
at least once a year.
Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts
as needed. Replace any components that have high
effort or excessive wear. Do not lubricate accelerator
and cruise control cables.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
cha®ng, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts,
including calipers, parking brake, etc. You may need to
have your brakes inspected more often if your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
