Turn and Lane-Change Signals
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
The lever returns automatically when the turn is
complete.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster will ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.
Raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to ash to
signal a lane change. Hold it there until the lane
change is complete. The lever returns to its original
position when it’s released.
Arrows that ash rapidly when signaling for a turn or
lane change may be caused by a burned-out signal bulb.
Other driver’s won’t see the signal.
Replace burned-out bulbs to help avoid possible
accidents. Check the fuse and for burned-out bulbs if
the arrow fails to work when signaling a turn. SeeFuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-105for more
information.
Turn Signal On Chime
If the turn signal is left on for about 1 mile (1.6 km),
a warning chime will sound and the Turn Signal

Rainsense™ II Wipers
If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is
mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror. It is used to automatically operate the
wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on
the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the
windshield depending on driving conditions and the
sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will
occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more
frequently. The Rainsense™ wipers operate in a delay
mode as well as a continuous low or high speed as
needed. If the system is left on for long periods of time,
occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on the
windshield. This is normal and indicates that the
Rainsense™ system is activated.
To activate the Rainsense™ system, turn the wiper
band to delay mode and select one of the four sensitivity
levels indicated on the wiper stalk. The position
closest to off is the lowest sensitivity setting, level one.
This allows more rain or snow to collect on the
windshield between wipes. Turning the wiper band away
from you to higher sensitivity levels increases the
sensitivity of the system and frequency of wipes.The highest sensitivity setting, level four, is closest to
low. A single wipe will occur each time you turn the
wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that
the sensitivity level has been increased.
Notice:Going through an automatic car wash with
the wipers on can damage them. Turn the wipers
off when going through an automatic car wash.
The mist and wash cycles operate as normal and are
not affected by the Rainsense™ function. The
Rainsense™ system can be overridden at any time by
manually turning the wiper band to low or high speed.
When Rainsense™ is active, the headlamps will turn on
automatically. The headlamps will turn off again once
the wipers turn off if it is light enough outside. If it
is dark, they will remain on. SeeWiper Activated
Headlamps on page 3-35.
Notice:Do not place stickers or other items on
the exterior glass surface directly in front of
the moisture sensor. Doing this could cause the
moisture sensor to malfunction.

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. Move the cruise control switch to on.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press in the set button at the end of the lever and
release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
This light on the instrument
panel cluster will come on
while cruise control is on.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course,
disengages the cruise control. But you don’t need to
reset it.
Once you’re going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you
can move the cruise control switch briey from on to
resume/accelerate.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the vehicle
will keep going faster until you release the switch or
apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don’t
hold the switch at resume/accelerate.
3-17

Ending Cruise Control
To end a cruise control session, step lightly on the
brake pedal.
Stepping on the brake pedal will end the current cruise
control session only. Move the cruise control switch
to off to turn off the system completely.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Adaptive Cruise Control
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read this
entire section before using it.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Adaptive Cruise Control is an enhancement to traditional
cruise control and is not a safety system. It allows you to
keep cruise control engaged in moderate traffic
conditions without having to constantly reset your cruise
control. Adaptive Cruise Control uses radar to detect a
vehicle directly ahead in your path, within a distance of
328 ft (100 m), and operates at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h). When it is engaged by the driver, the
system can apply limited braking or acceleration of the
vehicle, automatically, to maintain a selected follow
distance to the vehicle ahead. The vehicle’s braking
during Adaptive Cruise Control is comparable to a person
applying moderate pressure to the vehicle’s brake pedal.
3-19

Approaching and Following a Vehicle
The vehicle ahead symbol
will only appear on the
HUD when a vehicle ahead
is detected in your path.
If this symbol does not appear, or disappears briey,
Adaptive Cruise Control will not respond to vehicles you
may see ahead.
{CAUTION:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is
blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect
a vehicle ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control may
not have time to slow your vehicle enough to
avoid a collision. Do not use Adaptive Cruise
Control when the radar is blocked by snow,
ice, or dirt. Keep your radar clean. See
“Cleaning the System” later in this section.Adaptive Cruise Control will, automatically, slow your
vehicle down when approaching a slower moving vehicle.
It will then adjust your speed to follow the vehicle in front
at the selected follow distance. Your speed will increase
or decrease to follow the vehicle in front of you but will not
exceed the set speed. It may apply limited braking, if
necessary. When braking is active, your brake lights will
come on. It may feel or sound different than if you were
applying the brakes yourself. This is normal.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{CAUTION:
Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and
react to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or
other objects ahead of you. You could crash
into an object ahead of you. Do not use
Adaptive Cruise Control when approaching
stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other
objects.

symbol on it to operate the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp control has four positions:
O(On/Off):Turn the control to this position to turn off
all lamps and automatic lighting features including
Daytime Running Lamps and IntelliBeam™.
This is a “momentary” switch that will spring back to the
AUTO position when released. An AUTOMATIC
LIGHTS ON message will appear on the DIC when
automatic lights are enabled or an AUTOMATIC LIGHTS
OFF message will appear on the DIC when the
automatic lights are disabled.AUTO (Automatic):Turn the control to this position to
put the headlamps in automatic mode. AUTO mode,
if enabled, will turn the exterior lamps on and off
depending upon how much light is available outside of
the vehicle.
Due to the “momentary” switch design, your automatic
lights may be disabled even if you are in AUTO position.
To enable automatic lighting do any of the following:
Turn the headlamp control from AUTO to off
and release the switch. It will return back to
the AUTO position by itself.

listed lamps and lights.
IntelliBeam™ Intelligent High-Beam
Headlamp Control System
If your vehicle has this feature, be sure to read this
entire section before using it.
IntelliBeam™ is an enhancement to your vehicle’s
headlamp system. Using a digital light sensor on your
rearview mirror, this system will turn the vehicle’s
high-beam headlamps on and off according to
surrounding traffic conditions.
The IntelliBeam™ system will turn your high-beam
headlamps on when it is dark enough, there is no other
traffic present, and the IntelliBeam™ system is
enabled.
Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam™
AUTO3(IntelliBeam™ On/Off):Press and release
the IntelliBeam™ button on the inside rear view
mirror. The IntelliBeam™ indicator on the mirror turn on
to let you know the system has been turned on.
Once the system has been turned on, it will remain on
each time the vehicle is started. Additionally, the
IntelliBeam™ system must be enabled.
To enable the IntelliBeam™ System, turn the exterior
lamp control to AUTO, with the turn signal/multifunction
lever in its neutral position. The High-Beam On Light
will appear on the instrument panel cluster when
the high-beams are on. SeeHighbeam On Light on
page 3-72. Your vehicle is equipped with variable
intensity high-beams. The high-beam indicator on the
instrument panel will illuminate as soon as the
high-beams start to come on, and will remain on until
the high-beams have completely turned off. All
IntelliBeam™ equipped vehicles, however, will quickly
turn off the high-beams if the system detects the sudden
presence of vehicle lights ahead.
