KEYLESS LOCK DELAY
This feature allows you to select whether the doors
automatically lock during normal vehicle exit. When
the ignition is turned off and all doors become closed,
the vehicle will determine how many keyless access
transmitters remain in the vehicle interior. If at least
one keyless access transmitter has been removed
from the interior of the vehicle, the doors will lock after
10 seconds.
For example, if there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the
other will be locked in. The keyless access transmitter
locked in the vehicle can still be used to start the vehicle
or unlock the doors, if needed. A person approaching
the outside of the locked vehicle without an authorized
keyless access transmitter, however, will not be able
to open the door, even with a transmitter in the vehicle.
You may temporarily disable the passive door
locking feature by pressing the door unlock switch for
three seconds on an open door. Passive door locking will
then remain disabled until a door lock switch is pressed or

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
PressTat the end of the lever until the lower
speed desired is reached, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briey
press
T. Each time this is done, the vehicle
goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your vehicle
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to the cruise control speed you
set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s speed. When
going downhill, you might have to brake to keep the
vehicle’s speed down. Applying the brake will turn off the
cruise control. If you need to apply the brake due to the
grade of the downhill slope, you might not want to attempt
to use the cruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise control.
Step lightly on the brake pedal. This will end the
current cruise control session.
Move the cruise control switch to9to turn off the
system completely.
Press the[button on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.

Using Adaptive Cruise Controls on Hills
and When Towing a Trailer
How well Adaptive Cruise Control works on hills and
while a trailer is being towed depends on your vehicle
speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the steepness
of the hills. It might not detect a vehicle in your lane while
driving on hills. While going up steep hills, you might want
to use the accelerator pedal to maintain your vehicle
speed. While going downhill and towing a trailer, you
might want to brake to keep your vehicle speed down.
Applying the brake disengages the system. You may
choose not to use Adaptive Cruise Control on steep
hills when towing a trailer.
Disengaging Adaptive Cruise Control
Apply the brake pedal or move the Adaptive Cruise
Control switch to off, to disengage the system. Adaptive
Cruise Control information does not appear on the
HUD while the system is not engaged.
Erasing Set Speed Memory
The set speed memory is erased when the Adaptive
Cruise Control switch or the ignition is turned off.
Other Messages
There are three messages that may appear on the DIC.
They are SERVICE RADAR CRUISE, RADAR CRUISE
NOT READY and CLEAN RADAR. These messages will
appear to indicate a problem with the Adaptive Cruise
Control. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-79
for more information.
Cleaning the System
The radar can become blocked by snow, ice, or dirt.
If this happens, turn off the engine and clean the emblem/
lens, located in the center of the front outside grille.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control in icy conditions,
or when visibility is low, such as in fog, rain or snow.
To clean the emblem/lens, wipe the surface with a soft
cloth. After cleaning the emblem/lens, engage the
Adaptive Cruise Control. If you are unable to do so,
see your dealer/retailer.
