To operate the power tilt feature, push the control up
and the steering wheel will tilt up. Push the control down
and the steering wheel will go down.
Push the control forward and the steering wheel moves
toward the front of the vehicle. Push the control
rearward and the steering wheel moves toward the rear
of the vehicle. To set the memory position, seeDIC
Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73andMemory Seat,
Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-54.

+ (Resume/Accelerate):Move the lever to this symbol
to make the vehicle accelerate or resume to a
previously set speed.
T(Set):Press this button to set the speed.
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 can really help on long
trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below
about 25 mph (40 km/h).
Cruise control will not work if your parking brake is set,
or if the master cylinder brake uid level is low.
If you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off.
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
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 (if equipped) begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control will automatically disengage. See
Traction Control System (TCS) on page 5-8. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
turn cruise control back on.

{CAUTION:
Adaptive Cruise Control will not apply hard
braking or bring the vehicle to a complete
stop. It will not respond to stopped vehicles,
pedestrians or animals. When you are
approaching a vehicle or object, Adaptive
Cruise Control may not have time to slow your
vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Your
complete attention is always required while
driving and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes. For more information,
seeDefensive Driving on page 5-2.
{CAUTION:
On winding roads, Adaptive Cruise Control
may not detect a vehicle ahead. You
could crash into a vehicle ahead of you.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control on
winding roads.
In heavy stop-and-go traffic, Adaptive
Cruise Control may not have time to slow
your vehicle enough to avoid a collision
because of the rapidly changing traffic
conditions. Do not use Adaptive Cruise
Control in heavy stop-and-go traffic.
On slippery roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Do
not use cruise control on slippery roads.
When visibility is low, such as in fog, rain
or snow, Adaptive Cruise Control
performance is limited. There may not be
enough distance to adapt to the changing
traffic conditions. Do not use cruise
control when visibility is low.

Selecting the Follow Distance (GAP)
When the system detects a slower moving vehicle, it will
adjust your vehicle’s speed and maintain the follow
distance (gap) you select.
Use the GAP button on
the steering wheel to
adjust the follow distance.
Press the top of the button to increase the distance or
the bottom of the button to decrease the distance.
The rst button press will show you the current follow
distance setting on the HUD. Your current follow
distance setting will be maintained until you change it.
There are six follow distances to choose from. The follow
distance selection ranges from near to far (1 second to
2 seconds follow time). The distance maintained for a
selected follow distance will vary based on vehicle speed.The faster the vehicle speed the further back you will
follow. Consider traffic and weather conditions when
selecting the follow distance. The range of selectable
distances may not be appropriate for all drivers and
driving conditions. If you choose to travel at a distance
farther than Adaptive Cruise Control allows, disengage
the system and drive manually.
A graphic on the HUD indicates the selected follow
distance. This picture shows a maximum follow distance.
The vehicles will move closer as you select a smaller
follow distance.

The HUD controls are
located to the left of the
steering wheel.
+
!- (Brightness):This button is used to adjust the
brightness of the HUD and the instrument panel cluster.
DIMMER:This button is used to select the HUD or
the instrument panel cluster to adjust the brightness.
HUD:This button is used to adjust the vertical position
of the HUD display.To adjust the HUD so you can see it properly, do the
following:
1. Adjust the seat to a comfortable driving position. If
you change your seat position later, you may have
to re-adjust your HUD.
2. Start your engine and press the top or bottom
of the HUD button to center the HUD image in
your view.
The HUD image can only be adjusted up and down,
not side-to-side.
3. Press the DIMMER button until the DIC reads HUD
DIMMING. Then use the brightness button to adjust
the desired intensity.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by the
light conditions in the direction your vehicle is facing
and where you have the HUD set. If you are facing a
dark object or a heavily shaded area, your HUD
may anticipate that you are entering a dark area and
may begin to dim.
To turn off the HUD, press the brightness button down
until the image disappears.
Polarized sunglasses could make the HUD image
harder to see.

DIC Vehicle Personalization
Your vehicle is equipped with personalization capabilities
that allows you to program certain features to a
preferred setting for up to two drivers. The back of the
keyless access transmitters are labelled 1 or 2.
The current driver’s preferences are recalled when one
of the following occurs:
The lock or unlock button on the keyless access
transmitter, programmed as 1 or 2, is pressed.
The appropriate memory button, 1 or 2, located on
the driver’s seat is pressed. SeeMemory Seat,
Mirrors and Steering Wheel on page 2-54for more
information.
A valid keyless access transmitter is detected upon
opening the driver’s door.
If more than one valid keyless access transmitter is
detected upon opening the driver’s door, the driver
preferences for the lowest driver number will be recalled.
If a keyless access transmitter is programmed
as #3 or #4, the personalization system will not recognize
the transmitter. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will
not display a current driver number and the features that
are normally programmed through the DIC will be set to
the default states.Also, if the OPTIONS button is pressed, the DIC does not
display the menus used to set personalizations, but
instead displays OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE for a few
seconds.
Feature Programming
To change feature preferences, make sure the vehicle
is running and in PARK (P). Press the OPTIONS
button and the Driver Information Center (DIC) will
display the current driver for a few seconds, then display
the rst personalization menu item. You can now use
the OPTIONS button to change the setting of the
displayed feature. Press the top or bottom of the
information button to scroll up or down the list of
features. When you get to a feature you want to change,
press the OPTIONS button again. When you are
nished, press the RESET button to exit the
personalization menu. If no button is pressed within
45 seconds, the DIC will exit the personalization menu.
The following are DIC options that will be available
in the personalization menu.
