Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about 18 months.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

2-44
Windshield Washer
The lever on the right side of the steering column also
controls the windshield washer. There is a pushbutton
at the end of the lever. To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the button and hold it. The washer
will spray until you release the button. The wipers will
continue to clear the window for about six seconds after
the button is released and then stop or return to your
preset speed.
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don't use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
If the fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir is
low, the message LOW WASHER FLUID will appear on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. It will take
60 seconds after the bottle is refilled for this message to
turn off. For information on the correct washer fluid
mixture to use, see ªWindshield Washer Fluidº and
ªRecommended Fluids and Lubricantsº in the Index.
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 can really help on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When using cruise control, the accelerator pedal will
return to its fully
-released position and will not move
while cruise control is engaged.

2-46
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set the cruise control at a desired speed and
then you apply the brake or clutch pedal. 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 to R/A
(Resume/Accelerate) briefly. The Driver Information
Center (DIC) will display the cruise set speed.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
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.
The speed will not begin to increase until sufficient
pedal travel is achieved. Push the SET button at the
end of the lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed.

Move the cruise switch to R/A. parkHold it there
until you get up to the speed you want, then release
the switch. (To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move the switch to R/A briefly, then
release it. Each time you do this, the vehicle will
go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display the
cruise set speed.Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce speed while using
cruise control:

Push in the SET button at the end of the lever until
you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.

To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET button briefly. Each time you do this,
you'll go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display the
cruise set speed.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase speed. When you
take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will slow down
to the cruise control speed you set earlier.

2-51 Inadvertent Load Control
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case the underhood lamp, vanity
mirror lamps, cargo lamps, reading lamps, console or
glove box lamps are accidentally left on. If you leave
any of these lamps on, they will automatically time out
after 15 minutes. To reset it, all of the above lamps must
be turned off or the ignition key must be in ON.
Mirrors
Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror
An inside rearview mirror is attached above the
windshield. The mirror has pivots so that you can
adjust it.
You can adjust the mirror for day or night driving.
Pull the tab for night driving to reduce glare.
Push the tab for daytime driving.
Power/Heated Remote Control Mirrors
The electric mirror control is on the driver's door. It
controls the driver's and passenger's mirrors. To adjust
either mirror, press the LT (left) or RT (right) button to
select the mirror, then press the arrows to adjust the
direction of the mirror. The selected mirror will stay on
for 20 seconds after the last adjustment. An indicator
light will come on above the mirror that you select.
Your preferred mirror position can be stored if you have
the memory option. See ªMemoryº in the Index.
For operation of the heated outside mirrors,
see ªRear Window Defoggerº in the Index.

2-77 Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, the light will come
on when you start your
engine and may stay on
for several seconds.
That's normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
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 ªBrake System
Warning Lightº earlier in this section. Also see
ªSERVICE ABSº under ªDriver Information
Center (DIC) Messagesº 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.
Traction Control System (TCS) Light
This light should come on
briefly as you start the
engine. If the light doesn't
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you if there's a problem.
If it stays on, or comes on and the DIC shows a
SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM message when you're
driving, there's a problem with your TCS system and
your vehicle needs service. When this light is on, the
system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly. If the driver turns off the Traction Control
System by pressing the button on the console, the
TCS system light will come on and the TRACTION
SYSTEM OFF message will show on the DIC.

2-78
Active Handling System Light
If your vehicle has the
optional Active Handling
System, this light will come
on briefly as you start the
engine. If the light does not
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn
you if there is a problem.
The light will also come on while the system warms up
and the ACT HNDLING WARMING UP message will
be displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
If it stays on or comes on while you are driving, the DIC
shows a SERVICE ACTIVE HNDLG message and a
chime sounds, there is a problem with your Active
Handling System and your vehicle needs service. The
driver can acknowledge this message by pressing the
RESET button. When the SERVICE ACTIVE HNDLG
message is displayed, the Active Handling System will
not assist you in controlling the vehicle. You should
have the system serviced as soon as possible. Adjust
your driving accordingly.When the system is working, you will see the ACTIVE
HANDLING message displayed in the DIC. You may
also feel or hear the system working. This is normal.
If the driver turns off the Active Handling System by
pressing the button on the console, the Active Handling
System light will come on, a chime will sound, and the
TRAC/ACT HNDLG OFF message will be displayed in
the DIC. The Traction Control System will also be
turned off. See ªDriver Information Center Messagesº
in the Index for more information.
If the Active Handling System and the Traction Control
System are off, pressing the console button momentarily
will turn both systems on. The DIC will display the
TRAC/ACT HNDLG ON message, the instrument
cluster light will be off, and a chime will sound. See
ªDriver Information Center Messagesº in the Index
for more information.

2-84
Fuel Gage
Your fuel gage tells you
about how much fuel
you have left when the
ignition is on.
When the needle approaches the red zone, RESERVE
FUEL will appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) display. When the needle approaches the ªE,º
LOW FUEL will appear on the display. At this time,
you still have a little fuel left, but you should get
more soon.
Press RESET to acknowledge a DIC message(s).
Pressing RESET will also turn off a DIC message but
the LOW FUEL message will come on again in
10 minutes if you have not added fuel to the vehicle.Here are four things that some owners ask about.
All these things are normal and do not indicate that
anything is wrong with the fuel gage.

At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads FULL (F).

It takes more (or less) fuel to fill up than the gage
reads. For example, the gage reads half full, but it
took more (or less) than half of the tank's capacity to
fit it.

The gage pointer may move while cornering, braking
or speeding up.

The gage may not indicate EMPTY (E) when the
ignition is turned off.
You can use the Driver Information Center (DIC) to
display more detailed fuel information. Each time you
press FUEL, one of the following will appear in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).

AVERAGE: The fuel economy calculated for the
current tank of fuel, or since you last reset the display.

INST: The fuel economy calculated for your current
driving conditions.

RANGE: The distance you can drive before refueling.

BLANK: The fuel gage is displayed alone.

2-85
You should reset the fuel information display every
time you refuel. To reset the display, press FUEL until
AVERAGE appears. Then, press RESET on the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
Head-Up Display (Option)
CAUTION:
If the HUD image is too bright, or too high in
your field of view, it may take you more time to
see things you need to see when it's dark outside.
Be sure to keep the HUD image dim and placed
low in your field of view.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Head-Up Display
(HUD), you can see some of the driver information that
appears on your instrument panel cluster.The information may be displayed in English or metric
units and appears as an image focused out toward the
front of your vehicle. The HUD consists of the
following information:

Speedometer

Turn Signal Indicators

High
-Beam Indicator Symbol

Tachometer

Oil, Temperature and Fuel Gages

Shift Light (Performance SHIFT Light)
This light is used for performance driving to indicate
that the vehicle's best performance level has been
reached to shift the transmission into the next higher
gear. The SHIFT light will display at an engine
speed of about 5,750 rpm, just prior to reaching the
engine fuel cut
-off mode. To better understand the
vehicle's power curves, see ªCapacities and
Specificationsº in the Index.
