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 25 mph (40 km/h).
{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
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
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 cruise control
buttons are located on
the left side of the
steering wheel.

Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Headlamps
The lever on the left side of the steering column
operates the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp switch has the following
four positions:
2(Headlamps):This position turns on the
headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps.
;(Parking Lamps):This position turns on the
parking lamps and taillamps only.
AUTO (Automatic Headlamp System):This
position automatically turns on the Daytime
Running Lamps during daytime, and the
headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps at night.
P(Off/On):This position is the momentary
Off/On switch for the Automatic Headlamp System.
In Canada, this only works when the vehicles
with an automatic transaxle are in PARK (P) and
vehicles with a manual transaxle have the
parking brake set and the vehicle is not moving.
When operating in AUTO, a momentary turn of the
switch to off/on will turn off the Automatic
Headlamp System. An AUTO LIGHTS OFF
message will display on the driver information
center and a chime will sound. Rotating the switch
to off/on again will turn the Automatic Headlamp
System back on. An AUTO LIGHTS ON message
will display on the driver information center.
The Automatic Headlamp System is always turned
on at the beginning of an ignition cycle for
vehicles with manual transaxle.

indicator light on the cluster will come on when the
fog lamps are on. Push the button again to turn
the fog lamps off.
The parking lamps will automatically turn on and
off when the fog lamps are turned on and off.

headlamps are turned on.

headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.

wheel and above
the radio.

Here are four things that some owners ask about.
None of these show a problem with your fuel gage:
At the service station, the gas pump shuts off
before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll up than
the gage indicated. For example, the gage may
have indicated the tank was half full, but it
actually took a little more or less than half the
tank’s capacity to ll the tank.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner
or speed up.
The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you
turn off the ignition.
For your fuel tank capacity, seeCapacities and
Specifications on page 386.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Information Center (DIC).
The DIC display gives you the status of many of
your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used to
display driver personalization menu modes and
warning/status messages. All messages will appear
in the DIC display, located at the bottom of the
instrument panel cluster.
The DIC buttons are
located on the left side
of the steering wheel.
