Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of about 40 km (25 mph) or
more can be maintained without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds
below 40 km (25 mph).
The brake must be applied at least one time, after the
vehicle has been started, before cruise control will
function.
{WARNING:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use the 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
{WARNING:
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.

system is engaged.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. When the brakes are applied or the clutch pedal is
used, the cruise control shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control automatically disengages. See
Traction
Control System (TCS)
on page 5‑9and Enhanced
Traction System (ETS)on page 5‑11. When road
conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed
and then the brake is applied. This disengages the
cruise control. To return to the previously set speed,
it is not necessary to go through the set process again.
Once the vehicle is going about 40 km (25 mph) or
more, press the RES+ part of the button briefly.
The vehicle goes back to the previously set speed.

There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the automatic lamp control
system so that driving under bridges or bright overhead
street lights does not affect the system. The automatic
lamp control system will only be affected when the light
sensor sees a change in lighting lasting longer than
this delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
lamp system turns on immediately. Once the vehicle
exits the garage, it will take about 20 seconds for the
automatic lamp system to change to DRL if it is light
outside. During that delay, the instrument panel
cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright
position. SeeInstrument Panel Brightness
on
page 4‑14.
To idle the vehicle with the system off, turn the ignition
on and turn the exterior light switch to the off/on
position. For vehicles first sold in Canada, the
transmission must stay in P (Park) for this function
or the parking brake must be set for vehicles with
manual transmissions.
Turn on the regular headlamps when they are needed.
Fog Lamps
For vehicles with fog lamps, the button is located on the
instrument panel, to the right of the steering wheel.
The ignition must be on to use the fog lamps.
#: Press to turn the fog lamps on and off. An indicator
light on the button comes on when the fog lamps
are on.
The parking lamps automatically turn on and off when
the fog lamps are turned on and off.
The fog lamps will turn off while the high-beam
headlamps are turned on.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to
be on along with the fog lamps.
4-13

Instrument Panel Brightness
The control for this feature
is located to the right of
the steering wheel and
above the radio.
Move the thumbwheel to the left to dim the lights or to
the right to brighten the lights.
The dome lamps will turn on when the thumbwheel is
moved completely to the right.
Dome Lamp
The dome lamps turn on when any door is opened.
To turn on all dome lamps with the doors closed, turn
the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel completely
to the right. See Instrument Panel Brightness
on
page 4‑14.
Entry/Exit Lighting
The lamps inside the vehicle turn on when any door
is opened. These lamps will fade out after about
20 seconds after all of the doors have been closed or
when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN. These lamps
will also turn on when pressing the unlock symbol
button or the horn symbol on the keyless entry system
transmitter.
The lamps inside the vehicle will stay on for about
20 seconds after the key is removed from the ignition
to provide an illuminated exit.
Reading Lamps
There are reading lamps located on the front and rear
dome lamps.
To turn the front reading lamps on or off, press the lamp
lens. To turn the rear reading lamps on or off, press the
button next to the lamp.

Enhanced Traction System (ETS)
Indicator/Warning Light
For vehicles with the
Enhanced Traction
System (ETS), this light
serves as an indicator
and warning light.
This light comes on briefly while the engine is started.
If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/
retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator
light then goes off. If the indicator/warning light is on and not flashing, the
ETS system could have been disabled. Check all
related Driver Information Center (DIC) messages to
determine whether the system has been turned off or if
the system is not working properly and the vehicle
requires service. If the ETS has been disabled, wheel
spin is not limited.
If the indicator/warning light is on and flashing, the ETS
is actively working. The LOW TRACTION DIC message
also appears when the system is actively limiting
wheel spin.
See
Enhanced Traction System (ETS)
on page 5‑11andDIC Warnings and Messageson page 4‑48for
more information.
4-32

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)/
Traction Control System (TCS)
Indicator/Warning Light
The Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system
or the Traction Control
System (TCS)
indicator/warning light
comes on briefly when
the engine is started.
If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by the dealer/
retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator
light goes off.
This light, along with the appropriate Driver Information
Center (DIC) messages, indicates when the ESC
system and the TCS are working or are disabled. If the light comes on and stays on, the TCS and
potentially the ESC system have been disabled.
Check the DIC messaging to determine which system
is turned off, or not working. If the system is not
working, the vehicle needs service. See your
dealer/retailer.
When the TCS is disabled, wheel spin is not limited.
When the ESC system is disabled, the system does
not aid in maintaining vehicle directional control.
If the light comes on and flashes, the TCS or the ESC
system is actively working. When the LOW TRACTION
message appears, the system is limiting wheel spin.
When the ESC ACTIVE message appears, the system
is aiding in maintaining vehicle directional control.
See
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
on page 5‑6andTraction Control System (TCS)on page 5‑9for
more information.
See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 4‑48for
more information on the messages associated with
this light.
