Turn Signal On Chime
A chime sounds if the turn signal has been on
3/4 of a mile (1.2 km). Move the turn signal lever to off.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high beam,
push the lever toward the instrument panel. To return
to low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever
toward you. Then release it.
When the high beams are
on, this indicator light on
the instrument panel cluster
will also be on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets high-beam headlamps be used to
signal to a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if the headlamps are in the automatic
position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then
release it.
If the headlamps are in the automatic position or on
low beam, the high-beam headlamps turn on. They
will stay on as long as the lever is held toward you.
The high-beam indicator on the instrument panel
cluster comes on. Release the lever to return to
normal operation.

Setting Cruise Control
1. Move the cruise control switch toR.
2. Get up to the desired speed.
3. Press
Tat the end of the lever and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Some vehicles have
a cruise light on the
instrument panel cluster
that will come on when the
cruise control is engaged.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then
the brake is applied, this shuts off the cruise control.
But it does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle is going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, move the cruise control switch briey from
RtoS.
The vehicle returns to the previously chosen speed
and stays there.If the switch is held on resume/accelerate, the vehicle
keeps going faster until the switch is released or
the brakes are applied. So unless you want the vehicle
to go faster, do not hold the switch at resume/accelerate.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the desired
speed. Press
Tat the end of the lever, then
release the button and the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle will now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch fromRtoS. Hold it there
until the vehicle reaches the desired speed and
then release the switch. To increase the vehicle
speed in small amounts, move the switch briey
to resume/accelerate. Each time this is done,
the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
PressTat the end of the lever until the desired
speed is reached, then release it. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
3-12

Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed 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 may want to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to
keep your speed down. When the brakes are applied the
cruise control will disengage.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Move the cruise switch to9.
Shift the transmission to N (Neutral).
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.
Headlamps
The exterior lamps knob is
located on the instrument
panel.
c(Off):Turn the knob to this symbol and release
it to turn off the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) and the
Automatic Headlamps (AHS). An indicator is lit when the
position is selected. This position is not available for
vehicles rst sold in Canada.

as well as the following:
Sidemarker Lamps
Taillamps

Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder tone sounds when the headlamps or parking
lamps are manually turned on, if the driver’s door is open
and the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or ACC/ACCESSORY.
To turn the tone off, turn the knob all the way
counterclockwise.
In the automatic mode, the headlamps turn off once the
ignition key is in LOCK/OFF.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional DRL are required on all vehicles rst
sold in Canada.
The DRL system makes the headlamps come on at
reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps knob is in automatic
headlamp mode.
The light sensor detects daytime light.
The transmission is not in P (Park).
When the DRL are on, only the headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lights
and other lamps will not be on.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps automatically
switch from DRL to the regular headlamps.
3-14

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the Automatic
Headlamp System turns on the headlamps when the
vehicle is started and after the transmission has been
shifted out of the P (Park) position. The headlamps,
taillamps, sidemarker, and parking lamps will come on.
The instrument panel lights and radio lights will also turn
on at normal brightness. Once on, the system remains on
during these conditions even if the vehicle is shifted back
into P (Park).
The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the
instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor or the
system may come on whenever the ignition is on
and the vehicle is shifted out of the P (Park) position.
The system could also turn on the lamps when driving
through a parking garage, heavy overcast weather
or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL) and the automatic headlamp systems, so thatdriving under bridges or bright overhead street lights does
not affect the system. The DRL and automatic headlamp
system are only affected when the light sensor sees a
change in lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic
headlamp system comes on after the transmission
is shifted out of P (Park). Once the vehicle leaves the
garage, it takes about one minute for the automatic
headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside.
During that delay, the instrument panel cluster might
not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument
panel brightness control is in the full bright position.
If the vehicle is running and the automatic headlamp
system is already on, it can be turned off by turning
and releasing the headlamp control at the off position.
The automatic headlamp system stays off until you
turn and release the headlamp control at the off position
again. SeeHeadlamps on page 3-13.

Fog Lamps
For vehicles with fog lamps, the button is located on the
instrument panel to the right of the exterior lamps knob.

conditions.
The ignition must be in ON/RUN for the fog lamps
to work.
#:Press to turn the fog lamps on or off. An indicator
light turns on near the button while the fog lamps are on.
Fog lamps turn off whenever the high-beam headlamps
are on.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to
be on along with the fog lamps.

next to the exterior lamps
knob to extend it.
Turn the knob to adjust the instrument panel lights.
Turn the knob all the way up to turn on the interior
lamps. Press the knob back into its stored position
when you are not using it.

to unlock the vehicle.
Press the button again to return the lamps to automatic
operation. The dome lamps will come on when a
door is opened.
Entry Lighting
The vehicle has entry lighting.
When any door is opened, the dome lamps come
on as long as the dome override lamp override button
is not pressed in. When all the doors are closed, the
lamps stay on for a short period of time and then turn off
automatically. If you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter to unlock the vehicle, the interior lamps come
on for a short time whether or not the dome lamp override
is on.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps come on when you
remove the key from the ignition. If the dome override
is off, these lamps stay on for a short period of time
and then go out.
