TABLE OF CONTENTS

While ACC with Stop is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if the driver seatbelt is unbuckled
or the driver door is opened, the ACC with Stop system will cancel and the brakes will
ramp-out. Driver intervention will be required at this moment.
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed Speed)
Speed Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the system will
maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, press the ADAPTIVE CRUISECONTROL (ACC) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed
Control OFF.
• Pressing the normal (Fixed Speed) SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF button will result in turning ON (changing to) the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
WARNING!
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of
road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead;
and, most importantly, brake operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under
all road conditions. Your complete attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision and death or serious personal injury.
• The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g.,a stopped vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be
limited upon adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in
wrong or missing distance warnings.
• Can only apply a maximum of 40% of the vehicle’s braking capability, and will
not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.

AUTOSTICK®
AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmis-
sion feature providing manual shift control,
giving you more control of the vehicle.
AutoStick® allows you to maximize engine
braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and
downshifts, and improve overall vehicle per-
formance. This system can also provide you
with more control during passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving,
trailer towing, and many other situations.
Operation
• When the transmission is in DRIVE, it will operate automatically, shifting between theeight available gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply tap one of the steering wheel-
mounted shift paddles (+/-). Tapping (-) to enter AutoStick® will downshift the transmis-
sion to the next lower gear, while using (+) to enter AutoStick® will retain the current gear.
When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is displayed in the instrument
cluster.
In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift up or down when (+/-) is manually selected
by the driver, unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition would result.
NOTE:
To disengage AutoStick® mode, press and hold the (+) shift paddle until "D" is once again
displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of AutoStick® mode at any time
without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels
could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or personal injury.

Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass manually.
When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic and the EVIC will display “CAL”
until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in an area
free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed in the EVIC
turns off. The compass will now function normally.
ECO
The ECO message will appear in your EVIC display whenever you are driving in a fuel
efficient manner.
This feature allows you to monitor when you are driving in a fuel efficient manner, and it can
be used to modify driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE — GASOLINE ENGINE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator
system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This
means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-
trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures, and E85 fuel usage will influence
when the “Oil Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause
the change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under “Instru-
ment Cluster Warning Lights” in “What To Do In Emergencies” in this guide or “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in your Owners
Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or
twelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road
environment. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering andtransmission as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following pages for required maintenance.
