Rear Window Wiper/Washer
This knob is located
on the instrument
panel below the
climate controls.
Z(Rear Wiper):To turn the rear wiper on,
turn the knob to either 1 or 2. For a slower
wiping speed, turn the knob to 1. For a faster
wiping speed, turn the knob to 2
0 (Off):To turn the wiper off, turn the knob to
this symbol.
=(Washer Fluid):To wash and wipe the window,
press the button within the knob with this symbol.
The rear window washer uses the same uid bottle
as the windshield washer. However, the rear
window washer will run out of uid before the
windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield
but not your rear windows, check the uid level.
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).
9(Off):This position
turns the system off.
R(On):This position activates the system.
+ (Resume/Accelerate):Move the lever to this
symbol to make the vehicle accelerate or resume
to a previously set speed.
rT(Set):Press this button to set the speed.

Security Light
This light will come on
briey when you turn
the key to START.
The light will stay on
until the engine starts.
If the ignition is turned on, and the light ashes,
the Passlock
®system has entered a tamper
mode. If the vehicle fails to start, seePasslock®
on page 100.
If the ignition is turned on, but the engine is not
running, the light should be on solid.
If the light comes on continuously while driving
and stays on, there may be a problem with
the Passlock
®system. Your vehicle will not be
protected by Passlock®, and you should see
your dealer.
Also, seeContent Theft-Deterrent on page 98for
additional information regarding the security light.
Cruise Control Light
This light comes on
whenever you set the
cruise control.
The light goes out when the cruise control is
turned off. SeeCruise Control on page 159for
more information.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes
on whenever
the high-beam
headlamps are on.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
on page 157for more information.

Remember: ABS does not change the time you
need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or
always decrease stopping distance. If you get too
close to the vehicle in front of you, you will not have
time to apply your brakes if that vehicle suddenly
slows or stops. Always leave enough room up
ahead to stop, even though you have ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake
pedal down rmly and let anti-lock work for you.
You may feel the brakes vibrate, or you may
notice some noise, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With ABS, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you
more than even the very best braking.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS)
that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful
in slippery road conditions. The system operates
only if it senses that any of the wheels are spinning
or beginning to lose traction. When this happens,
the system applies the brakes to limit wheel
spin and also reduces engine power. You may
feel or hear the system working, but this is normal.
The Traction Control System may operate on dry
roads under some conditions. When this happens,
you may notice a reduction in acceleration or a
pumping sound. This is normal and doesn’t mean
there’s a problem with your vehicle. Examples of
these conditions include hard acceleration in a turn,
an abrupt upshift or downshift of the transmission
or driving on rough roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS
begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage
the cruise control. SeeCruise Control on page 159.
241

StabiliTrak®System
Your vehicle has a vehicle stability enhancement
system called StabiliTrak®. It is an advanced
computer controlled system that assists you with
directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.
StabiliTrak
®activates when the computer senses
a discrepancy between your intended path and
the direction the vehicle is actually traveling.
StabiliTrak
®selectively applies braking pressure at
any one of the vehicle’s brakes to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the intended path.
When you rst start your vehicle and begin to drive
away, the system performs several diagnostic
checks to insure there are no problems. You may
hear or feel the system working. This is normal and
does not mean there is a problem with your vehicle.
If there is a problem detected with StabiliTrak
®,
a SERVICE STAB SYS message will be displayed
on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 196for
more information. When this message is displayed,
the system is not operational. Adjust your driving
accordingly.StabiliTrak
®comes on automatically whenever you
start your vehicle. However, when the transfer
case is placed in Four-Wheel-Low Lock mode,
StabiliTrak
®is automatically disabled. See
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive on page 111for more
information. To help assist you with directional
control of the vehicle, you should always leave the
system on. You can turn StabiliTrak
®off if you
ever need to using the TC (traction control) on/off
button. If you press and hold the TC button for
ve seconds, the StabiliTrak
®system and
the traction control system will turn off. When this
is done, the STAB SYS OFF message will be
displayed on the DIC. Press the TC button again
to turn StabiliTrak
®back on. SeeTraction
Control System (TCS) on page 241.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the
StabiliTrak
®activates, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may reengage
the cruise control. See “Cruise Control on
page 159for more information.
