Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brakes. This will
disengage the cruise control. The indicator light on
the cruise control button will go out when the
cruise is no longer engaged. To return to the
previously set speed, press the RES+ button
briey when the vehicle has reached a speed of
about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
This will take you back up to your previously
selected speed and stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
Disengage the cruise control, but do not
turn it off.
If the cruise control system is already
engaged, press the RES+ button. Hold it there
until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the button. To increase your
speed in very small amounts, press the
RES+ button briey and then release it.
Each time you do this, the vehicle will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
Push and hold the SET−button until you reach
the lower speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
SET−button briey. Each time you do this, you
will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed
you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills
depends upon your speed, load, and the
steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills,
you may have to step on the accelerator pedal
to maintain the vehicle’s speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down. Of
course, applying the brakes ends cruise control.
Many drivers nd this to be too much trouble
and do not use cruise control on steep hills.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make your low-beam
headlamps come on at a reduced brightness in
daylight when the following conditions are met:
The ignition is on,
the exterior lamp band is in AUTO,
the transaxle is not in PARK (P),
the light sensor determines it is daytime, and
the parking brake is released.When the DRL are on, the low-beam headlamps
will be on at a reduced brightness. The taillamps,
sidemarker and other lamps will not be on.
The instrument panel will not be lit up either.
When you turn the exterior lamp band to
the headlamp position, your regular headlamps
will come on. The other lamps that come on with
your headlamps will also come on.
When you turn off the headlamps, the regular
lamps will go off, and your low-beam headlamps
will come on to the reduced brightness.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, move the
shift lever to PARK (P). The DRL will stay off
until you move the shift lever out of PARK (P).
To override the DRL on manual transaxle vehicles,
you must set the parking brake while the ignition
is off and then start your vehicle. The DRL will stay
off until you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the headlamps
will come on automatically.
Your vehicle has a light
sensor located on top of
the instrument panel.
Make sure it is not
covered, or the
headlamps will be on
when you don’t
need them.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage or tunnel.
Interior Lamps
The liftgate lamps are located on the bottom left
and right corner of the liftgate. They will come
on when the liftgate or any door is opened. The
liftgate lamps can be controlled by the dome lamp
switch. SeeDome Lamp on page 154.
Instrument Panel Brightness
This feature controls the brightness of the
instrument panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this
feature is located on the
center of the instrument
panel.

lights or to the left to dim them.

Dome Lamp
The dome lamp switch has three positions.
*(Off):The lamp will not come on as long as
the switch is in this position.
1(Automatic):The lamp will come on when a
door is opened. SeeEntry Lighting on page 154.
+(On):The lamp will stay on as long as
the switch is in this position.

If the dome lamp is in the automatic position,
the lamps inside your vehicle will come on when
any door is opened. In addition, the lights will
come on when the remote keyless entry unlock
button is pressed. It will stay on for 20 seconds
or until a door is opened. After the door is
opened the lights will remain on and stay on for
20 seconds after the doors are closed, or until you
put the key in the ignition and turn the key to
RUN. The lights will then gradually dim until it is
no longer lit.
Map Lamps
The lamps are located on the headliner above the
rearview mirror. To turn the lamps on, press
the lens. Press the lens again to turn them off.
Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery saver
feature designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp is left on and the
ignition is turned off, the battery rundown
protection system will automatically turn the lamp
off after 20 minutes. This will avoid draining
the battery.
Accessory Power Outlet(s)
The accessory power outlets can be used to
connect electrical equipment such as a cellular
phone or CB radio.
The accessory power outlets are located on the
instrument panel near the climate controls, on the
rear of the center console, and also inside the
console under the cupholders.
To use the outlets, remove the cover. When not in
use, always cover the outlet with the protective cap.
