-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cruise Control

Cruise control lets a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or more be maintained without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds
below 40 km/h (25 mph).

{

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 steering
wheel.

(On/Off): Press to turn the cruise control system

on and off.

4-7

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RES+ (Resume): Press to resume a set speed and to
accelerate the speed.

SET

−

(Set): Press to set a speed and to decrease the

speed.

To set a speed do the following:

1. Press

to turn cruise control on. The indicator

light on the button comes on.

2. Get up to the desired speed.

3. Press the SET

−

and release it. The cruise symbol

displays in the instrument panel cluster to show the
system is engaged.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

When the brakes are applied, 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 5-7. When road
conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again.

Resuming a Set Speed

If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then
the brakes are applied, the cruise control is disengaged.
But it does not need to be reset. The cruise symbol in
the instrument panel cluster also goes out indicating
cruise is no longer engaged. Once the vehicle speed is
40 km/h (25 mph) or more, briefly press the RES+.

The vehicle returns to the previously set speed
and stays there.

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control

There are two ways to increase the vehicle speed while
using cruise control:

•

If the cruise control system is already engaged,
press and hold the RES+ button until the desired
speed is reached, then release it.

•

To increase the vehicle speed in small amounts,
briefly press the RES+ and then release it. Each
time this is done, the vehicle goes about 1.6 km/h
(1 mph) faster.

4-8

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control

If the cruise control system is already engaged:

•

Press and hold the SET

−

until the desired lower

speed is reached, then release it.

•

To slow down in very small amounts, briefly push
the SET

−

. Each time this is done, the vehicle

goes about 1.6 km/h (1 mph) slower.

Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control

Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle’s
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle slows down to the previously set cruise
control speed.

Using Cruise Control on Hills

How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle’s speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s
speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle at a
lower speed. When the brakes are applied this ends the
cruise control.

Ending Cruise Control

There are two ways to disengage the cruise control:

•

Step lightly on the brake pedal; when cruise control
disengages, the cruise symbol in the instrument
panel cluster goes out.

•

Press the

button, to turn off the cruise control

system.

Erasing Speed Memory

The cruise control set speed memory is erased when
the cruise control or the ignition is turned off.

4-9

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Headlamps

The band on the lever located on the left side of the
steering column, operates the exterior lamps.

The exterior lamp control has the following four
positions:

(Headlamps): Turns on the headlamps, parking

lamps, and taillamps.

;

(Parking Lamps): Turns on the parking lamps and

taillamps only.

AUTO (Automatic Headlamp System): Automatically
turns on the Daytime Running Lamps during daytime,
and the headlamps, parking lamps, and taillamps
at night.

(Off/On): Turn the band to this position to turn on

the Automatic Headlamp System. In Canada, this
position only works when a vehicle is in the P (Park)
position.

To turn on the Automatic Headlamp System, turn the
switch to off/on. To turn them off, turn the switch to off/on
again. This is a momentary control switch that springs
back when released. The Automatic Headlamp System
always turns on at the beginning of an ignition cycle.

Headlamps on Reminder

If the driver’s door is opened and the ignition is turned
off while leaving the lamps on, a warning chime will
sound.

Headlamps Off in Park

This feature works when the ignition is in the ON/RUN
position and it is dark outside. To turn the headlamps
off when it is dark outside but keep other exterior lights
on, turn the exterior lamp control to the parking lamp
position.

To turn on the headlamps along with the other lamps
when it is dark outside, turn the exterior lamp control to
the AUTO or headlamp position.

This function does not work for vehicles first sold in
Canada.

4-10

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delayed Headlamps

The delayed headlamps feature keeps the headlamps
on for 20 seconds after the key is turned to LOCK/OFF,
then the headlamps automatically turn off.

To override the 20 second delayed headlamp feature
while it is active turn the turn signal/multifunction
lever up one position and then back to AUTO.

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
first sold in Canada. The vehicle has a light sensor
on top of the instrument panel that controls the DRL.
Do not cover this sensor or the head lamps will be
on when they are not needed.

The DRL system makes the low-beam headlamps come
on at a reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:

•

The ignition is on.

•

The exterior lamps control is in AUTO.

•

The exterior lamps control is in the parking lamps
only position (This applies only to vehicles that
are first sold in Canada).

•

The light sensor detects daytime light.

•

The parking brake is released or the vehicle is not
in P (Park).

When the DRL system is on, the taillamps, sidemarker
lamps, parking lamps, and instrument panel lights
are not on unless you turn the exterior lamps control to
the parking lamp position.

The regular headlamp system should be turned on
when they are needed.

Automatic Headlamp System

When it is dark enough outside, the automatic headlamp
system turns on the headlamps at the normal brightness
along with other lamps such as the taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps, and the instrument panel
lights. The radio lights will also be dim.

The vehicle has a light sensor on top of the instrument
panel that controls the automatic headlamp system.
Do not cover the sensor or the automatic headlamp
system will turn on when it is not needed.

There is a delay in the transition between the daytime
and nighttime operation of the DRL and the automatic
headlamp systems so that driving under bridges or
bright overhead street lights does not affect the system.
