There are two ways to go to a highcr speed. Here’s the first:
1. Usc thc accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2. Press the button at the end of the Icver, thcn release the button and
the accelerator pedal. You‘ll now cruise at thc higher speed.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control
Tc) slow down in very small amounts, press thc button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this. you’ll go 1 mph ( I .6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another khicle While Using Cruise Control
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon vour speed,
load and the steepness of the hills. When going up stecp hills,iou may
have 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. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control.
Many drivers find this to be
too much trouble and don’t use cruise control
on steep hills.

For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface.
A false LOW OIL LEVEL mcssage may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing svstem does not check
for actual oil
level if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on levcl
ground with the engine off for at least 30 minutcs, vour oil level should be
checked
by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to cheiking your oil level be
sure your engine has been
off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine
Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90%- of the engine oil’s
expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within
300 miles. See enginc oil and filter recommendations in
the Maintenance Schedule. After an oil change the Oil Life Index must be
reset. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index on how to reset it.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which
to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 41
This message will appcar whcn your engine coolant temperature is over
248’ F (126” C). To avoid added strain on a hot engine turn off your
Climate Control system. Stop and
allow your vehicle to idle until*it cools
down or the message is removed. If it does mt cool down, turn off your
engine and
have it sewiced before driving it again. Severe engine damage
can result
from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating“ in the
Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Traction Control System
c
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is
especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it
senses that one or both of ihc front wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power (by shutting
off fuel injectors) to limit wheel spin.
The TRACTION
ACTIVE message will display on the Driver
Information Center when the traction control
system is limiting wheel
spin. See “Driver Information Center Messages” in the Index. You may
feel the system working, or you may notice some noise, but this is normal.
If
your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control svstem 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. (See “Cruise Control”
in the Index.)
The TRACTION DISABLED message will display on the Driver
Information Center to
let you know if there‘s a problem with your traction
control system. See “Driver Information Center Messages”
in the Index.
When this message is displaved, the system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes on whenever you start
your vehicle.
To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions,
you should always leave the svstem on. But you can turn the traction
control system
off if you ever-need to. (You should turn the system off if
your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow. See “Rocking Your
Vehicle’’
in the Index.)
