2-7 Delayed Locking
This feature lets the driver delay the actual locking of the
vehicle. When the driver's power door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry lock button is pressed, with the key
removed from the ignition and the driver's door open, a
chime will sound three times to signal that the delayed
locking system is active. When all doors have been closed,
the doors will lock automatically after five seconds. If any
door is opened before this, the five
-second timer will reset
itself once all the doors have been closed again.
Pressing the driver's/passenger's door lock switch or the
remote keyless entry lock button again will override
this feature.
Personalization Programming
The delayed locking feature can be turned on or off.
Vehicles are delivered with delayed locking off.
If your vehicle is not equipped with remote keyless
entry, the delayed locking feature can be turned on or off
by using the following procedure:
1. Keep all doors closed, vehicle in PARK (P) and the
ignition on throughout this procedure.
2. Press and hold the driver's power door lock switch in
the LOCK position through Step 4.3. Cycle the park lamp switch from off to on six times.
On the sixth cycle, the doors will unlock to confirm

remain locked if delayed locking is off.
4. To change modes, cycle the park lamp switch once
more. A locking action will confirm the new mode.
5. Release the power door lock switch.
To turn the feature off, repeat the previous procedure.
If your vehicle is equipped with remote keyless entry,
your vehicle can be programmed to each driver's
preference for each of the transmitters. Use the
following procedure to turn the feature off using the

Windshield Washer
At the end of the wiper lever, there's a button. To spray
washer fluid on the windshield, push the button until
you have enough fluid to clean the windshield. The
wipers will clear the window and either stop or return to
your preset speed.
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don't use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
A WASHER FLUID warning light will indicate if the
fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir is low. See
ªLow Washer Fluid Warning Lightº in the Index.
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).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control
shuts off.

2-40
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off
the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it.
Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise lever up to R/A
(resume/accelerate) briefly.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there. Remember that if you hold the lever at R/A,
the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the
switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go
faster, don't hold the lever at R/A.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.

Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Press the SET button and then release it as well as
the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise at the
higher speed.

Push the cruise lever up to R/A. Hold it there until
you get up to the speed you want, and then release it.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch to R/A briefly and then release it.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pushing the SET button.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:

Press the SET button.

To slow down in very small amounts, press and
release the SET button briefly. Each time you do
this, you'll go 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, your 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 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.

2-63 Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
The speedometer shows a top speed of 140 mph
(220 km/h). This is not intended to be the vehicle's
top speed.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tamper resistant
odometer. If you see ERROR displayed, you'll know
that someone has probably tried to turn it back.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can't, then it's set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver's door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
To set it to zero, press
the trip reset button
next to the instrument
panel cluster on the
right side.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows your
engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm). Do not
run your engine at speeds
in the red area.

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
United States Canada
With the anti
-lock brake system, the light(s) will come
on when you turn the key to RUN and may stay on for
five seconds. That's normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you're driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the engine
again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you're driving, your vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light isn't
on, you still have brakes, but you don't have anti
-lock
brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also
on, you don't have anti
-lock brakes and there's a
problem with your regular brakes. See ªBrake System
Warning Lightº earlier in this section.The anti
-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the
light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Traction Control System Warning
Light (Option)
This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine.
If the warning light doesn't come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem.
If it stays on, or comes on when you're driving, there
may be a problem with your traction control system and
your vehicle may need service. When this warning light
is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.

2-71 Tire Pressure Light (If Equipped)
The check tire pressure
system can alert you to
a large change in the
pressure of one tire.
After the system has been properly calibrated, the
TIRE PRESS light will come on if a pressure difference
(low pressure) is detected in one tire.
The light will stay on until you turn off the ignition or
reset (calibrate) the system. See ªCheck Tire Pressure
Systemº in the Index.
The TIRE PRESS light also comes on briefly when you
turn your ignition key to START. If the light doesn't
come on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you
if the pressure in a tire is low.
If the anti
-lock brake system warning light comes on,
the check tire pressure system may not be working
properly. See your dealer for service. (Also, see
ªAnti
-Lock Brake System Warning Lightº in the Index).
Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Service Engine Soon Light)
Your vehicle is equipped
with a computer which
monitors operation of the
fuel, ignition and emission
control systems.
This system is called OBD II (On
-Board
Diagnostics
-Second Generation) and is intended to
assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the
life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. The SERVICE ENGINE SOON light
comes on to indicate that there is a problem and service
is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated by the
system before any problem is apparent. This may
prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This
system is also designed to assist your service technician
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.
