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. Applying the brake or shifting
into a lower gear will take your vehicle out of cruise
control. If you need to apply the brake or shift to
a lower gear due to the grade of the downhill slope,
you may not want to attempt to use your cruise
control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal; or

press ON/OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.Exterior Lamps
The exterior lamp control
buttons are located to the
left of the steering column.
(Parking Lamps): Pressing the button with this
symbol turns on the parking lamps, together with the
following:

Sidemarker Lamps

Taillamps

License Plate Lamps

Instrument Panel Lights
(Headlamps): Pressing the button with this symbol
turns on the headlamps, together with the previously
listed lamps and lights.

When the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message is
on, you should continue to steer in the direction you
want to go. The system is designed to help you in bad
weather or other difficult driving situations by making
the most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on,
you'll know that something has caused your vehicle to
start to spin, so you should consider slowing down.
DIC Personal Choice Programming
The DIC can be used to program the following personal
choice features available with your vehicle:

Automatic Door Locks

Window Lockout

Security Feedback

Delayed Locking

Perimeter Lighting

Memory Seats (If Equipped)

Tilt Mirrors (If Equipped)

Driver ID ON/OFF

Language SelectionFor vehicles not equipped with a DIC, see ªPersonal
Choice Programmingº in the Index.
The personal choice settings displayed on the DIC are
determined by the transmitter used to enter the vehicle.
Each remote keyless entry transmitter was
pre
-programmed to belong to DRIVER 1 or DRIVER 2
and is numbered on the back. After the button with the
unlock symbol on a remote keyless entry transmitter is
pressed and the ignition is in RUN, the DIC will display
the identified driver and recall the settings previously
programmed for that driver. The settings can also be
recalled by briefly pressing one of the MEMORY
buttons located on the driver's door.
If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and
will recall the information from the last transmitter used
or the last driver using the memory seat controls. If this
happens and you were not the last driver of the vehicle,
simply press your correct driver number on the memory
seat controls or press the button with the unlock symbol
on your remote keyless entry transmitter.

Sun and temperature sensors automatically adjust the air
temperature, the airflow direction and the fan speed to
maintain your temperature setting. The system may
supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle toward the
sun. Be careful not to put anything over the sensor on
top of the dash.
The display will show fan speed, temperature level
setting and airflow direction for a few seconds whenever
AUTO is selected, and then it will display the outside
temperature. The outside temperature reading is most
accurate when the vehicle is moving. During stops, the
display shows the previous temperature for best
accuracy and system control.
To find your preferred temperature setting, start with the
system in AUTO mode and the TEMP button adjusted
to 75
F (24
C), give the vehicle about 20 minutes to
stabilize, and adjust your temperature setting if
necessary, by using the TEMP button. The display will
show the temperature setting for a few seconds and then
it will display the outside temperature. If you want to
see your current automatic fan speed, airflow direction
and temperature setting, press the AUTO button.In cold weather, the system will delay turning on the fan,
to avoid blowing cold air. During this delay the system
will be in FRONT defrost mode and the light in the button
will come on and stay on as long as the display is showing
the current mode, set TEMP and FAN speed. This light
will go off when the display returns to the outside
temperature. The length of the delay depends on the
engine coolant temperature and the outside temperature.
Pushing the FAN, AIR FLOW or FRONT buttons will
override this delay, turn off the AUTO setting and return
the system to manual operation.
Personal Choice Comfort Controls
(If Equipped)
This feature enables up to two drivers to store and recall
comfort control settings for the temperature, fan speed
and the direction of the airflow.
The memory buttons (1 or 2) for this feature are located
on the driver's door panel and correspond to the
numbers (1 or 2) found on the back of each keyless
entry transmitter.
To recall comfort settings, press the unlock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter and put the ignition in
ACCESSORY or RUN. The climate control setting last
chosen by the identified driver (1 or 2) will be recalled.

3-8
To program a personal choice climate control setting,
do the following:
1. Choose a temperature setting for the driver and if
desired, for the passenger. See ªDual Automatic
ComforTemp

Climate Controlº and ªPassenger
Climate Controlº earlier in this section.
2. Adjust the fan speed and the direction of the airflow.
3. Locate the memory buttons on the driver's
door panel.
4. Press a memory button (1 or 2) until you hear two
beeps. The beeps confirm that your selection has
been saved and can now be recalled.
Follow these steps each time you want to change the
stored settings. For more information on the memory
feature, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in the Index.
Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
If you have the electronic touch system, for quick
cool
-down on very hot days, use maximum air
conditioning with the temperature and fan speed
adjusted to COOL and HIGH. If this setting is used
for long periods of time, the air in your vehicle may
become too cold and dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use Normal and
adjust the temperature and fan speed for your comfort.
If Recirculation is selected while in the Normal air
conditioning mode, the system works like maximum
air conditioning and recirculates the air.

Compact Disc Changer Errors
E (Error): If this message and a number appear on the
display, an error has occurred.
If the error occurred while trying to play a CD in the
compact disc player or changer, the following conditions
may have caused the error:

E30: The road is too rough. The disc should play
when the road is smoother.

E30: The disc is dirty, scratched, wet or
upside down.

E30: The air is very humid. If so, wait about an hour
and try again.

E34: The CD changer door is open. Completely
close the door to restore normal operation.

E35: An empty magazine is inserted in the CD
changer. Try the magazine again with a disc loaded
on one of the trays.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error cannot be
corrected, contact your dealer. If your radio displays
an error number other than the error codes listed
previously, write it down and provide it to your dealer
when reporting the problem.Personal Choice Radio Controls
