Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
The buttons to operate cruise control are located on the
steering wheel.1. Press CRUISE ON/OFF, located on the bottom left

Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This shuts off the
cruise control. But you don't need to reset it.
Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more, you can press RES/ACC
(resume/accelerate) to return to your desired preset
speed. The CRUISE light will be displayed again.
The vehicle will return to and stay at your preset speed.

When the Twilight Sentinelžlever is on and it's bright
enough outside, the regular lamps will go off, and
the high-beam headlamps at reduced brightness will
take over. If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on immediately.
Once you leave the garage, it will take approximately
one minute for the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay,
your instrument panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
knob is in the full bright position. See ªInstrument Panel
Brightnessº under
Interior Lamps on page 3-21.
If it's dark enough outside and the Twilight Sentinel
ž
lever is off, a HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message will
display on the Driver's Information Center (DIC). This
message informs the driver that turning on the exterior
lamps is recommended even though the DRL are
still illuminated. Turning on the Twilight Sentinel
žor the
headlamps will deactivate the DRL and remove the
HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED message. If the parking
lamps or the fog lamps were turned on instead, the DRL
will still deactivate and the HEADLAMPS SUGGESTED
message will continue to be displayed.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off at night, turn off
the Twilight Sentinel
žand shift the transaxle into
PARK (P). Placing your vehicle in PARK (P) disables
the DRL. The DRL will stay off until you shift out
of PARK (P).To drive your vehicle with the DRL off, turn off the
Twilight Sentinel
žand manually turn on the parking
lamps or fog lamps.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
Fog Lamps
Use the fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions.
-(Fog Lamps):Press the button with this symbol on
it, located next to the exterior lamp control, to turn the
fog lamps on.
When the ignition is on and you press the fog lamp
button, a small indicator light in the fog lamp button, the
LIGHTS ON and fog lamp indicator lights on the
instrument panel cluster will come on to indicate that the
fog and the parking lamps are on.
Press the fog lamp button again to turn off the
fog lamps.
If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will turn off. They'll turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.
When the Twilight Sentinel
žis on and the fog lamps are
turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking
lamps will remain on.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.

Adding Coolant
If you need more coolant, add the proper DEX-COOLž
coolant mixtureat the surge tank, but only when the
engine is cool.
{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant on a hot engine.
When replacing the pressure cap, make sure it is
hand-tight.
Coolant Surge Tank Pressure Cap
Notice:Your coolant surge tank pressure cap is a
pressure-type cap and must be tightly installed
to prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage
from overheating. Two and one-half turns are
required to seal the cap. See ªEngine Compartment
Overviewº in the Index for more information on
location.
Engine Overheating
You will ®nd an ENGINE COOLANT HOT, IDLE
ENGINE message or an ENGINE OVERHEATED,
STOP ENGINE message displayed in the Driver
Information Center (DIC). You will also hear a chime.
There is also an engine temperature warning light and/or
gage on the instrument panel cluster. See
Engine
Coolant Temperature Warning Light on page 3-46andEngine Coolant Temperature Gage on page 3-46.
Overheated Engine Protection
Operating Mode
If an overheated engine condition exists and the
message ENGINE OVERHEATED, STOP ENGINE is
displayed, an overheat protection mode which alternates
®ring groups of cylinders helps prevent engine damage.
In this mode, you will notice a loss in power and
engine performance. This operating mode allows your
vehicle to be driven to a safe place in an emergency;
you may drive up to 50 miles (80 km). Driving extended
miles (km) and/or towing a trailer in the overheat
protection mode should be avoided.
