Power Door Locks
With power door locks, you
can lock or unlock all the
doors on your vehicle
using the driver’s or the
front passenger’s door lock
switch.

Delayed Locking
This personalization feature lets the driver delay the
actual locking of the vehicle. When the driver’s power
door lock switch, or the lock symbol on the remote
keyless entry 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 lock delay mode
is
active. When all doors have been closed, the doors
will lock automatically after five seconds.
If any door is
itself once all the doors have been closed again.
Pressing the driver’s or passenger’s door lock switch or
the lock symbol on the remote keyless entry a second
time will override this feature.
You must program this feature through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Vehicle
Personalization
on page 3-52.

The RainsenseTM system is activated by moving the
wiper lever up to the INT position and turning the
INT ADJ band to one
of the five sensitivity levels within
the delay area. The bottom INT ADJ position is the
lowest sensitivity setting, level one. This allows more
rain or snow to collect on the windshield between wipes.
You can increase the sensitivity of the system and the
frequency of wipes by turning the INT ADJ band
away from you to the higher sensitivity levels. The top
position is the highest sensitivity setting, level five.
A single wipe will occur each time you turn the INT ADJ
band to a higher sensitivity level to indicate that the
sensitivity level has been increased.
Notice: The wipers must be turned off when going
through a car wash to avoid damage.
The MIST and wash cycles operate as normal and are
not affected by the RainsenseTM function. The
system can be overridden at any time by manually
changing the wiper control to
LO or HI speed.
Notice: Do not place stickers or other items on the
exterior glass surface directly in front of the
rainsensor. Doing this could cause the rainsensor
to malfunction.
Windshield Washer
The lever on the right side of your steering column also
controls your windshield washer. To spray washer
fluid on the windshield, push the button on the end
of
the lever. The wipers will clear the window and then
either stop or return
to your preset speed. For more
washer cvcles, push and hold the button.
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.
Ice build up can block washer nozzles. Remove ice for
proper operation.
If the fluid level in the windshield washer bottle is low,
the message LOW WASHER FLUID will appear on
the
DIC. See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-38.

Resuming a Set Speed
Setting the cruise control at a desired speed and then
applying the brake will end the cruise control function.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you
can briefly push the cruise control lever up to RES-ACC
(Resume-Accelerate) to reset. This returns you to
the desired preset speed.
Remember,
if you hold the lever up at RES-ACC, the
vehicle will accelerate until you release the lever
or apply the brake.
So unless you want to go faster,
don’t hold the lever at RES-ACC.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both
miles per hour (mph) and 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.
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 Odometers
Your trip odometer tells you how far you have driven
since you last reset it. Your vehicle is equipped with two
trip odometers,
A and B. The buttons for this feature
are located to the left
of the steering column. The
trip odometer displays are located in the center of the
instrument panel cluster. Press the TRIP
A/B button
to change which trip odometer is displayed. Press and
hold the TRIP RESET button to reset the trip
odometer that is currently being displayed.

A PARK BRAKE SET message will be displayed on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) while the parking
brake is set and the vehicle is moving. The message
will not come on
if the transaxle is in PARK (P).
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull
off the
road and stop carefully. You may notice that the pedal is
harder
to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the
floor. It may take longer
to stop. If the light is still on,
have the vehicle towed for service. See
Towing
Your Vehicle
on page 4-33.
Your brake system may not be working
properly
if the brake system warning light is
on. Driving with the brake system warning light
on can lead to an accident.
If the light is still
on after you’ve pulled
off the road and stopped
carefully, have the vehicle towed for service.
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, the light(s) will
come on when your engine is started and may stay
on for several 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
Brake System Warning Light on page 3-35 earlier in this
section.
The anti-lock brake system warning light will come on
briefly when you turn the ignition key to
ON. This is
normal.
If the light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
