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 a power 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.
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, the vehicle in PARK (P) and
the ignition on throughout this procedure.
2. Press and hold the driver’s power door lock switch
in LOCK through Step
4.
3. Cycle the parking lamp switch from off to on six
times. On the sixth cycle, the doors will unlock to
confirm that the feature has been turned on.
Your doors will remain locked

off. If the doors unlock, delayed locking is on.
switch once more.
A locking action will confirm
the new mode.
4. To change modes, cycle the parking lamp
5. Release the power door lock switch.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information
Center
(DIC), you must program this feature through the
DIC. See
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-62.

Setting Cruise Control
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you can’t drive safely at a steady speed.
So, don’t use your cruise control on
winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes
in tire traction can cause
needless wheel
spinning, and you could
lose control. Don’t use cruise control on
slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional
traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. See
Traction
Control System
(TCS) on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn
the cruise control back on.
If you leave bWu. auise cont. “. on whe.. joer’re
not using cruise, you might hit a button and go
into cruise when
you don’t want to. You could
be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch
off until you want to use
cruise control.
1. Move the cruise controi switch
to ON.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the SET button.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
ReEccmirag 3 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 RiA (resumeiacceierate)
briefly.

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.

Anti-Lock Brake System
Warning Light
ANTI-
LOCK
United States Canada
With the anti-lock brake system, the light(s) will come
on when your engine
is starled and x2y 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 3-42.
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.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning Light
TRAC
OFF
For vehicles equipped with
the traction control system,
this warning light should
come on briefly when
the engine is started.
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.

Tire Pressure Light
The check tire pressure system can alert you to a large
change in the pressure of one tire.
TIRE PRESS
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
Check Tire Pressure
System on page
5-64.
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
Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light on page 3-43.
On vehicles with the optional Driver Information Center
(DIC), a
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message replaces
the TIRE
PRESS light when the system detects a
pressure difference (low pressure) in one tire. See
DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-60 for more
information.

Vehicle Data
Average Fuel Economy: Press the SELECT button
until the display shows AVG FUEL ECONOMY. Average
fuel economy is viewed as a long term approximation
of your overall driving conditions. To learn the average
fuel economy from a new starting point, press the
RESET button for five seconds while the average fuel
economy is displayed on the DIC.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy: Press the SELECT
button until the display shows INST FUEL ECONOMY.
Instantaneous fuel economy varies with your driving
conditions, such as acceleration, braking and the grade
of the road being traveled. The RESET button does
not function in this mode.
Fuel Range: Press the SELECT button until the display
shows FUEL RANGE. The fuel range will calculate
the remaining distance you can drive without refueling.
This calculation is based on the average fuel economy
for the last
25 miles (40.25 km) driven, and the fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. If the fuel range drops below
40 miles (64.4 km), the display will show FUEL
RANGE LOW. The RESET button does not function in
this mode.
Fuel Used: Press the SELECT button until the display
shows FUEL USED. The value indicates how much
fuel has been used since the last reset. Don’t confuse
fuel used with the amount of fuel in your tank. To
learn how much fuel
will be used from a specific starting
point, press
the RESET button for five seconds while
the fuel used is displayed on the DIC.
