the vehicle. When the driver’s power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter 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 ve seconds. If any door is opened
before this, the ve-second timer will reset itself once all
the doors have been closed again.
Pressing a power door lock switch or the remote
keyless entry transmitter lock button again will override
this feature.

Setting Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not 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 control switch to ON.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the SET button.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
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 do not need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise lever to R/A
(resume/accelerate) briey.You will 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,
do not 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 will now cruise
at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch 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 briey 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 pressing the SET button.

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 will 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 cannot, then it is 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
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 is normal.If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. If the light
comes on when you are 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 are driving, your vehicle
needs service. If the regular brake system warning light
is not on, you still have brakes, but you do not have
anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning
light is also on, you do not have anti-lock brakes
and there is 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
briey when you turn the ignition key to ON. This is
normal. If the light does not come on then, have it xed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. United States

Tire Pressure Light
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. SeeCheck Tire Pressure
System on page 5-68.
The TIRE PRESS light also comes on briey when you
turn your ignition key to START. If the light doesn’t
come on then, have it xed 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 3-44.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. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-61for more
information.
