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 located on the turn
signal/multifunction lever, to ON.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the SET button at the end of the lever and
release it.
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 control switch from ON to
Resume/Accelerate (R/A) briey.
You will go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the switch 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 switch
at R/A.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to increase speed while using
cruise control:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the SET button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You will now cruise at the higher speed.

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). However, a Canadian
odometer will remain in metric units only.
Your vehicle has a tamper-resistant odometer.
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 that will
be done. 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.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Driver Information
Center (DIC), you may toggle the odometer to
display either miles, available only in the United States,
or kilometers. SeeDriver Information Center (DIC)
on page 3-62.
Trip Odometer
In addition to the standard odometer, the cluster can
also display a trip odometer. The display can be toggled
between the odometer and the trip odometer by
quickly pressing and releasing the trip/reset button
located to the right of the temperature gage. The trip
odometer will continue to keep track of miles or
kilometers driven even if they are not currently
displayed. A Canadian trip odometer will remain in
metric units only. To reset the trip odometer to zero (0),
push and hold the trip/reset button for at least one
and a half seconds, but less than three seconds. The
trip odometer that is showing in the display will be reset.
3-39

Retro-Active Reset
The trip odometer has a feature called retro-active reset.
This feature can be used to set the trip odometer to the
number of miles or kilometers driven since the ignition
was last turned on. This can be used if you forget to reset
your trip odometer at the beginning of a trip. To use the
retro-active reset feature, push and hold the trip/reset
button for at least three seconds. The trip odometer will
then display the number of miles or kilometers driven
since the ignition was last turned on and you began
driving. If you use the retro-active reset feature after you
have started the vehicle, but before you begin moving,
the display will show the number of miles or kilometers
you drove during the last ignition cycle. Once you begin
driving, the trip odometer will accumulate mileage. For
example, if you have driven 5.0 miles (8.0 km) since you
started your vehicle, and then activate the retro-active
reset feature, the display will show 5.0 miles (8.0 km).
As you drive, the display will then increase to
5.1 miles (8.2 km), 5.2 miles (8.4 km), etc.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
