To recall a memory position, do one of the following:
If you have an automatic transmission vehicle,
press and release the desired button 1 or 2
while the vehicle is in PARK (P). A single chime
will sound and the memory position will be recalled.
If the vehicle is not in PARK (P), the memory
position will not be recalled.

seat positions will be recalled if programmed to do so
through the Driver Information Center (DIC). The
numbers on the back of the transmitters, 1 or 2,
correspond to the numbers on the memory controls.
The seat positions can also be recalled by placing the
key in the ignition if programmed to do so through
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To stop recall movement of the memory feature at any
time, press one of the power seat controls or memory

Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer ¯uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
LQ(Windshield Washer): To spray washer ¯uid on
the windshield, press the paddle. The wipers will clear
the window and then either stop or return to your preset
speed.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. This can really help on long
trips. Cruise control does not work at speeds below
about 25 mph (40 km/h).
If you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off.
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not 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. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
{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.

Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then apply your brakes or the clutch, if equipped.
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 brie¯y from on to
resume/accelerate.
You will go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, 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 resume/accelerate.
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 button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You will now cruise at the higher speed.
·Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the
speed you want, and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch brie¯y to resume/accelerate.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed:
·Press and hold the button at the end of the lever
until you reach the lower speed you want, then
release it.
·To slow down in very small amounts, brie¯y press
and release the set button. Each time you do this,
you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.

If the TC (traction control) warning light stays on or
comes on while you are driving, pull off the road as
soon as possible and stop carefully. Try resetting
the system by turning the ignition off then back on. If
the light still stays on or comes back on again while you
are driving, your vehicle needs service. Have the
traction control system inspected as soon as possible.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
If the gage pointer is near 260 ÉF (125 ÉC), the engine
is too hot.It means that your engine coolant has overheated. If
you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop your
vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
See
Engine Overheating on page 5-28for more
information.
