AUTOMATIC PANEL DIMMING
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlamp and parklamp operation.
The instrument panel illumination
automatically adjusts to provide the
best visibility as outside light levels
change; this can range from full on
to dim during dark or nearly dark
outside conditions, to completely off
during bright outside conditions.
This will work independently from the headlamp, parklamp and autolamp
systems.
At all illumination levels, the instrument panel lights can still be dimmed
by using the panel dimmer control.
The dimmer switch can be used to control the interior dome lamps.
Move the control to the full upright position, past detent, to turn on the
interior lamps and the outside mirror puddle lamps.
Move the control to the full down position, past detent, to prevent the
interior lights from illuminating when the doors are opened. When the
control is in the full down position, it acts as a dome lamp
defeat/override.
VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
Your vehicle is fitted with eitherVOR(conventional halogen) orVOL
(High Intensity Discharge - HID) headlamps. The adjustment procedure
depends on the type of headlamps that are equipped on your vehicle.

Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the
AdvanceTracperforms a system self-check. During AdvanceTrac/Roll
Stabilty Control operation you may experience the following:
•A rumble or grinding noise
•A slight deceleration of the vehicle
•The AdvanceTracindicator light will flash
•If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the
pedal.
•If the driving condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake, the
brake pedal will move to apply higher brake forces. You may also hear
a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during this severe
condition.
All these conditions are normal during AdvanceTrac/Roll Stability
Control operation.
Do not alter or modify your vehicle’s suspension or steering; the
resulting changes to the vehicle’s handling can adversely affect
the AdvanceTrac/Roll Stability Control system. Also, do not
install a stereo loudspeaker near the rear console or either rear
seat. The speaker vibrations can adversely affect the
AdvanceTrac/Roll Stability Control sensors located in this area.
Note:Pressing the AdvanceTracbutton will disable AdvanceTracand
Roll Stability Control.
Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal
injury or property damage. The occurrence of a AdvanceTrac/Roll
Stability Control event is an indication that at least some of the tires
have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this may lead to an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.
STEERING
To prevent damage to the power steering system, never hold the steering
wheel at its furthest turning points (until it stops) for more than a few
seconds when the engine is running.
It is also important to maintain a proper power steering fluid level in the
power steering fluid reservoir:
•Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
