Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wiper will operate for two wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then resume the intermit-
tent interval previously selected.
NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with the optional Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead
console, all warnings including “door”, “GATE”,
“GLASS”, and “LOWASH” will only be displayed in the
EVIC display (not in the instrument cluster). For addi-
tional information, refer to “Overhead Console — If
Equipped” in Section 3. (See page 135 for more informa-
tion.)
The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display located in the
odometer area displays the word “LOWASH” when the
washer solvent needs to be refilled. If the vehicle is not
moving, when a low washer fluid condition is detected, the VF display will show the word “LOWASH” and then
show the odometer/trip odometer mileage (each for 2
seconds). The display will continue to cycle.
If any other active warnings including “door”, “GATE”,
or “GLASS” are present, they will be shown in the VF
display and will continue to cycle. If the vehicle starts
moving, two single chimes will occur (one chime for each
complete display cycle). After this, the display will
continue to sequence. After fifteen “LOWASH” se-
quences, the VF display will no longer provide this
warning.
If the trip/reset button is pressed while the VF warnings
are being displayed, the VF display will revert back to
only displaying the odometer/trip odometer mileage.
Once the warning is removed from the display, it will not
return for the duration of the ignition cycle.
If the lever is pulled while in the OFF position, the wipers
will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.

ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
This system enhances directional control and stability of
the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor-
rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying
the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter-
acting the over/under steer condition. Engine power
may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the
desired path.
ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle
path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual
path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match
the intended path, ESP applies the brake of the appropri-
ate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or
understeer condition.
•Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.
•Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.
ESP/TCS Indicator Light
The ESP/TCS Indicator Light located in the
instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the
tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes
active. The ESP/TCS Indicator Light also
flashes when TCS is active. If the ESP/TCS Indicator
Light  begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the
accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure
to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions.

overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily depressing
the “ESP Control Switch”. This may be done while the
vehicle is in motion.
4WD Low Range
Partial Off
This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD low
range. Whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD low range
or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 2WD,
4WD high range, or neutral to 4WD low range, the ESP
system will be in this mode. In 4WD low range, ESP and
TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the
TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a
speed of 30 mph (48 km/h). At 30 mph (48 km/h), the
normal ESP stability function returns but TCS remains
off. When the vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40
km/h) the ESP system shuts off. ESP is off at low vehicle
speeds in 4WD low range so that it will not interfere with
off-road driving but ESP function returns to provide the stability feature at speeds above 30 mph (48 km/h). The
“ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will always be illuminated in
4WD low range when ESP is off.
ESP/BAS Warning Lamp
The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is
combined with BAS. The “ESP/BAS Warning
Lamp” and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in
the instrument cluster both come on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They
should go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS
Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine
running, a malfunction has been detected in either the
ESP or the BAS system. If this light remains on after
several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h),
see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected.

NOTE:
•TheESP/TCS Indicator Light and the ESP/BAS
Warning Lamp come on momentarily each time the
ignition switch is turned ON.
•Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System
will be ON even if it was turned off previously.
•The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds
will stop when ESP becomes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESP activation.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, this device takes over accelerator opera-
tions beginning at speeds of approximately 30 mph (48
km/h). The controls are mounted on the steering wheel
and consist of ON·OFF, SET, RES·ACCEL, CANCEL, and
DECEL controls.To Activate
Press and release the ON·OFF button to turn the system
on. To turn the system off, press the ON·OFF button
again. The system should be turned off when not in use.
The CRUISE indicator light in the instrument cluster
illuminates when the system is on.

the “Low Fuel Indicator Light” is displayed in the
instrument panel cluster. Pressing the STEP button when
in this display will select “Yes” or “No.”
Mini-Trip Computer
This feature, located in the overhead console, displays
information on outside temperature, compass direction,
and trip information.
Reset Button
Use this button to reset the Average Economy, Trip Miles,
and Time Elapsed displays. This will occur only if a
resettable function is currently being displayed (Average
Economy, Trip Miles, and Time Elapsed). A single chime
will sound to indicate that a reset has occurred. Global Reset
If the RESET button is pressed twice within 3 seconds
while in any of the three resettable displays, the RESET
button will reset all three displays.
A chime (two beeps) will sound to indicate that a reset
has occurred.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION
1. Tachometer
Indicates the permissible engine revolutions-per-minute
for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up
on the accelerator to prevent engine damage.
2. Turn Signal Indicator Light The arrows will flash in unison with the exterior
turn signals, when using the multi-function control
lever. A chime will sound if the turn signals are left on
continuously for 2 miles (3 km) until they are deacti-
vated.
3. High Beam Indicator Light This light shows that the headlights are on high
beam. Pull the multi-function control lever to-
wards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from
high to low beam. 4. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
5. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
