Cruise Control
{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
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
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).
When you apply your brakes, cruise control
is turned off.If your vehicle has the StabiliTrak
®system and
begins to limit wheel spin while you are using cruise
control, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. SeeStabiliTrak
®System on page 330.
When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may turn the cruise control back on.
The cruise control
buttons are located
on left side of the
steering wheel.
T(On/Off):This button can both activate
and turn off the system. The indicator light on the
button turns on when cruise control is on and
turns off when cruise control is off.

Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise to
lower or increase the temperature inside the
vehicle. The display will show the temperature
setting decreasing or increasing.
Set the passenger’s temperature setting to match
the driver’s temperature setting by pressing the
passenger power knob.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When automatic operation
is active the system will control the inside
temperature, the air delivery, and the fan speed.
Use the steps below to place the entire system
in automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the display will
change to show the current temperature(s)
and AUTO will appear. The current delivery
mode and fan speed will also be displayed for
approximately ve seconds.When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet will be automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor will
run when the outside temperature is over
about 40°F (4°C). The air inlet will normally be
set to outside air. If it is hot outside, the air
inlet may automatically switch to recirculate
inside air to help quickly cool down your
vehicle. The light on the button will come on
in recirculation.
2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a
74°F (23°C) temperature setting and allow
about 20 minutes for the system to regulate.
Use the driver’s or passenger’s temperature
buttons to adjust the temperature setting
as necessary. If you choose the temperature
setting of 60°F (15°C), the system will
remain at the maximum cooling setting.
If you choose the temperature setting of
90°F (32°C), the system will remain at the
maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the vehicle
to heat or cool any faster.
