Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills
depends upon your speed, load, and the
steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills,
you may have to step on the accelerator pedal
to maintain the vehicle’s speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep the vehicle’s speed down. Of
course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise
control. Many drivers nd this to be too much
trouble and do not use cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to end cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal.
Press the cancel button on the steering wheel.
Press the On/Off button on the steering
wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the
ignition, the cruise control set speed memory is
erased.
Exterior Lamps
The exterior lamps
control is located on the
instrument panel to
the left of the steering
wheel.
It controls the following systems:
Headlamps
Taillamps
Parking Lamps
License Plate Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
205

The exterior lamps control has four positions:
9(Off):Turn the control to this position to
turn off the automatic headlamps and daytime
running lamps (DRL). Turning the headlamp
control to the off position again will turn the
automatic headlamps or DRL back on.
For vehicles rst sold in Canada, the off position
will only work when the vehicle is shifted into
the PARK (P) position.
AUTO (Automatic):Turn the control to this
position to set the headlamps to automatically
turn on at normal brightness, together with
the following:
Parking Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps
;(Parking Lamps):Turn the control to this
position to turn on the parking lamps together with
the following:
Instrument Panel Lights
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps
2(Headlamps):Turn the control to this position
to turn on the headlamps together with the
following lamps listed below.
Parking Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps
206

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the automatic
headlamp system will turn on the headlamps at
the normal brightness, along with the taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps, and the instrument
panel lights. The radio back lighting will also be
dimly lit.
To turn off the automatic headlamp system, turn
the exterior lamps switch to the off position.
Turning off the automatic headlamp system with
the headlamp switch is not available for vehicles
rst sold in Canada.
Your vehicle has a light sensor located on the top
of the instrument panel in the defroster grille
that regulates when the automatic headlamps turn
on. Be sure it is not covered, or the system will
come on whenever the ignition is on.
The system may also turn on the headlamps when
driving through a parking garage, heavy overcast
weather, or a tunnel. This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition between the
daytime and nighttime operation of the Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) and the automatic headlamp
systems so that driving under bridges or bright
overhead street lights does not affect the system.The DRL and automatic headlamp system will only
be affected when the light sensor detects a change
in lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system will come on
immediately. Once you leave the garage, it will
take approximately one minute for the automatic
headlamp system to change to DRL if it is
bright enough outside. During that delay, your
instrument panel cluster may not be as bright as
usual. Make sure your instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Brightness on page 212.
To idle your vehicle with the automatic headlamp
system off, turn the control to the off position.
You may be able to turn off your Automatic
Headlamp System. SeeDaytime Running Lamps
(DRL) on page 210for more information.
Your headlamps will also stay on after you exit the
vehicle. You can program this feature using the
Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 259.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when needed.
211

Fog Lamps
-(Fog Lamps):If your vehicle has fog lamps,
the control is located on the exterior lamps
control. The exterior lamps control is located on
the instrument panel to the left of the steering
column.
Your ignition must be in the RUN position for the
fog lamps to come on.
To turn the fog lamps on, press the exterior lamps
button. A light will come on in the instrument
panel cluster to let you know that the fog lamps
are on. Press the exterior lamps button again
to turn the fog lamps off.
When the headlamps are changed to high-beam,
the fog lamps also go off.
Some localities have laws that require the
headlamps to be on along with the fog lamps.
Instrument Panel Brightness
D(Instrument Panel Brightness):This feature
controls the brightness of the instrument panel
lights.
The knob for this feature is located next to the
headlamp control.
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to
adjust the brightness of the instrument panel lights.
Turn the knob clockwise to return the instrument
panel cluster or radio display to full brightness
when the headlamps or parking lamps are on.
To turn on the dome lamps, turn the knob to the
farthest clockwise position.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps come on when a door is opened.
The dome lamps can also be turned on by
turning the knob, located next to the exterior lamps
control, clockwise to the farthest position. In this
position, the dome lamps will remain on whether a
door is opened or closed.
212

Dome Lamp Override
E(Dome Lamp Override):Press the dome
override button, located next to the exterior lamps
control, to keep the dome lamps off when a
door is open. To set the lamps to the automatic
operation, press the button again so that it is
extended. With the button in this position,
the dome lamps will come on when a door is
opened.
Entry Lighting
Your vehicle has an illuminated entry feature.
When the doors are opened, the dome lamps will
come on if the dome override button is in the
extended position. If the dome override button is
pressed in, the lamps will not come on.
Exit Lighting
With exit lighting, the interior lamps will come on
when the key is removed from the ignition.
They will turn off automatically in 20 seconds.
The lights will not come on if the dome override
button is pressed in.
Reading Lamps
If your vehicle has reading lamps, press the button
located next to the lamp to turn it on or off.
Your vehicle may also have reading lamps in other
locations. To turn each one on or off, press the
button located next to the lamp. The lamps cannot
be adjusted.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamps if they are
left on for more than 10 minutes when the
ignition is in LOCK. This will help prevent the
battery from running down.
