Tilt Wheel
The tilt wheel will allow you to adjust the steering
wheel before you drive. Raise it to the highest
level to give your legs more room when you exit
and enter your vehicle.

To tilt the wheel, hold the steering wheel and pull
the lever. Then move the steering wheel to a
comfortable position and release the lever to lock
the wheel in place.
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:

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 an Allison
®automatic
transmission, see “Grade Braking and Cruise
Grade Braking (Allison Transmission
®) under
Tow/Haul Mode on page 146for an explanation of
how cruise control interacts with the Range
Selection Mode, tow/haul and grade braking
systems.
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 384. 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.

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

The exterior lamps control has four positions:
O(Off):Turn the control to this position to turn
off the automatic headlamps and daytime
running lamps (DRL). Turn the headlamp control
to the off position again to 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
PARK (P).
AUTO (Automatic):Turn the control to this
position to automatically turn on the headlamps at
normal brightness, together with the following:
Parking Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
Taillamps

When the vehicle is turned off and the headlamps
are in AUTO, the headlamps may automatically
remain on for a set time. The time of the delay can
be changed using the DIC. SeeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 269.
;(Parking Lamps):Turn the control to this
position to turn on the parking lamps together with
the following:

Let us say the road is wet and you are driving
safely. Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of
you. You slam on the brakes and continue braking.
Here is what happens with ABS:
A computer senses that wheels are slowing down.
If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the
computer will separately work the brakes at each
front wheel and at both rear wheels.ABS can change the brake pressure faster than
any driver could. The computer is programmed to
make the most of available tire and road conditions.
This can help you steer around the obstacle while
braking hard.
As you brake, your computer keeps receiving
updates on wheel speed and controls braking
pressure accordingly.
382

Remember: ABS does not change the time you
need to get your foot up to the brake pedal or
always decrease stopping distance. If you get
too close to the vehicle in front of you, you will
not have time to apply your brakes if that vehicle
suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough
room up ahead to stop, even though you
have ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake
pedal down rmly and let anti-lock work for you.
You may feel the brakes vibrate, or you may notice
some noise, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With ABS, you can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help you
more than even the very best braking.
Locking Rear Axle
If your vehicle has this feature, your locking rear
axle can give you additional traction on snow,
mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard
axle most of the time, but when one of the
rear wheels has no traction and the other does,
this feature will allow the wheel with traction
to move the vehicle.
