Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high
beam, push the lever toward the instrument panel.
To return to low-beam headlamps, pull the
multifunction lever toward you. Then release it.
When the high
beams are on, this
indicator light on
the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam
headlamps to signal a driver in front of you
that you want to pass. It works even if your
headlamps are in the automatic position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you,
then release it.If the headlamps are in the automatic position
or on low beam, the high-beam headlamps turn on.
They will stay on as long as you hold the lever
toward you. The high-beam indicator on the
instrument panel cluster comes on. Release the
lever to return to normal operation.
Windshield Wipers
8(Mist):Turn the band to mist, for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers
start. Then let go. The wipers will stop after
one wipe. If more wipes are needed, hold the
band on mist longer.
9(Off):Move the band to off, to stop the
wipers.
N(Windshield Wipers):Turn the band to
control the windshield wipers.
The wiper speed can be set for a long or short
delay between wipes. This can be very useful
in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the
delay time. The closer to the top of the lever,
the shorter the delay.

Some vehicles have
a cruise light on the
instrument panel
cluster that will come
on when the cruise
control is engaged.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired
speed and then you apply the brake. This, of
course, shuts off the cruise control. But you do
not need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, you can move the cruise control switch
briey from on to resume/accelerate.
You will go right back up to the previously chosen
speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate, the
vehicle keeps going faster until you release
the switch or apply the brakes. So unless you
want to go faster, do not hold the switch at
resume/accelerate.
Increasing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator
pedal. You will now cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from on to resume/
accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to the
desired speed and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch briey to resume/accelerate.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go
about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using
Cruise Control
Press in the set button at the end of the lever until
you reach the desired speed, then release it. Each
time you do this, you will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle
will slow down to the cruise control speed set earlier.

Automatic Headlamp System
When it is dark enough outside, the Automatic
Headlamp System turns on the headlamps when
the vehicle is started and after the transaxle
has been shifted out of the PARK (P) position.
The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker, and parking
lamps will come on. The instrument panel lights
and radio lights will also turn on at normal
brightness. Once on, the system remains on
during these conditions even if the vehicle
is shifted back into PARK (P).
The vehicle has a light sensor on the top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered or the
system may come on whenever the ignition is on
and the vehicle is shifted out of the PARK (P)
position.
The system could also turn on the lamps 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 are only
affected when the light sensor sees a change in
lighting lasting longer than the delay.
If you start your vehicle in a dark garage, the
automatic headlamp system comes on after the
transmission is shifted out of PARK (P). Once you
leave the garage, it will take about one minute
for the automatic headlamp system to change to
DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster might not be as bright as
usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position.
If the vehicle is running and the automatic
headlamp system is already on, it can be turned off
by turning and releasing the headlamp control at
the off position. The automatic headlamp system
stays off until you turn and release the headlamp
control at the off position again. SeeHeadlamps
on page 180.

Instrument Panel Cluster
Your instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running.
You will know how fast you are going, about how much fuel you have used, and many other things
you will need to know to drive safely and economically.

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in
both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers
per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far your vehicle
has been driven, in either miles (used in the
United States) or kilometers (used in Canada).
The odometer mileage can be checked without
the vehicle running. Press the trip stem located
on the instrument panel cluster.
If your vehicle needs a new odometer installed,
the new one will be set to the correct mileage
total of the old odometer.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your
vehicle has been driven since you last set the
trip odometer to zero.
The odometer works together with the Driver
Information Center (DIC). You can set a Trip A
and Trip B odometer. See “Trip Information”
underDIC Operation and Displays on page 221.
The odometer mileage can be checked without
the vehicle running. Press the trip stem on
the instrument panel cluster.

Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle may have this feature. The Driver
Information Center (DIC) display is located
on the instrument panel cluster, below the
speedometer. If your vehicle has DIC buttons,
they are located on the steering wheel.
The DIC can display information such as the
trip odometer, fuel economy, customization
features, and warning/status messages.
If your vehicle does not have DIC steering wheel
buttons, you will not have all of the features
listed. Scroll through the odometer and trip
odometer by pressing the trip odometer reset
stem located on the instrument panel cluster.
Turn off, or acknowledge, DIC messages
by pressing the trip odometer reset stem.
SeeSpeedometer and Odometer on page 200

DIC Operation and Displays
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on.
After a short delay the DIC will display the
information that was last displayed before the
engine was turned off.
If a problem is detected, a warning message
will appear on the display. Pressing the trip
stem will acknowledge any warning or service
messages. Pressing any of the DIC steering
wheel buttons — trip information, fuel information,
customization, or select button — will also
acknowledge any warnings or service messages.
You should take any message that appears
on the display seriously and remember that
clearing the message will only make the
message disappear, not correct the problem.
The DIC has different modes which can be
accessed by pressing the four DIC buttons
located on the steering wheel. These buttons are
trip information, fuel information, customization,
and select. The button functions are detailed
in the following pages.

DIC Warnings and Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the
driver that the status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be needed to correct
the condition. Multiple messages may appear
one after another.
Some messages may not require immediate
action. Press any of the DIC buttons on the
steering wheel or the trip odometer reset stem
on the instrument panel cluster to acknowledge
that you received the messages and to clear
them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared from the
display because they are more urgent. These
messages require action before they can be
removed from the DIC display. Take any
messages that appear on the display seriously
and remember that clearing the messages will
only make the messages disappear, not correct
the problem.
The following are the possible messages that can
be displayed and some information about them.
