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,
your 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
203

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

normal brightness, together with the following:
Parking Lamps
Instrument Panel Lights
Taillamps
License Plate Lamps

License Plate Lamps
204

Headlamps on Reminder
A reminder chime will sound when the headlamps
or parking lamps are manually turned on and
your ignition is off and a door is open. To disable
the chime, turn the light off then back on.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional DRL are required on all
vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on
The exterior lamps control is in AUTO
The light sensor determines it is daytime
When the DRL are on, only your DRL lamps will
be on. The taillamps, sidemarker and other
lamps will not be on. The instrument panel back
lighting will not be on either.When it begins to get dark, the automatic
headlamp system will switch from DRL to the
headlamps.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the
headlamps will go off.
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.
205

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 207.
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 205for 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 (With DIC Buttons) on page 262.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when needed.
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.
206

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

when you remove the key 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.

than 8 feet (2.5 meters) behind the vehicle.
This detection distance limit may be
reduced during warm weather or high
humidity. Also, the system does not
detect objects that are below your
bumper, underneath your vehicle, or some
objects very close to the vehicle. The
system is not designed to detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.
So, unless you check carefully behind
your vehicle while you are backing up,
they could be injured or killed.
