Instrument Panel and Interior Lights
When the multi-function control lever is in the parklight,
or headlight position, rotating the center portion of the
lever up and down will increase and decrease the bright-
ness (dimmer control) of the instrument panel lights. Full
daytime brightness on all electronic displays (odometer,
overhead console, radio, and climate control) is obtained
by rotating the center portion of the control to the first
detent above the dimmer range. Rotating the control to
the second detent above the dimmer range turns the
interior lights on. Rotating the control to the “Off”
(extreme bottom) position disables all the interior lights,
even when the doors and liftgate are open. While in the
“Off” position the instrument panel lighting is at the
lowest light level and may not be suitable for night
driving.
Daytime Running Lights — If Equipped
The high beam headlights come on at a low intensity
level after the engine has started. The lights remain on
until the ignition switch is turned OFF or the parking
brake is engaged. The headlight switch must be used for
normal night time driving.
Lights-On Reminder
A chime will sound if the driver’s door is left open, and
the headlights or parking lights are left on.
Fog Lights — If Equipped
The front fog light switch is located in the multi-
function control lever. To activate the fog lights,
turn on the park or low beam headlights and pull
out the end of the lever. The “Fog Light Indicator Light”
will illuminate when the fog lights are on.
NOTE:The fog lights will only operate with the park
lights or the headlights on low beam. Selecting high
beam headlights will turn off the fog lights.

Turn Signals
Move the multi-function control lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument cluster flash to
show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights. You can signal a lane change by moving the lever
partially up or down without moving beyond the detent.
If either light flashes at a very fast rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light
when the lever is moved, it would suggest that the fuse
or indicator is defective.
NOTE:A tone will chime if the turn signals are left on
for more than 2 miles (3.2 km).
High Beam Switch
Pull the multi-function control lever towards you to
switch the headlights to HIGH beam. Pull the multi-
function control lever a second time to switch the head-
lights to LOW beam. The “High Beam Indicator Light”
will illuminate when the high beams are on.
Passing Light
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
lightly pulling the multi-function control lever toward
the steering wheel. This will cause the headlights to turn
on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.
The “High Beam Indicator Light” will illuminate when
the high beams are on.
Interior Lights
The overhead lights will come on when a door is opened,
and when the rotating ring on the multi-function control
lever is in a position other than OFF. They may also be
turned on by rotating the control for the dimmer switch
on the multi-function control lever fully upward or by
pressing the “Unlock” button on the keyfob.
The overhead lights will automatically turn off in about 8
minutes if a door is left open or the dimmer control is left
in the dome light position. Turn the ignition switch ON to
restore the overhead light operation.

beginning at approximately 30 mph (48 km/h).
To Vary The Speed Setting
When the Speed Control is on and set, speed can be
increased by pressing and holding the RES·ACCEL but-
ton. When the button is released, a new set speed will be
established.
Tapping the RES·ACCEL button once will result in a 2
mph (3 km/h) speed increase. Each time the button is
tapped, speed increases, so tapping the button three
times will increase speed by 6 mph (9 km/h), etc.
To decrease speed while speed control is on and set, press
and hold the DECEL button. Release the button when the
desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set.
Tapping the DECEL button once will result in a 1 mph (2
km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is tapped,
speed decreases.

NOTE:To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving
with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off”
mode by pressing the ESP switch. Once the situation
requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial Off” mode is
overcome, turn ESP back on by momentarily depressing
the “ESP Control Switch”. This may be done while the
vehicle is in motion.
4WD Low Range
Partial Off
This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD low
range. Whenever the vehicle is started in 4WD low range
or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 2WD,
4WD high range, or neutral to 4WD low range, the ESP
system will be in this mode. In 4WD low range, ESP and
TCS, except for the “limited slip” feature described in the
TCS section, are turned off until the vehicle reaches a
speed of 30 mph (48 km/h). At 30 mph (48 km/h), thenormal ESP stability function returns but TCS remains
off. When the vehicle speed drops below 25 mph (40
km/h) the ESP system shuts off. ESP is off at low vehicle
speeds in 4WD low range so that it will not interfere with
off-road driving but ESP function returns to provide the
stability feature at speeds above 30 mph (48 km/h). The
“ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will always be illuminated in
4WD low range when ESP is off.
ESP/BAS Warning Lamp
The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is
combined with BAS. The “ESP/BAS Warning
Lamp” and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in
the instrument cluster both come on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They
should go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS
Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine
running, a malfunction has been detected in either the
ESP or the BAS system. If this light remains on after
several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven

several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h),
see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
•TheESP/TCS Indicator Lightand theESP/BAS
Warning Lampcome on momentarily each time the
ignition switch is turned ON.
•Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System
will be ON even if it was turned off previously.
•The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds
will stop when ESP becomes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESP activation.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE — IF EQUIPPED
The overhead console contains dome/reading lights, an
optional universal garage door opener (HomeLink), an
optional sunroof switch, and an Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) that consists of the following:

WARNING!
Even if the display still reads a few degrees above
32°F (0°C), the road surface may be icy, particularly
in woods or on bridges. Drive carefully under such
conditions to prevent an accident and possible per-
sonal injury or property damage.
Step Button
Press the STEP button to cycle through all of the displays.
The displays are: Average Miles/GAL, Miles To Empty,
Trip Miles, Time Elapsed, Miles To Service, Tire PSI, and
Blank Screen.
Average Miles/GAL
Shows the average fuel economy in miles per gallon
(MPG), or liters per 100 km (L/100 km) since the last
reset.Miles To Empty
Shows the estimated distance that can be traveled before
the fuel gauge shows E (Empty). The distance is calcu-
lated by multiplying the amount of fuel remaining by the
projected fuel economy. The distance predicted will
change every few seconds to a higher or lower number as
these factors change. This display cannot be reset.
Trip Miles
Shows the distance traveled since the last reset.
Time Elapsed
Shows the accumulated ignition ON time since the last
reset.
Miles To Service
Shows the amount of miles remaining until service is
required (owner selected).
140 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Tire PSI
Shows the pressure and location of each tire, except for
the spare tire. The tire location will blink when under
pressure.
Blank Screen
Shows a blank screen. Pressing the C/T button returns to
the Compass and Temperature display. Pressing the STEP
button returns you to the Average Miles per Gallon
display.
Automatic Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the compass may appear erratic and the CAL
symbol will be displayed.
After completing three 360 degree turns in an area free
from large metal or metallic objects, the CAL symbol will
turn off and the compass will function normally.
Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the CAL symbol does
not appear, you must manually put the compass into the
“Calibration” mode.
To Put Into a Calibration Mode
Turn on the ignition and set the display to “Compass/
Temperature.” Press and hold the RESET button (more
than 10 seconds) to change the display between VARI-
ANCE (compass variance) and CAL (compass calibra-
tion) modes. When the CAL symbol is displayed com-
plete three 360 degree turns in an area free from large
metal objects or power lines. The CAL symbol will turn
off and the compass will function normally.
Compass Varianceis the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. In some areas of the country,
the difference between magnetic and geographic north is
great enough to cause the compass to give false readings.
If this occurs, the compass variance must be set according
to the Compass Variance Map.

To set the variance: Turn the ignition ON and set the
display to “Compass/Temperature.” Press and hold the
RESET button five seconds (no more than 10 seconds).
The last variance zone number will be displayed. Press
the STEP button to select the new variance zone and
press the RESET button to resume normal operation.
