Child Restraint
Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the
time Ð babies and children, too. Every state in the United
States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law,
and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Children 12 years and under should ride properly buck-
led up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash
statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats rather than in the front.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL Ð IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, this device takes over the accelerator
operation at speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
Electronic Speed Control Operation
The speed control lever is located on the right side of the
steering wheel.
To Activate:
Push and release the (ªON/OFFº) button lo-
cated on the end of the speed control lever. The
CRUISE indicator in the instrument cluster will
illuminate. To turn the system OFF, push and
release the (ªON/OFFº) button a second time. The
CRUISE indicator will turn off. Be sure to turn the system
OFF when not in use.
NOTE:
²The Electronic Speed Control System will automati-
cally turn off when the engine is turned off.
²The Electronic Speed Control System is designed to
shut down if you operate multiple speed control
switch-functions simultaneously (i.e. SET and CAN-
CEL). If this occurs, push and release the (ªON/OFFº)
button to reactivate the system and then reestablish
the desired SET speed.

2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three
times within 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
NOTE:If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure.
28. Cruise Indicator Light Ð If Equipped
This indicator lights when the electronic speed
control system is turned on. (See page 147 for
more information.)
29. Transmission Range Indicator
This display indicator shows automatic transmission
gear selection. (See page 281 for more information.)
30. Seat Belt Reminder Light
This light will turn on for several seconds after the
ignition is turned ON as a reminder to ªbuckleup.º This light will remain on as long as the seat belt
remains unbuckled. (See page 48 for more information.)
31. Brake System Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the light turns on, it may indi-
cate that the parking brake is applied, that the
brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the
anti-lock brake system (if equipped).
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-
ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. Failure of either half of the dual brake system is
indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has
dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
