simultaneously. If this occurs, the Electronic Speed Con-
trol System can be reactivated by pushing the Electronic
Speed Control ON/OFF button and resetting the desired
vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Push and release the ON/OFF button located
on the end of the Electronic Speed Control
lever. The Cruise indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster will illuminate. To turn the system
off, push and release the ON/OFF button a second time.
The Cruise indicator lamp will turn off. Be sure to turn
the Electronic Speed Control system off when not in use.
NOTE: The Electronic Speed Control system will auto-
matically turn off when the engine is turned off.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally
set the system or cause it to go faster than you want.
You could lose control and have an accident. Always
leave the Electronic Speed Control system off when
you are not using it.
To Set a Desired Speed
When the vehicle reaches the speed desired, press down
on the SET DECEL lever and release. Release the accel-
erator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed.
NOTE:
•The vehicle must be traveling at least 25 mph
(40 km/h) for the Electronic Speed Control to set.
•The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed and
on level ground before pressing the SET DECEL lever.

28. Cruise Indicator — If EquippedThis indicator lights when the electronic speed
control system is turned on.
29. Shift Lever Indicator
This display indicator shows automatic transmission
shift lever selection.
30. Seat Belt Reminder Light This light will turn on for several seconds after the
ignition is turned ON as a reminder to “buckle
up.” This light will remain on as long as the seat
belt remains unbuckled.
31. Brake Warning Light This light monitors various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on, it may
indicate 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 reservoir. If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Program (ESP) sys-
tem. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to
the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying
the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during
each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac-
ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic
system. A leak in 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.
