FCA is enabled when the green light on the button is lit.FCA is disabled when the indicator light is amber.
{WARNING:
•On winding roads, FCA may not detect a
vehicle ahead. You could crash into a vehicleahead of you. Do not rely on FCA onwinding roads.
•When weather limits visibility, such as in fog,
rain, or snow, FCA performance is limited.There may not be enough warning distance tothe vehicle in front of you. Do not rely onFCA in low visibility conditions.
{WARNING:
When FCA is enabled, the Adaptive Cruise
Control switch is on. If you press another Adaptive
Cruise Control button, you might go into cruise
when you do not want to. You could be startled
and even lose control. Be careful not to press
adaptive cruise buttons unless you want to use
cruise control.
Alerting the Driver
The FCA alert symbol willflash and a warning beepwill sound when driveraction may be required.
The alert symbol will flash when:
•Your vehicle is approaching another vehicle too
quickly.
•Your vehicle is following a vehicle ahead of you
much too closely.
SeeDefensive Driving on page 5-2for more information.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
The vehicle ahead symbol, located next to the FCAsymbol, will only appear when a vehicle ahead of you isdetected in your path. If this symbol does not appear,or disappears briefly, FCA will not respond to vehiclesyou may see ahead. The symbol may disappear oncurves, highway exit ramps, or hills. Also, when anothervehicle enters the same lane as you, the FCA systemwill not detect the vehicle until it is completely inyour driving lane.

Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use the high-beam headlamps tosignal the driver in front of you that you want to pass.
The flash-to-pass feature will only work with theheadlamps on. It does not work with Daytime RunningLamps (DRL).
Pull and hold the turn signal lever toward you to use.
If the headlamps are on low beam, pulling the turn signaltowards you will flash the high beams.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper lever is located on the left side ofthe steering column.
Turn the band with the wiper symbol on it to control thewindshield wipers.
8(Mist):For a single wiping cycle, hold it on mist
until the wipers start, then release. The wipers stop afterone wipe. Several wipes, hold the band longer.
6(Delay): Use to set the delay time between wipe
cycles. The wiper speed can be set for a long or shortdelay between wipes. The closer the band is set tothe top of the lever, the shorter the delay.
6(Low Speed):Slow wipes.
1(High Speed):Fast wipes.
9(Off):Turns the wipers off.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before usingthem. If frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen orthaw them. Damaged blades should be replaced.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools.
The vehicle has wiper-activated headlamps. After thewindshield wipers have completed eight wipe cycleswithin four minutes, the headlamps automaticallyturn on. SeeWiper Activated Headlamps on page 4-29for more information.
Rainsense™II Wipers
If the vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor ismounted on the interior of the windshield besidethe rearview mirror and is used to automatically operatethe wipers. This system operates by monitoring theamount of moisture build-up on the windshield. Wipesoccur as needed to clear the windshield dependingon the driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. Inlight rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavyrain or snow, wipes will occur more frequently.

Cruise Control
With cruise control, a speed of approximately 40 km/h(25 mph) or more can be maintained without keepingyour foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not workat speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). A cruise controllight appears in the instrument panel cluster when thecruise control is on.
When the brakes are applied, the cruise controlshuts off.
{WARNING:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not
use the cruise control on winding roads or in
heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads.
On such roads, fast changes in tire traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TractionControl System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin,the cruise control automatically turns off. SeeTractionControl System (TCS) on page 5-6. When roadconditions let you safely use it again, the cruise controlcan be turned back on.
Setting Cruise Control
{WARNING:
If you leave your cruise control on when you are
not using cruise, you might hit a button and go
into cruise when you do not want to. You could be
startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise
control switch off until you want to use cruise
control.

The cruise control buttonsare located on left side ofthe steering wheel.
I(On):Turns on the cruise control system.
+ RES (Resume/Accelerate):Press to make thevehicle accelerate or resume to a previously set speed.
SET– (Set):Press to set the speed.
[(Cancel):Press to cancel cruise control.
Cruise control will not work if the parking brake is set, orif the master cylinder brake fluid level is low.
If the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off.
The cruise light on the instrument panel cluster comeson after the cruise control has been set to the desiredspeed.
1. PressI.
2. Get up to the desired speed.
3. Press the SET– button located on the steeringwheel and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speedand then the brakes are applied. This shuts off thecruise control. But it does not need to be reset.
Once the vehicle is traveling approximately 40 km/h(25 mph) or more, press the +RES (resume/accelerate)button to return to the desired preset speed. Thecruise light displays again.
The vehicle returns to and stays at the preset speed. Ifyou press and hold the +RES button, the vehicle speedincreases until the button is released or the brake isapplied. Do not hold in the +RES button, if you do notwant the vehicle speed to increase.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control works on hills dependsupon the vehicle speed, load, and the steepness of thehills. When going up steep hills, you might have tostep on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’sspeed. When going downhill, you might have to brake orshift to a lower gear to keep the vehicle’s speeddown. Applying the brake or shifting into a lower gearends cruise control. If you need to apply the brakeor shift to a lower gear due to the grade of the downhillslope, you might not want to attempt to use thecruise control feature.
Ending Cruise Control
To turn off the cruise control, step lightly on the brakepedal, or press the cancel button on the steering wheel.
Erasing Speed Memory
The cruise control set speed memory is erased whenthe cruise control or the ignition is turned off.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an enhancement totraditional cruise control. It allows you to keep cruisecontrol engaged in moderate traffic conditions withouthaving to constantly reset your cruise control.ACC uses radar to detect a vehicle directly ahead inyour path, within a distance of 100 m (330 ft), andoperates at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). When it isengaged by the driver, the system can apply limitedbraking or acceleration of the vehicle automatically tomaintain a selected follow distance to the vehicle ahead.Braking is limited to 2.45 m/sec2 (0.25 g’s) ofdeceleration, which is comparable to moderate
