Cruise Control
{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.
With cruise control, a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)or more can be maintained without keeping your foot onthe accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speedsbelow about 40 km/h (25 mph).
When the brakes are applied, cruise control isturned off.
For vehicles with an Allison®or Hydra!Matic 6!speedautomatic transmission, see“Grade Braking and CruiseGrade Braking (Allison Transmission) underTow/HaulModeon page 3!36for an explanation of how cruisecontrol interacts with the Range Selection Mode, tow/haul and grade braking systems.
If the vehicle has StabiliTrak®, and the system beginsto limit wheel spin, cruise control will automaticallydisengage. SeeStabiliTrak®Systemo n p a g e 6!6.When road conditions allow the cruise control to besafely used again, it can be turned back on.

Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) thatestimates the battery's temperature and state of charge.It then adjusts the voltage for best performance andextended life of the battery.
When the battery's state of charge is low, the voltage israised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up.When the state of charge is high, the voltage is loweredslightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has avoltmeter gage or a voltage display on the DriverInformation Center (DIC), you may see the voltagemove up or down. This is normal. If there is a problem,an alert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electricalloads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This isbecause the generator (alternator) may not be spinningfast enough at idle to produce all the power that isneeded for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of thefollowing are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, foglamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan at highspeed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailer loads,and loads plugged into accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of thebattery. It does this by balancing the generator's outputand the vehicle's electrical needs. It can increaseengine idle speed to generate more power, wheneverneeded. It can temporarily reduce the power demandsof some accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, withoutbeing noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levels ofcorrective action, this action may be noticeable to thedriver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC) messagemight be displayed, such as BATTERY SAVERACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, or LOWBATTERY. If this message is displayed, it isrecommended that the driver reduce the electrical loadsas much as possible. SeeDIC Warnings and Messageson page 4!48.
Battery Run-Down Protection
This feature shuts off the dome lamps if they areleft on for more than 10 minutes when the ignition is inLOCK/OFF. This helps to prevent the battery fromrunning down.

The temperature can also be adjusted using eithertemperature knob. Press the up or down arrows on thefan switch, the defrost button, the AUTO button, driver'sside temperature knob, or the air conditioning button toturn the system on when it is off.
Driver and Passenger Side
Temperature Knob
The driver and passenger side temperature knobs areused to adjust the temperature of the air comingthrough the system on the driver or passenger's side ofthe vehicle. The temperature can be adjusted even ifthe system is turned off. This is possible since outsideair always flows through the system as the vehicle ismoving forward unless it is set to recirculation mode.See“Recirculation”later in this section.
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise toincrease or decrease the cabin temperature.The display will show the temperature settingincreasing or decreasing.
Set the passenger temperature setting to match thedriver temperature setting by pressing the passengertemperature knob.
When in defrost mode the passenger temperaturesetting cannot be changed.

Pressing this button when the system is off will turn thesystem on.
Pressing either arrow while using automatic operationwill place the fan in manual operation. The fan settingwill display and the AUTO light will turn off. The airdelivery will remain in automatic operation.
N(Air Delivery Mode Control):Press to change thedirection of the airflow in the vehicle. Repeatedly pressthe button until the desired mode appears on thedisplay.
When the system is turned off, the display goes blankafter displaying the current status of the system.
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument paneloutlets.
)(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the instrumentpanel and floor outlets. Some air is directed towards thewindshield and side window outlets. Cooler air isdirected to the upper vents and warmer air to thefloor vents.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the floor outlets, with someto the windshield, side window outlets, and second rowfloor outlets. In this mode, the system automaticallyselects outside air.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog ormoisture. Air is directed to the windshield, floor outlets,and side window vents. In this mode, the system turnsoff recirculation and runs the air conditioningcompressor unless the outside temperature is close tofreezing. The recirculation mode cannot be selectedwhile in the defog mode.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost from thewindshield more quickly. Air is directed to thewindshield and side window vents, with some directedto the floor vents. In this mode, the systemautomatically forces outside air into the vehicle andruns the air conditioning compressor unless the outsidetemperature is close to freezing. The recirculation modecannot be selected while in the defrost mode.
The passenger temperature control cannot be activatedwhile in defrost mode. If the passenger control knob ispressed, the passenger temperature flashes three timesand will not work. If the passenger control knob isadjusted, the driver temperature indicator changes.The passenger temperature will not be displayed.
If vent, bi-level, or floor mode is selected again, theclimate control system displays the previoustemperature settings.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.

#(Air Conditioning):Press to turn the airconditioning (A/C) compressor on and off. An indicatorlight comes on to show that the air conditioning is on.
Pressing this button when the outside temperatureis too cool for air conditioning will make the airconditioning indicator flash three times and then turn offindicating the air conditioning mode is not available.If the air conditioning is on and the outside temperaturedrops below a temperature which is too cool for airconditioning to be effective, the air conditioning lightturns off to show that the air conditioning mode hasbeen canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hotinside air escape. This helps to reduce the time it takesfor the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system tooperate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from theair, so a small amount of water might drip under thevehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.This is normal.
@(Recirculation):Press to turn the recirculationmode on or off. An indicator light comes on to show thatthe recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the airinside the vehicle. It can be used to help preventoutside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor, defog,or defrost modes. If recirculation is selected with one ofthose modes, the indicator light flashes three times andthen turns off. The air conditioning compressor alsocomes on when this mode is activated. While inrecirculation mode the windows may fog when theweather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, select eitherthe defog or defrost mode and increase the fan speed.
The recirculation mode can also be turned off by turningoff the ignition.
REAR :For vehicles with the rear heating and airconditioning controls. Press the REAR button to turn therear climate control system on or off. SeeRear AirConditioning and Heating System and ElectronicClimate Controls on page 4!26.
