WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driv-
ing. Adjusting the steering column while driv-
ing or driving with the steering column un-

HEATED STEERING WHEEL —
IF EQUIPPED
The steering wheel contains a heating element
that helps warm your hands in cold weather.
The heated steering wheel has only one tem-
perature setting. Once the heated steering
wheel has been turned on it will operate for
approximately 58 to 70 minutes before auto-
matically shutting off. The heated steering
wheel can shut off early or may not turn on
when the steering wheel is already warm.
The heated steering wheel switch is located on
the switch bank below the climate controls.Press the switch to turn
on the heated steering
wheel. The light on the
switch will illuminate to
indicate the steering
wheel heater is on.
Pressing the switch a
second time will turn off
the heated steering
wheel and light indica-
tor.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
steering wheel to operate.
Vehicles Equipped with Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start,
the heated steering wheel and seat can be
programmed to come on during a remote start.
Refer to “Remote Starting System — If
Equipped” in “Things to Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” for further information.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medi-
cation, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care
when using the steering wheel heater. It
may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, especially if used for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering
wheel that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause the
steering wheel heater to overheat.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLWhen engaged, the Electronic Speed Control
takes over accelerator operations at speeds
greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control buttons are lo-
cated on the right side of the steering wheel.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Operation
The speed control buttons (located on the right
side of the steering wheel) operates the ACC
system.NOTE:
Any chassis/suspension modifications to
the vehicle will effect the performance of the
Adaptive Cruise Control.
Activating Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)
You can only activate ACC if the vehicle speed
is above 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the system is turned on and in the READY
state, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) displays “Adaptive Cruise Ready.”
When the system is OFF, the EVIC displays
“Adaptive Cruise Control Off.”
NOTE:
You cannot enable ACC under the following
conditions:
•
When in Four-Wheel Drive Low.
• When you apply the brakes.
• When the parking brake is set.
• When the automatic transmission is in
PARK, REVERSE or NEUTRAL.
• When pushing the RES + button without a
previously set speed in memory.
To ActivatePush and release the ON/OFF button. The ACC
menu in the EVIC displays “Adaptive Cruise
Ready.”
To turn the system OFF, push and release the
ON/OFF button again. At this time, the system
will turn off and the EVIC will display “Adaptive
Cruise Control Off.”

NOTE:
If ACC is resumed or set with the ESC/TCS
off, ESC will automatically be re-engaged.
To Turn OffThe system will turn off and erase the set speed
in memory if:
•You push and release the ON/OFF button.
• You turn OFF the ignition.
• You switch off ESC.
• You switch to Four-Wheel Drive Low.
To Resume SpeedPress the RES +button and release. Then
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
The EVIC will display the last set speed.
NOTE:
You can resume ACC from a minimum of
20 mph (32 km/h).
WARNING!
The Resume function should only be used if
traffic and road conditions permit. Resuming a
set speed that is too high or too low for
prevailing traffic and road conditions could
cause the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate
too sharply for safe operation. This could
cause a collision and/or serious injury.
To Vary the Speed SettingWhile ACC is set, you can increase the set
speed by pressing and holding the RES +
button. If the button is continually pressed, the
set speed will continue to increase in 5 mph
(10 km/h) increments until the button is re-
leased. The increase in set speed is reflected in
the EVIC display. Pressing the RES
+button once will result in a
1 mph (2 km/h) increase in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in an
increase of 1 mph (2 km/h).
While ACC is set, the set speed can be de-
creased by pressing and holding the SET -
button. If the button is continually pressed, the
set speed will continue to decrease in 5 mph
(10 km/h) increments until the button is re-
leased. The decrease in set speed is reflected
in the EVIC display.
Pressing the SET -button once will result in a
1 mph (2 km/h) decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a de-
crease of 1 mph (2 km/h).
NOTE:
• When you use the SET - button to decel-
erate, if the engine’s braking power does
not slow the vehicle sufficiently to reach
the set speed, the brake system will auto-
matically slow the vehicle.
• The ACC system can only apply a maxi-
mum of 25% of the vehicle’s braking ca-
pability and will not bring the vehicle to a
complete stop.

A Proximity Warning will alert the driver if ACC
predicts that its maximum braking level is not
sufficient to maintain the set distance. If this
occurs, a visual alert “BRAKE” will flash in the
EVIC and a chime will sound while ACC con-
tinues to apply its maximum braking capacity.
When this occurs, you should immediately ap-
ply the brakes as needed to maintain a safe
distance from the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) MenuThe EVIC displays the current ACC system
settings. The EVIC is located in the upper part
of the instrument cluster between the speed-ometer and the tachometer. The information it
displays depends on ACC system status.
Menu Button
Press the MENU button (located
on the steering wheel) repeatedly
until one of the following displays
in the EVIC:
Adaptive Cruise Control Off When ACC is deactivated, the display willread “Adaptive Cruise Control Off.”
Adaptive Cruise Control Ready When ACC is activated but the vehiclespeed setting has not been selected, the
display will read “Adaptive Cruise Control
Ready.”
ACC SET When ACC is set, the set speed willdisplay.
The set speed will continue to display in
place of the odometer reading when
changing the EVIC display while ACC is
set. The ACC screen will display once again if any
ACC activity occurs, which may include any of
the following:
•Set Speed Change
• Distance Setting Change
• System Cancel
• Acquisition/Loss of Target
• Driver Override
• System Off
• ACC Proximity Warning
• ACC Unavailable Warning

foot from the accelerator pedal. The EVIC will
display the last set speed.
To Turn Off
The system will turn off and erase the set speed
in memory if:

• You turn off the ignition.
• You switch off ESC.
• You engage Four-Wheel Drive Low.
If the Cruise Control system is turned off and
reactivated, the system will return to the last
driver setting (ACC or Normal Cruise Control).Forward Collision Warning —
If Equipped
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) warns the
driver of a potential collision with the vehicle in
front of you and prompts the driver to take
action in order to avoid the collision.
FCW monitors the information from the forward
looking sensor as well as the Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC), wheel speed sensors, i.e., to
calculate a probable rear-end collision. When
the system determines that a rear-end collision
is probable a visual warning is displayed on the
EVIC, and an audible warning is also provided.
When the system determines a collision with
the vehicle in front of you is no longer probable,
the warning message will be deactivated.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not in-
tended to avoid a collision on its own. The
driver has the responsibility to avoid a colli-
sion by controlling the vehicle via braking and
steering. Failure to follow this warning could
lead to serious injury or death.
