Ambient LightThe overhead console is equipped with an
ambient light feature. This light casts illumina-
tion for improved visibility of the floor center
console and PRNDL area.
Multifunction LeverThe multifunction lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
Turn SignalsMove the multifunction lever up or down and
the arrows on each side of the instrument
cluster flash to show proper operation of the
front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash,
or there is a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator
fails to light when the lever is moved, it
would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
Lane Change AssistTap the lever up or down once, without moving
beyond the detent, and the turn signal (right or
left) will flash three times then automatically turn
off.
Flash-To-PassYou can signal another vehicle with your head-
lights by partially pulling the multifunction lever
toward the steering wheel. This will cause the
high beam headlights to turn on until the lever
is released.
High/Low Beam SwitchPush the multifunction lever toward the instru-
ment panel to switch the headlights to high
beam. Pulling the multifunction back toward the
steering wheel will turn the low beams back on,
or shut the high beams off.

WARNING!(Continued)
Does not predict the lane curvature or
the movement of preceding vehicles and
will not compensate for such changes.
Does not always fully recognize com-
plex driving conditions, which can result
in wrong or missing distance warnings.
Can only apply a maximum of 25% of
the vehicle’s braking capability, and will
not bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
WARNING!
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy
snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex
driving situations (i.e., in highway construc-
tion zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are wind-
ing, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or have
steep uphill or downhill slopes.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
• When towing a trailer up or down steep
slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision or serious personal injury.
The Cruise Control system has two control
modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintain-
ing an appropriate distance between ve-
hicles.
• Normal (fixed speed) cruise control mode for
cruising at a constant preset speed. For
additional information, refer to “Normal
(Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode” in this
section.
NOTE:
The system will not react to preceding ve-
hicles. Always be aware of the mode se-
lected. You can change the mode by using the Cruise
Control buttons. The two control modes func-
tion differently. Always confirm which mode is
selected.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Operation
The speed control buttons (located on the right
side of the steering wheel) operates the ACC
system.
1 — DISTANCE SETTING
2 — RES
+
3 — SET -
4 — CANCEL
5 — ON/OFF
6 — MODE
11 8

To Vary The Speed Setting
There are two ways to change the set speed:
•Use the accelerator pedal to adjust the ve-
hicle to the desired speed and press the SET
-button.
• Tap the RES +or SET -button to increase or
decrease the set speed in 0.6 mph (1 km/h)
increments respectively. Hold the RES +or
SET -button for 6 mph (10 km/h) increments.
To Cancel
The system will disable normal Cruise Control
without erasing the memory if:
• You softly tap or depress the brake pedal.
• You press the CANCEL button.
• The Electronic Stability Control/Traction Con-
trol System (ESC/TCS) activates.
To Resume
Press the RES +button and then remove your
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 push the ON/OFF button.
• You turn off the ignition.
• 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 warning message (both audible
and visual) will be displayed on the EVIC. When
the system determines a collision with the ve- hicle in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
When entering or driving in a curve, the FCW
alerts may be triggered on objects other than
vehicles such as guard rails or sign posts
based on the course prediction. This is ex-
pected and is a part of normal FCW activation
and functionality.
NOTE:
The minimum speed for FCW activation is
10 mph (16 km/h).

following distance in the ACC system, this
message will display momentarily. Refer to
“Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)” in “Under-
standing The Features Of Your Vehicle” (if
equipped).
• Brake — If the ACC system predicts that its
maximum braking level is not sufficient to
maintain the set distance, this message will
flash and a chime will sound while ACC
continues to apply its maximum braking ca-
pacity. When this occurs, you should imme-
diately apply the brakes as needed to main-
tain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

•Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated en-
gine condition. As temperatures rise
and the gauge approaches H,this
indicator will illuminate and a single
chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
Further overheating will cause the temperature
gauge to pass H,a continuous chime will occur
until the engine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is
on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the tempera-
ture reading does not return to normal, turn the
engine off immediately and call for service.
Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “What To
Do In Emergencies” for more information.
• Transmission Temperature Light
This light indicates that there is
excessive transmission fluid tem-
perature that might occur with se-
vere usage such as trailer towing.
It may also occur when operating
the vehicle in a high torque con-
verter slip condition, such as 4-wheel-drive
operation (e.g., snow plowing, off- road opera- tion). If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and
run the engine at idle or faster, with the trans-
mission in NEUTRAL until the light goes off.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Indicator illuminated will eventu-
ally cause severe transmission damage or
transmission failure.
WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature Warning
Light is illuminated and you continue operat-
ing the vehicle, in some circumstances you
could cause the fluid to boil over, come in
contact with hot engine or exhaust compo-
nents and cause a fire.
Engine Oil Change Indicator System
Oil Change Due
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” message will flash in the EVIC display for
approximately 10 seconds after a single chime
has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indica-
tor system is duty cycle based, which means
the engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to
display each time you turn the ignition switch to
the ON/RUN position or cycle the ignition to the
ON/RUN position if equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go. To turn off the message temporar-
ily, press and release the MENU button. To
reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance) refer
to the following procedure.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless
Enter-N-Go
1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the
ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the
ignition to the ON/RUN position (Do not start
the engine.)
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly,
three times within 10 seconds.
