These lights can only be turned on with ignition key in
the STOP position or removed, by moving the end of the
multifunction lever to O (off) position and then to the
headlight position.
The warning light telltale in the instrument panel comes

You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
partially pulling the multifunction lever toward the steer-
ing wheel. This will cause the high beam headlights to
turn on until the lever is released.
Follow Me Home/Headlight Delay
When this feature is selected the driver can choose to
have the headlights remain on for a preset period of time.
Activation
Remove the key or turn the ignition to the OFF/LOCK
position, and pull the multifunction lever toward the
steering wheel, within two minutes. Each time the lever

NOTE:In order to ensure proper operation, the Elec-
tronic Speed Control System has been designed to shut
down if multiple Speed Control functions are operated at
the same time. If this occurs, the Electronic Speed Control
System can be reactivated by rotating the Electronic
Speed Control ON/OFF center ring and resetting the
desired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Rotate the center ring upward on the electronic speed
control lever to turn the system ON. The Cruise Indicator
Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate. To turn
the system OFF, rotate the center ring upward a second
time. The Cruise Indicator Light will turn off. The system
should be turned off when not in use.
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 system OFF when you are not using it.
To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Electronic Speed Control ON. When the vehicle
has reached the desired speed, move the electronic speed
control lever upward SET(+) and release. Release the
accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected
speed.
NOTE: The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed
and on level ground before moving the electronic speed
control lever upward SET(+).

6. Park/Headlight ON Indicator — If EquippedThis indicator will illuminate when the park
lights or headlights are turned on.
7. Odometer/Trip Odometer/Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) Display Area
This display indicates the total distance the vehicle has
been driven.
U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair
technician should leave the odometer reading the same
as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so,
then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must
be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was
before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to
make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/ service, so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or
that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer
must be reset at zero.
Shift Lever Status (PRND)
The shift lever status “P,R,N,D,1,2,3,4,5,6” are displayed
indicating the shift lever position. Telltales “1,2,3,4,5,6”
indicate the manual mode has been engaged and the gear
selected is displayed. Refer to “Six-Speed Automatic
Transmission” in “Starting And Operating” for further
information on ERS.
8. External Light Failure Indicator — If Equipped

on when a failure to one of the following lights
is detected:
