mately 15 seconds when the vehicle security
alarm is arming, and then will flash slowly
until the vehicle is disarmed.
Yellow Warning Lights
— Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Fault
Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to indicate
a fault in the ACC system. Contact a local
authorized dealer for service.
For further information, refer to “Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC)” in “Starting And Oper-
ating.”
— Electronic Park Brake Warning
Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate
the Electronic Park Brake is not functioning

cluster will come on when the ignition isplaced in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN posi-
tion, and when ESC is activated. It should go
out with the engine running. If the “ESC
Indicator Light” comes on continuously with
the engine running, a malfunction has been
detected in the ESC system. If this warning
light remains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed
and corrected.
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the
“ESC Indicator Light” come on momen-
tarily each time the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or click-
ing sounds when it is active. This is normal;
the sounds will stop when ESC becomes
inactive.
• This light will come on when the vehicle is
in an ESC event.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated
Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II.
This system monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic transmis-
sion control systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will provide
excellent performance and fuel economy, as
well as emissions well within current govern-
ment regulations.If any of these systems require service, the
OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diag-
nostic codes and other information to assist
your service technician in making repairs.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, see an authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
• Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle
must be serviced before any emissions
tests can be performed.
• If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter dam-
age and power loss will soon occur. Im-
mediate service is required.

switch.
5. The STOP/START system will reset itself
back to an ON condition every time the
key is turned off and back on.
To Manually Turn On The Stop/Start
System
Push the STOP/START Off switch (located on
the switch bank). The light on the switch will
turn off.
SPEED CONTROL
The Speed Control buttons are located on the
right side of the steering wheel.
NOTE:
Do not place the gear selector in neutral when
Speed Control is activated. Doing so will
disengage the system.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the con-
ditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Speed Con-
trol in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
To Activate
Push the on/off button to activate the Speed
Control. The cruise indicator light in the in-
strument cluster display will illuminate. To
turn the system off, push the on/off button a
second time. The cruise indicator light will
turn off. The system should be turned off
when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Speed Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could acci-
dentally set the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. You could lose con-
trol and have an accident. Always leave the
system off when you are not using it.

tion to OFF, erases the set speed from
memory.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE
CONTROL (ACC) — IF
EQUIPPED
If your vehicle is equipped with Adaptive
Cruise Control, the controls operate exactly
the same as the Speed Control with only a
couple of differences. With this option, you
can set a specified distance you would like to
maintain between you and the vehicle in
front of you.
NOTE:
• If the sensor does not detect a vehicle
ahead of you, ACC will maintain a fixed set
speed.

• If the ACC sensor detects a vehicle ahead,
ACC will apply limited braking or accelera-
tion (not to exceed the original set speed)
automatically to maintain a preset follow-
ing distance, while matching the speed of
the vehicle ahead.
WARNING!
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a con-
venience system. It is not a substitute
for active driving involvement. It is al-
ways the driver’s responsibility to be at-
tentive of road, traffic, and weather con-
ditions, vehicle speed, distance to the
vehicle ahead; and, most importantly,
brake operation to ensure safe operation
of the vehicle under all road conditions.
Your complete attention is always re-
quired while driving to maintain safe
control of your vehicle. Failure to follow
these warnings can result in a collision
and death or serious personal injury.
• The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, on-
coming vehicles, and stationary ob-
WARNING!
jects (e.g., a stopped vehicle in a
traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and
weather conditions into account,
and may be limited upon adverse
sight distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize
complex driving conditions, which
can result in wrong or missing dis-
tance warnings.
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete
stop while following a target vehicle
and hold the vehicle for approxi-
mately 3 minutes in the stop posi-
tion. If the target vehicle does not
start moving within 3 minutes the
parking brake will be activated, and
the ACC system will be cancelled.
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 con-
struction zones).
WARNING!
• When entering a turn lane or highway off
ramp; when driving on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or
have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep
slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe
driving at a constant speed.
Activating Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC )
Push and release the Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) on/off button.
The minimum set speed for the ACC system is
19 mph (30 km/h).
When the system is turned on and in the
ready state, the instrument cluster display
will read “ACC Ready.”
When the system is off, the instrument clus-
ter display will read “Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC) Off.”
