2003 Buick Rendezvous Owners Manual

When the PASS-Key@ Ill system senses that someone is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high number of electrical key codes.

2-1 8

When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does not start and the SECURITY message comes on, the key may have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off and try again. If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-96. If the engine still does not start with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer who can service the PASS-Key@ II I to have a new key made. It is possible for the PASS-Key@ Ill decoder to learn the transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up to 10 additional keys may be programmed for the vehicle. This procedure is for learning additional keys only. If all the currently programmed keys are lost or do not operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key@ Ill to have keys made and programmed to the system. See your dealer who can service PASS-Key@ Ill to get a new key blank that is a cut exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.

Canadian Owners: If you lose or damage your keys, only a GM dealer can service PASS-Key@ Ill to have new keys made. To program additional keys you will need two current driver’s keys (black in color). You must add a step to the following procedure. After Step 3 repeat Steps 1 through 3 with the second current driver’s key. Then continue with Step 4. To program the new PK3 key do the following: 1. Verify the new key has PK3 stamped on it. 2. Insert the original key in the ignition and start the engine. If the engine will not start, see your dealer for service.

3. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF,

4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to ON

within 10 seconds of removing the previous key.

5. The SECURITY message will turn off once the key has been programmed. It may not be apparent that the SECURITY message went on due to how quickly the key is programmed.

6. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are to

be programmed.

If you are ever driving and the SECURITY message comes on and stays on, you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key@ Ill system, however, is not working properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS-Key@ Ill system at this time. If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@ Ill key, see your dealer who can service PASS-Key@ Ill to have a new key made.

Starting and Operating Your Vehicle

New Vehicle Break-In

Notice; Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But it will perform better in the long run if you follow these guidelines:

If you have all-wheel drive, keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first 500 miles (805 km). Don’t drive at any one speed - fast or slow - for the first 500 miles (805 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts. Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and earlier replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline every time you get new brake linings. Don’t tow a trailer during break-in. See “Towing a Trailer” in the Index for more information.

2-20

Ignition Positions With the key in the ignition, you can turn the key to four different positions.

A (OFF): This is the only position in which you can remove the key. This position locks the steering wheel, ignition and transaxle.

Notice: If your key seems stuck in OFF and you can’t turn it, be sure you are using the correct key; if so, is it all the way in? If it is, then turn the steering wheel left and right while you turn the key hard. Turn the key only with your hand. Using a tool to force it could break the key or the ignition switch. If none of these works, then your vehicle needs service. B (ACCESSORY): This position allows you to use things like the radio and the windshield wipers when the engine is off. This position will allow you to turn off the engine, but still turn the steering wheel. Use ACCESSORY if you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine is off (for example, if your vehicle is being ptished OT ioiiv.edj. C (ON): This is the position that the switch returns to after you start your engine and release the key. The switch stays in ON when the engine is running. But even when the engine is not running, you can use ON to operate your electrical power accessories, and to d!s;=!a;l s z r e icsfr~mec?f p n p ! \?!srnjnn linhtc

3 “a’”-’

D (START): This position starts the engine. When the engine starts, release the key. The ignition switch will return to ON for normal driving.

If the engine is not running, ACCESSORY and ON are positions that allow you to operate your electrical accessories, such as the radio. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) With RAP, the power windows, the audio system, the sunroof and the Automatic Level Control will continue to work up to 10 minutes after the ignition key is turned to OFF and none of the doors are opened. Starting Your Engine Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Your engine won’t start in any other position - that’s a safety feature. TG restart ?..lhen yeu’re already movinfl 3, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Notice: Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the transaxle. Shift to PARK (P) only when your vehicle is stopped.

Notice: Holding your key in START for longer than 15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to be drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can damage your starter motor. Wait about 15 seconds between each try to help avoid draining your battery or damaging your starter. 2. If the engine doesn’t start in 10 seconds, push the

accelerator pedal about one-quarter of the way down while you turn the key to START. Do this until the engine starts. As soon as it does, let go of the key.

3. If your engine still won’t start (or starts but then

stops), it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing your accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and holding it there as you hold the key in START for a maximum of 15 seconds. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine. If the engine still won’t start or starts briefly but then stops again, repeat Step 1 or 2, depending on the temperature. When the engine starts, release the key and the accelerator pedal.

Notice: Your engine is designed to work with the electronics in your vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer. If you don’t, your engine might not perform properly. Engine Coolant Heater Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater. In very cold weather, 0°F (-18°C) or colder, the engine coolant heater can help. You’ll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum of four hours prior to starting your vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (OOC), use of the coolant heater is not required. To Use the Engine Coolant Heater 1. Turn off the engine. 2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord. The electrical cord is located on the driver’s side of the engine compartment.

3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 1 IO-volt AC outlet.

2-22

outlet

Plugging the cord into an unground,, could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong kind of extension cord could overheat and cause a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the cord into a properly grounded three-prong 11 0-volt AC outlet. If the cord won’t reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for at least 15 amps.

4:

Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and store the cord as it was before to keep it away from moving engine parts. If you don’t, it could be damaged.

How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer depends on the outside temperature, the kind of oil you have, and some other things. ot trying to list everytning nere, we ask inat you coniaci your dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can give you the best advice for that particular area.

Automatic Transaxle Operation

P R N D 3 2 1

Maximum engine speed is limited when you’re in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), to protect driveline components from improper operation. There are several different positions for your shift lever.

PARK (P): This gear position locks your front wheels. It’s the best position to use when you start your engine because your vehicle can’t move easily. Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) before starting the engine. Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock control system. You have to fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P) when the ignition key is in RUN. As you step on the brake pedal, while in PARK (P), you may hear a click from the solenoid of the system. This ensures that the system is operating properly.

2-23

If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever - push the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you wish. See Shifting Out of Park (P) on page 2-30 for more information.

if the

It is dangerous t, get out of your veh,,.e shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. Don’t leave your vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake and move the shift lever to PARK (P). See “Shifting Into Park (P)” in the Index. If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.

REVERSE (R): Use this gear to back up.

Notice: Shifting to REVERSE (R) while your vehicle is moving forward could damage your transaxle. Shift to REVERSE (R) only after your vehicle is stopped. To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice or sand without damaging your transaxle, see If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-32.

NEUTRAL (N): In this position, your engine doesn’t connect with the wheels. To restart when you’re already moving, use NEUTRAL (N) only. Also, use NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed.

Shifting into a drive gear while your engine is “racing” (running at high speed) is dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the brake pedal, your vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or objects. Don’t shift into a drive gear while your engine is racing.

2-24

Notice: Damage to your transaxle caused by shifting into a drive gear with the engine racing isn't covered by your warranty.

AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D): This position is for normal driving. If you need more power for passing, and you're:

Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push your accelerator pedal about halfway down. Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the accelerator all the way down.

You'll shift down to the next gear and have more power. Notice: If your vehicle seems to start up rather " c!n?nrl\r " ..,, or If It seems not to shift 3ears as you nn 3- faster, something may be wrong with a transaxle system sensor. If you drive very far that way, your vehicle can be damaged. So, if this happens, have your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you can use SECOND (2) when you are driving less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE In\ C n w L;mL.nr emnnele- \la/ IWI IIlyIIcI apccua.

Warm-up Shift Your vehicle has a computer controlled transaxle designed to warm up the engine faster when the outside temperature is 35°F (2°C) or colder. You may notice that the transaxle will shift at a higher vehicle speed until the engine is warmed up. This is a normal condition designed to provide heat to the passenger compartment and defrost the windows more quickly. THIRD (3): This position is also used for normal driving, but it offers more power and lower fuel economy than AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D). Here are some times you might choose THIRD (3) instead of AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D): When driving on hilly, winding roads. When towing a trailer (so there is less shifting between gears). When going down a steep hill.

2-25

SECOND (2): This position gives you more power, but lower fuel economy. You can use SECOND (2) on hills. It can help control your speed as you go down steep mountain roads, but then you would also want to use your brakes off and on.

Nofice: Don’t drive in SECOND (2) for more than 25 miles (40 km), or at speeds over 55 mph (90 km/h), THIRD (3) or or you can damage your transaxle. Use AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (D) as much as possible. Don’t shift into SECOND (2) unless you are going slower than 65 mph (105 km/h) or you can damage your engine.

Notice: If your vehicle seems to start up rather slowly, or if it seems not to shift gears as you go faster, something may be wrong with a transaxle system sensor. If you drive very far that way, your vehicle can be damaged. So, if this happens, have your vehicle serviced right away. Until then, you can use SECOND (2) when you are driving less than 35 mph (55 km/h) and THIRD (3) for higher speeds.

FIRST (1): This position gives you even more power (but lower fuel economy) than SECOND (2). You can use it on very steep hills, or in deep snow or mud. If the selector lever is put in FIRST (I), the transaxle won’t downshift into first gear until the vehicle is going slow enough.

2-26

Nofice: If your front wheels won’t turn, don’t try to drive. This might happen if you were stuck in very deep sand or mud or were up against a solid object. You could damage your transaxle. Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold your vehicle there with only the accelerator pedal. This could overheat and damage the transaxle. Use your brakes to hold your vehicle in position on a hill. Parking Brake

The parking brake is located on the driver’s side under the instrument panel.

To set the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot and push down on the parking brake pedal with your left foot.

If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light will come on. See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-40. To release the parking brake, hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot while you push down on the parking brake pedal with your left foot. (To release the tension on the parking brake cable, you will need to apply about the same amount of pressure to the parking brake pedal as you did when you set the parking brake.) When you remove your foot from the parking brake pedal, it will pop up to the released position.

Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can cause your rear brakes to overheat. You may have to replace them, and you could also damage other parts of your vehicle. If you are towing a trailer and are parking on any hill, see Towing a Trailer on page 4-36. That section shows what to do first to keep the trailer from moving.

Shifting Into Park (P)

It can be dangerous to get out of your vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. Your vehicle can roll. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure your vehicle won’t move, even when you’re on fairly level ground, use the steps that follow. If you’re pulling a trailer, see “Towing a Trailer” in the Index.

1. Hold the brake pedal down with your right foot and

set the parking brake with your left foot.

2-27

2. Move the shift lever into PARK (P) like this:

Pull the lever toward you.

Move the lever up as far as it will go.

3. Turn the ignition key to LOCK. 4. Remove the key and take it with you. If you can

leave your vehicle with the ignition key in your hand, your vehicle is in PARK (P).

2-28

Leaving Your Vehicle With the Engine Running

It can be dangerous to leave your vehicle with the engine running. Your vehicle could move suddenly if the shift lever is not fully in PARK (P) with the parking brake firmly set. And, if you leave the vehicle with the engine running, it could overheat and even catch fire. You or others could be injured. Don’t leave your vehicle with the engine running.

Torque Lock If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transaxle into PARK (P) properly, the weight of the vehicle may put too much force on the parking pawl in the transaxle. You may find it difficult to pull the shift lever out of PARK (P). This is called “torque lock.” To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the driver’s seat. To find out how, see Shifting lnto Park (P) on page 2-27. When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of PARK (P) before you release the parking brake. If torque lock does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take scme 3f the pressure from the parking pawl in the transaxle, so you can pull the shift lever out of PARK (P).

If you have to leave your vehicle with the engine running, be sure your vehicle is in PARK (P) and your parking brake is firmly set before you leave it. After ..,..).,- yuu V c I I I V V C U the regular brake pedal down. Then, see if you can move the shift lever away from PARK (P) without first pulling it toward you.

Shiftng Out of Park (P) Your vehicle has an automatic transaxle shift lock control system. You have to fully apply your regular brakes before you can shift from PARK (P), when the ignition is in ON. As you step on the brake pedal, while in PARK (P), you may hear a click from the solenoid of the system. This ensures that the system is operating properly. See Automatic Transaxle Operation on page 2-23. If you cannot shift out of PARK (P), ease pressure on the shift lever by pushing the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) as you maintain brake application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you want. If you ever hold the brake pedal down but still can’t shift out of PARK (P), try this: 1. Turn the ignition key to OFF. 2. Apply and hold the brake until the end of Step 4. 3. Shift to NEUTRAL (N). 4. Start the engine and then shift to the drive gear

you want.

5. Have the vehicle fixed as soon as you can.

Programming the HomeLink@ Transmitter Do not use the HomeLink@ Transmitter with any garage door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse” feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future HomeLink@ programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink@ buttons should be erased for security purposes. Refer to “Programming HomeLink@“ (Step 1 only) or, for assistance, contact HomeLink@ on the internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-351 5. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate operator you are programming. When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. It is recommended that a new battery be installed in your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more accurate transmission of the radio frequency. Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to program up to three channels:

Press and hold down the two outside buttons, releasing only when the indicator light begins to flash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat this step to program a second and/or third transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink@ buttons while keeping the indicator light in view. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired button on HomeLink@ and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until Step 4 has been completed. Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian Programming’’ later in this section. The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly after HomeLink@ successfully receives the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLink@ button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink@ button is pressed and released.

To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons, begin with Step 2 under “Programming HomeLink@.” Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of the programmed channels. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a constant light, continue with Steps 6 through 8 following to complete the programming of a rolling-code equipped device (most commonly a garage door opener). At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink@ button for two seconds, then release. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time, and depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming. HomeLink@ should now activate your rolling code equipped device.

To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming HomeLink@.” Do not repeat Step 1. Gate Operator and Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time out” or quit after several seconds of transmission. This may not be long enough for HomeLink@ to pick up the signal during programming. Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured to “time out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty programming a gate operator by using the “Programming HomeLink@’ procedures (regardless of where you live), replace Step 3 under “Programming HomeLinkm’ with the following: Continue to press and hold the HomeLink@ button while you press and release every two seconds (cycle) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has I.---, UGGI I 3 U ~ b G 3 J I U l l y U b b b y c b u v y I I V I I I U L # # 1 1 , indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly.

Roof Rack System

If you try to carry something on top of your vehicle that is longer or wider than the luggage carrier - like paneling, plywood, a mattress and so forth - the wind can catch it as you drive along. This can cause you to lose control. What you are carrying could be violently torn off, and this could cause you or other drivers to have a collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You may be able to carry something like this inside. But, never carry something longer or wider than the luggage carrier on top of your vehicle.

If you have the luggage carrier, you can load things on top of your vehicle. If you do load things on the top of your vehicle, you must load them on the luggage carrier crossrails.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you to signal a turn or a lane change. To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down. When the turn is finished, the lever will return automatically.

An arrow on the instrument panel cluster and the HUD display will flash in the direction of the turn or lane change.

To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself

when you release it. As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow flashes faster than normal, a signal bulb may be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal. If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-96. 3-8

If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for the trailer lamps, the signal indicator will flash at a normal rate even if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly to make sure they are working. Turn Signal On Chime If either turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound to let the driver know to turn it off. If you need to leave the signal on for more than 3/4 mile (1.2 km), turn off the signal and then turn it back on. Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer To change the headlamps from low to high, simply push the turn signal lever away from you. Then release it. To change the headlamps from high to low, pull the lever toward you.

When the high beams are on, this light, on the instrument panel cluster and the HUD display, will also be on.

Flash-to-Pass When the headlamps are off, pull the lever toward you to momentarily switch on the high beams (to signal that you are going to pass). When you release the lever, they will turn off. Windshield Wipers You control the windshield wipers by turning the band marked WIPER. For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the band on mist longer. For delayed wiping cycles, you can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to LO (low), the shorter the delay time. For steady wiping cycles, at low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO position. For high-speed wiping, turn the band further to HI (high). To stop the wipers, turn the band to OFF. Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they’re frezen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. Windshield Washer To wash your windshield, push and hold the paddle with the windshield washer symbol. The washers and wipers will operate. When you release the paddle, the washers will stop, and the wipers will continue to operate for two cycles, unless your wipers had already been on. In that case, the wipers will resume the wiper speed you had selected earlier.

In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until the Windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision.

Rear Window Washermiper

Cruise Control

The rear window washedwiper switch is located in the instrument panel switchbank.

Cruise control can be dangerous where you can’t drive safely at a steady speed. So, don’t use your 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 needless wheel spinning, and you could lose control. Don’t use cruise control on slippery roads.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction Control System (TGS) on page 4-1 1. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control back on.

Push the wiper symbol on the top of the switch to turn on the intermittent wiper. To turn off the wiper, gently push the bottom of the switch. To wash and wipe the rear window, push in the washer symbol on the bottom of the switch. Washer fluid will spray as long as the switch is held in. When the switch is released, the wiper will continue to cycle three more times. There is only one washer fluid reservoir for the front and rear windshield wipers. See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-36. To wash the rear window when the rear wiper is already on, push the bottom of the switch. Push in the top of the switch to continue the intermittent wiper cycle after the washing cycle is completed. 3-1 0

Setting Cruise Control

If you leave your cruise control on when you’re not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you don’t want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the cruise control switch off until you want to use cruise control.

1. Move the cruise control switch, located on the turn

signaVmultifunction lever, to ON.

2. Get up to the speed you want. 3. Push in the SET button at the end of the lever and

release it.

4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Resuming a Set Speed Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then you apply the brake. This, of course, shuts off the cruise control. But you don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about 25 rnph (40 krn/h) or more, you can move the cruise control switch from ON to R/A (resume/accelerate) briefly.

You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there. If you hold the switch at R/A, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch or apply the brake. So unless you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at R/A. Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to go to a higher speed:

Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. Push the SET button at the end of the lever, then release the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed. Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch. (To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to R/A briefly and then release it. Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) $- -+n r \ I a a L c I .J

The accelerate feature will work whether or not you have set an initial cruise control speed.

Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control There are two ways to reduce speed while using cruise control:

Push in the SET button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower speed you want, then release it.

* To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET button briefly. Each time you do this, you’ll go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.

Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.

Using Cruise Control on Hills How well your cruise control will work on hills depends upon your speed, load and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on steep hills. Ending Cruise Control There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal, or move the cruise switch to OFF.

Erasing Speed Memory When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your cruise control set speed memory is erased.

Exterior Lamps

The control on the left side of the steering column operates the exterior lamps.

The exterior lamp control has three positions:

AUTO (Automatic Headlamp ControVOff): Turning the control to this position will activate the automatic headlamps when it is dark enough outside and turn off all lamps and lights during the day except for the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). pg (Parking Lamps): Turning the control to this position turns on the parking lamps together with the following:

Taillamps instrument Panei Lights

fl $io (Headlamps): Turning the control to this position

turns on the headlamps together with the previously listed lamps and lights. Lamps on Reminder If the driver’s door is opened and you turn the ignition to OFF while leaving the lamps on, you will hear a warning chime. Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful in many different driving conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be sure it isn’t covered. The DRL system will make your reduced intensity high-beam I- - - -11 I Iedulal I

When the DRL are on, only your reduced intensity high-beam headlamps will be on. Your instrument panel won’t be lit up. When it’s dark enough outside, the exterior lamps will come on automatically. When it’s bright enough outside, the exterior lamps will go out and the DRL will turn on. Of course, you may still turn on the headlamps any time you need to. As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when you need it. Automatic Headlamp System When the exterior lamps control is turned to AUTO, the headlamps and parking lamps will come on automatically when it is dark enough outside. The lamps will come on automatically if:

It is dark enough outside, the ignition is in ON, the parking brake is released, and the exterior lamps control is in the AUTO position.

Fog Lamps

The fog lamp button is located on the exterior lamp control.

Push the FOG PUSH button to turn the fog lamps on. The FOG light indicates the fog lamps are on. To turn off the fog lamps, press the fog lamp button or turn the ignition off. If you turn on the fog lamps while the DRL are on, the parking lamps will turn on automatically. Your fog lamps will go off when you switch to high beams. When you return to low beam, the fog lamps will come back on. Using your high beams in fog is not recommended.

Interior Lamps

Your interior lamps control is located below the exterior lamps control.

Instrument Panel Brightness This feature controls the brightness of the instrument panel lights. The knob for this feature is located on the interior lamps control. Press the knob and it will extend. Turn the knob clockwise to brighten the lights or counterclockwise to dim them. Press the knob in when not in use. Interior Lamps Control Turn the interior lamp control to one of the following positions: OFF: To turn the interior lamps off.

DOOR: To turn on the interior lamps when any door is opened and when the ignition key is removed from the ignition. ON: To turn the interior lamps on. Headlamp Exit Delay If your vehicle has headlamp exit delay, it will keep the headlamps and parking lamps on at night for 30 seconds if: 0 The ignition is turned to OFF,

the exterior lamp control is in the AUTO position, LOCK is pressed on the remote keyless entry transmitter, and it is dark enough outside.

After 30 seconds, the headlamps and parking lamps will turn off. The lamps will turn off before the 30 seconds if:
