drivers find this to be too much trouble and
do not use cruise control on steep hills.

Disengaging Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise
control:

• Step lightly on the brake pedal, or

depress the clutch pedal, if you have a
manual transmission.

• Press the ON/OFF button on the cruise

control pad.

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

Exterior Lamps

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

The exterior lamp band has three posi-
tions:

(Headlamps):

Turn the band to this position to turn on the
headlamps, together with the following:

• Tail Lamps
• License Plate Lamp
• Instrument Panel Lights

The headlamps will turn off automatically
when the ignition switch is turned to LOCK
or ACC.

(Parking Lamps):

Turn the band to this position to turn on the
parking lamps, together with the previously
listed lamps and lights.

OFF (Off):
Turn the band to this position to turn all
lamps off except the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL).

Lamps On Reminder
You will hear a warning chime when the
exterior lamp band is in the

or

position and driver’s door is open.

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.

The DRL system will make your low-beam
headlamps come on in daylight when the
following conditions are met:

• The ignition is on, and
• the exterior lamp band is in OFF or in the

parking lamp position, and

• the parking brake is released.

When the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, parking lamps and
instrument panel lights will not be illumi-
nated unless you have turned the exterior
lamps control to the parking lamp position.

An indicator light on the secondary infor-
mation center will come on when the DRL
system is on. See “Daytime Running
Lamps Indicator Light” in this section.
