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 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:
D Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch
pedal, if you have a manual transmission vehicle.
D Move the cruise switch to OFF.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display the
message “CRUISE DISENGAGED.”
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Exterior Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps
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 the front turn signal lamps
come on when:
D The ignition is on,
D the headlamp switch is off and
D the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only the front turn signal lamps
will be on. The headlamps, taillamps, sidemarker and
other lamps won’t be on. Your instrument panel won’t
be lit up either.
To idle the vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake while the ignition is in OFF or LOCK. Then start
the vehicle. The DRL, headlamps and parking lamps
will stay off until you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when you need it.
