Security System
The security system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and a combination of headlights, parking/side marker lights, and taillights flash if someone attempts to break into your vehicle or remove the radio. This alarm continues for 2 minutes, then the system resets. To reset an alarming system before the 2 minutes have elapsed, unlock either front door with the remote or the built-in key.
The security system automatically sets 15 seconds after you lock the doors, close the hood, and close the trunk. For the system to activate, you must lock the doors from the outside with the remote, built-in key, lock tab, or door lock switch. The security system indicator on the instrument panel starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itself.
276
SECURITY SYSTEM INDICATOR
Once the security system is set, opening any door or the hood without using the built-in key or the remote will cause it to sound. It also sounds if the radio is removed from the dashboard or the audio system wiring is cut.
With the system set, you can still open the trunk with the remote without triggering the alarm. The alarm will sound if the trunk lock is forced, or the trunk is opened with the trunk release button on the driver’s door or the emergency trunk opener.
The security system will not set if the hood, trunk, or any door is not fully closed. If the system will not set, check the Door and Trunk Open monitor on the instrument panel (see page trunk are fully closed. Since it is not part of the monitor display, manually check the hood.

Cruise Control
Cruise control may not hold the set speed when you are going up and down hills. If your speed increases going down a hill, use the brakes to slow down. This will cancel cruise control. On models with adaptive cruise control (ACC), this also causes the cruise control icon on the multi-information display to go off and the cruise mode icon to come on. To resume the set speed, press the RES/ACCEL button. The CRUISE CONTROL icon on the multi- information display will come back on.
When climbing a steep hill, the automatic transmission may downshift to hold the set speed.
Changing the Set Speed You can increase the set cruising speed in any of these ways:
Press and hold the RES/ACCEL button. When you reach the desired cruising speed, release the button.
Push on the accelerator pedal. Accelerate to the desired cruising speed, then press the SET/ DECEL button.
To increase your speed in very
small amounts, tap the RES/
ACCEL button. Each time you do
this, the vehicle speeds up about 1
mph (1.6 km/h).
You can decrease the set cruising speed in any of these ways:
Press and hold the SET/DECEL button. Release the button when you reach the desired speed.
To slow down in very small amounts, tap the SET/DECEL button. Each time you do this, your vehicle will slow down about 1 mph (1.6 km/h).
Tap the brake pedal lightly with your foot. The CRUISE CONTROL indicator or ACC indicator on the instrument panel and the CRUISE CONTROL icon on the multi-information display will go out. When the vehicle slows to the desired speed, press the SET/DECEL button.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Overview Adaptive cruise control (ACC) allows you to maintain a set speed and keep the vehicle ahead of you and your vehicle at a safe distance without having to use the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
When the vehicle ahead of you slows down or speeds up, ACC senses the change in distance and compensates by accelerating or braking your vehicle to reach the cruising speed you previously set. The distance between vehicles is based on your speed: the faster you go, the longer the distance will be; the slower you go, the shorter it will be.
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down suddenly or another vehicle cuts in front of your vehicle, ACC alerts you by sounding a beeper and displaying a message on the multi- information display. The ACC radar sensor in the front grille can detect and monitor the distance of a vehicle up to 328 feet (100 meters) ahead of your vehicle. For more information on the radar sensor, see page
362
Important Safety Precautions As with any system, there are limits to ACC. Inappropriate use of ACC can result in a serious accident. Use the brake pedal whenever necessary, and always keep a safe distance between your vehicle and other vehicles.
Do not use ACC under these conditions:
In poor visibility. In heavy traffic. When you must slow down and speed up repeatedly. On winding roads. When you enter a toll gate, interchange, service area, parking area, etc. In these areas, there is no vehicle ahead of you, but ACC would still try to accelerate to your set speed. In bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.) On a slippery road (for example a road covered with ice or snow).

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Operating Characteristics
Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash.
Use ACC only when traveling on open highways in good weather.
Whenthereisnovehicleaheadwithin ACCrange Your vehicle will maintain a set cruising speed.
WhenavehicleaheadiswithinACC rangeandgoingslowerthanyourset speed If the vehicle ahead of you is going slower than your set speed, your vehicle will slow down to the speed of that vehicle. Your vehicle will then follow at a constant distance until the vehicle ahead changes speed again.

2008 RL 07/05/17 09:28:05 31SJA630 0288
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beeper sounds and a message appears on the multi- information display to warn you.
In the case, decelerate your vehicle by pressing the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate distance from the vehicle ahead.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
WhenavehicleaheadiswithinACC rangeandgoingatasteadyspeed Your vehicle follows the vehicle ahead of it, keeping a constant distance. ACC will not keep your vehicle at a constant distance if the vehicle ahead of you goes out of range of your set speed.
If the vehicle ahead of you slows down and changes lanes, ACC no longer tracks it. Your vehicle will then return to your set speed.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Limitations
ACC does not work below 25 mph (40 km/h). It cannot bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
ACC will not sound a beeper or display a message on the multi- information display to warn you of vehicles going slower than 13 mph (20 km/h) or vehicles that are parked. In these cases, it is up to you to maintain a safe distance by using the brake pedal.
ACC may not recognize motorcycles or other small vehicles ahead of your vehicle.
ACC may react to vehicles beside you or even building beside you by momentarily applying the brakes or sounding a beeper under conditions such as a sudden curve or narrowing of the road, an abrupt movement of the steering wheel, or if you are in an unusual position within your lane.

HomeLink Universal Transceiver
The HomeLink Universal Transceiver built into your vehicle can be programmed to operate up to three remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or home security systems.
General Safety Information Before programming your HomeLink to operate a garage door opener, confirm that the opener has an external entrapment protection system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye,’’ or other safety and reverse stop features.
If your garage door was manufactured before April 1, 1982, you may not be able to program HomeLink to operate it. These units do not have safety features that cause the motor to stop and reverse it if an obstacle is detected during closing, increasing the risk of injury. Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features.
Units manufactured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with safety stop and
reverse features. If your unit does
not have an external entrapment
protection system, an easy test to
confirm the function and
performance of the safety stop and
reverse feature is to lay a 2
under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood.
As an additional safety feature,
garage door openers manufactured
after January 1, 1993 are required to
have external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing
the door.
×
Important Safety Precautions Refer to the safety information that came with your garage door opener
to test that the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have this information, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Before programming HomeLink to a garage door or gate opener, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential injury or damage. When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage.

If you just
Training HomeLink Beforeyoubegin received your vehicle and have not trained any of the buttons in HomeLink before, you should erase any previously learned codes before training the first button. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons on the HomeLink transceiver for about 20 seconds, until the red indicator flashes. Release the buttons, then proceed to step 1.

5.
If the red indicator in HomeLink continues to flash slowly (does not begin to flash rapidly), repeat steps 1 thru 3.
Test the HomeLink button by pushing it for about 1 second.
If the button works, programming is complete. If the button does not work go to step 5.
Push and hold the HomeLink button and watch the red indicator on HomeLink.
If the indicator stays on, press
the HomeLink button again; the
remotely controlled device
should operate.

Repeat these steps to train the other two HomeLink buttons to operate any other compatible remotely controlled devices around your home (lighting, automatic gate, security system, etc.).
Training With a Rolling Code System For security purposes, newer garage door opening systems use a ‘‘rolling’’ or variable code. Information from the remote control and the garage door opener is needed before HomeLink can operate the garage door opener.
The ‘‘Training HomeLink’’ procedure trains HomeLink to the proper garage door opener code. The following procedure synchronizes HomeLink to the garage door opener so it sends and receives the correct codes.
