Deceleration Mode
Deceleration Mode reduces the vehicle speed at a
constant rate.
While in cruise control, activate Deceleration Mode
by turning on the engine brake (
Fig. 7.23 , lever po-
sition 1, 2, or 3). The vehicle will decelerate at a con-
stant rate until the vehicle comes to a stop, unless
the accelerator pedal is applied to override the decel-
eration, or the lever is moved to "engine brake off"
(position 0).
Moving the lever to position 0 resumes the previously
set cruise control speed.
Enhanced Stability Control
(ESC)
WARNING
Enhanced Stability Control is intended only as an
aid for a conscientious and alert driver. Carefully
read the information in this manual to understand
this system and its limitations. ESC is not a sub-
stitute for safe driving procedures. Failure to
drive safely, and use the system properly, could
result in personal injury and/or death and prop-
erty damage.
An amber-colored dash indicator light ( Fig. 7.24 ),
indicate that the vehicle is equipped with roll stability
system components.
The roll stability system uses a lateral-acceleration
sensor that monitors rollover risk. Shortly after a
curve, lane change, or other driving maneuver that
results in a rollover-risk detection, a dash warning
light illuminates and an audible tone sounds. The
purpose is to advise the driver that the previous ma-
neuver produced a rollover risk.
