When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer
fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze
and damage your washer fluid tank and
other parts of the washer system. Also,
water doesn’t clean
as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only
3/4 full
when it’s
very cold. This allows for
expansion, which could damage the tank if
it is completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your
windshield washer. It can damage your
paint. With
cruise control, you
can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise
control does not
work at speeds below about 25 mph
(40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts
Off.

2. Get up to the speed you want.
3.
4.
Push
in the SET button
at the end of the lever
and release
it. The
CRUISE light on the
instrument panel will
come on.
Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal.
To Resume 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 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise
control switch from
ON to
WA (Resume/Accelerate)
for about half
a second.
You’ll go right back up to
your chosen speed and
stay there.
To Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the
first:
1.
2.
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Push in the
SET button, then release the button and
the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher
speed.

Here’s the second way to go to a higher speed:
Move the cruise switch from ON to FUA. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the switch.
0 To increase your speed in very small amounts, move
the switch to
R/A for less than half a second and then
release it. Each time
you do this, your vehicle will go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will
only work after you set the
the cruise control speed by pushing the
SET button.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:
Push in the SET button until you reach the lower
speed you want, then rele~
~ : it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the SET
button for less than half
a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go 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.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal; OR
