Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
J(Washer Fluid):Press and release
this paddle, located at the top of the turn
signal/multifunction lever, to spray washer
uid on the windshield. The wipers will clear
the windshield and either stop or return to your
preset speed. For more washer cycles, press
and hold the paddle.
_(Heated Washer Fluid):The heated
windshield washer uid system, if your vehicle
has this feature, may be used to help clear
ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from your windshield.Sliding the switch on the turn signal/multifunction
lever to this position and then releasing it will
activate the heated windshield washer uid
system. This activation will initiate four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The rst heated wash/wipe
cycle may take up to 40 seconds to occur,
depending on outside temperature. After the rst
wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to 20 seconds
for each of the remaining cycles. The heated
windshield washer uid system may be turned off
at any time by sliding the switch on the turn
signal/multifunction lever to this position again.
When the heated windshield washer uid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may ow out of the washer
nozzles for a short period of time before washer
uid is sprayed. This is a normal condition.
WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
when the washer uid is low. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 246.

Of course, you will nd experienced and able
service experts in GM dealerships all across North
America. They will be ready and willing to help
if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:
Windshield Washer Fluid:Is the reservoir
full? Are all windows clean inside and outside?
Wiper Blades:Are they in good shape?
Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids:Have you
checked all levels?
Lamps:Are they all working? Are the
lenses clean?
Tires:They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough
for long-distance driving? Are the tires
all inated to the recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts:What is the weather
outlook along your route? Should you
delay your trip a short time to avoid a major
storm system?
Maps:Do you have up-to-date maps?
Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as highway
hypnosis? Or is it just plain falling asleep at the
wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack of
awareness, or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch of road
with the same scenery, along with the hum of the
tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the
rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make
you sleepy. Do not let it happen to you! If it does,
your vehicle can leave the road in less than a
second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First,
be aware that it can happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with
a comfortably cool interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead
and to the sides. Check your rearview mirrors
and your instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest,
service, or parking area and take a nap, get
some exercise, or both. For safety, treat
drowsiness on the highway as an emergency.
