(low speed) or to HI (high speed), depending on the
wiper speed
you want.
DELAY: You can set the wiper speed for a long or short

OFF’: Tun the band to OFF to turn off the wipers.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before
using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
If the blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload. This-moisture
sensor
is mounted on the passenger’s
interior side
of the windshield behind the rearview
mirror and
is used to automatically operate the wipers
by monitoring
the amount of moisture that is on
the windshield.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ventilation Tips
a Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work
far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to
the highest speed for a few moments before
driving
off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging
the inside of the windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.
Use
DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the DEFROST button.
If you select DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or
down.
If you select DEFROST from AUTO, the system
will control the fan speed. The temperature also needs to
be adjusted by turning
the TEMP/AUTO knob.

is not available in the defrost or
defog modes. The lines

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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. Don’t 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:
e
e
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. Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from
driving
in flat or rolling terrain.
