Windshield Wipers
g:
WIPER To control the wipers, turn the band on the multifunction lever.
MIST: Turn the band to “MIST” and then release it for a single wipe
cycle. For more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer.
LO or HI: Turn the band toward you to either LO (low speed) or to HI
(high speed), depending on the wiper speed you want.
DELAY: With this you can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. Move the band to
ON for long delays and the closer you
get to
LO the shorter the delay.
OFF: To turn the wipers off, turn the band to OFF.

or ice can overload your wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop
the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

NOTICE:
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 washer system and paint.
CRUISE CONTROL
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 kmh).

Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.

foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control
speed you set earlier.
113

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
