Windshield Washer
K
(Washer Fluid):The lever on the right side of the
steering column also controls the windshield washer.
There is a button at the end of the lever. To spray
washer ¯uid on the windshield, press the button and
hold it. The washer will spray until you release the
button. The wipers will continue to clear the window for

will clean the headlamps.
{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.If the ¯uid in the windshield washer ¯uid reservoir is
low, the message LOW WASHER FLUID will appear on
the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. It will
take 60 seconds after the bottle is re®lled for this
message to turn off. For information on the correct
washer ¯uid mixture to use, see

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Be sure to read this entire section before using this
feature.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
3-9

This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modi®cations to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an enhancement to
traditional cruise control and is not a safety system. ACC
allows you to keep cruise control engaged in moderate
traffic conditions without having to constantly reset
your cruise control. ACC uses radar to detect a vehicle
directly ahead in your path, within a distance of
328 ft (100 m), and operates at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h). When it is engaged by the driver,
ACC can apply limited braking or acceleration of
the vehicle automatically to maintain a selected follow
distance to the vehicle ahead. ACC braking is limited to
0.3 g's (2.95 m/sec2) of deceleration, which is
comparable to moderate application of the vehicle's
brakes. To disengage ACC, apply the brake. If there is
no vehicle in your path, your vehicle will react like
traditional cruise control.
{CAUTION:
ACC will not apply hard braking or bring the
vehicle to a complete stop. ACC will not
respond to stopped vehicles, pedestrians or
animals. When you are approaching a vehicle
or object, ACC may not have time to slow your
vehicle enough to avoid a collision. Your
complete attention is always required while
driving and you should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes. For more information,
see
Defensive Driving on page 4-2.
3-10

Once ACC is set, it may immediately apply the brakes if
it detects a vehicle ahead is too close or moving
slower than your vehicle.
This symbol will appear on
the Head-Up Display
(HUD) to indicate that ACC
is active. See
Head-Up
Display (HUD) on
page 3-27
for more
information.
Make sure the set speed is visible on the HUD so you
know the speed your vehicle will accelerate to if no
vehicle is detected in your path. Keep in mind speed
limits, surrounding traffic speeds and weather conditions
when adjusting your set speed.
Increasing Set Speed While Using ACC
There are two ways to increase set speed:
·Use the accelerator to get to the higher speed.
Press the set button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You will now cruise at the higher speed.
·Move the ACC switch from on to resume/increase.
Hold it there until the desired set speed is displayed
in the HUD, then release the switch. To increase
your set speed in very small amounts, move
the switch brie¯y to resume/increase. Each time
you do this, your vehicle set speed will increase by
1 mph (1.6 km/h). Your vehicle will not reach the
set speed until ACC determines there is no vehicle
in front of you. At that point, your vehicle speed
will increase to the set speed.
Decreasing Set Speed While Using ACC
Press in the set/decrease button on the end of the lever
until you reach the lower speed you want, then
release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, brie¯y press the
set/decrease button. Each time you do this, your
set speed will be 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your ACC at a desired speed and then
you apply the brake. This will disengage the ACC.
But you do not need to reset it.
Once you are going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can move the ACC switch brie¯y from on to
resume/increase. ACC will be engaged with the
previously chosen set speed.

individually by pressing the button for that lamp.
Battery Run-Down Protection
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case the underhood lamp, vanity
mirror lamps, cargo lamps, reading lamps, console
or glove box lamps are accidentally left on or in case
something is plugged into the accessory power outlet or
cigarette lighter. If you leave any of these lamps on,
they will automatically time-out after about 20 minutes.
To reset it, all of the above lamps must be turned
off or the ignition key must be in ON.
