Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by
turning the band with the wiper symbol
on it.
For a single wiping cycle,
turn the band tc
“MIST.” Hold it there until the wipers
start, then let go. The wipers will stop
after one cycle. If you want more cycles,
hold the band on “MIST” longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or
short delay between wipes. This can be
very useful
in light rain or snow. Turn the
band to choose the delay time. The closer
to
“LO,” the shorter the delay. For
steady wiping at low speed, turn the
band away from you
to the “LO’ position.
For high speed wiping, turn the band
further, to
“HI.” To stop the wipers, move
the band to “OFF.”
Heavy snow or ice can overload your
wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop them
until the motor cools. Clear away snow
or
ice to prevent an overload.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Windshield Washer
At the top of the turn signal lever there’s
a paddle with the word
“PUSH” on it. To
spray washer fluid on the windshield, just
push the paddle. The washer will continue
to spray until you release the paddle. The
wipers will clear the window and wipe a
few more times before stopping
or
returning to the previous setting.
In freezing weather, don’t use your
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
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
314 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.

A CAUTION:
Cruise Control can be dangerous
where you can’t drive safely at a
steady speed.
So, don’t use your
Cruise Control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
Cruise Control can be dangerous

fast changes in tire traction can
cause needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Don’t
use Cruise Control on slippery
roads.

“ON.”
A CAUTION:
If you leave your Cruise Control
switch

while using cruise control:
1.
2.
Push in the button at the end of the
lever until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts,
push the 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.
