The LOW WASHER
FLUID light will appear
when your vehicle is low
on washer fluid.
If you see this light while driving, your vehicle's washer
fluid is low. You should refill the windshield washer
fluid tank as soon as possible so that you'll have washer
fluid when you need it.
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 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control
shuts off.
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 on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast changes
in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control.
Don't use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the optional
traction control system begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control will automatically disengage.
See ªTraction Control Systemº in the Index.
When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may turn the cruise control back on.

2-38
Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you're not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you don't want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
1. Press the CRUISE
button on the right side
of the instrument panel
to turn it on. A light on
the button will indicate
that the system is on.2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press the COAST SET
button on your steering
wheel and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator.
The CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster will
come on after the cruise control has been set to the
desired speed. It will go off when you do the following:

Step lightly on the brake pedal,

press CLEAR on the steering wheel or

press the CRUISE button on the instrument panel.

2-39
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course shuts off
the cruise control. But you don't need to reset it.
Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
press the RES ACCEL button on your steering wheel.
You'll go right back up to your chosen speed and
stay there.
Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:

Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Press the COAST SET button on the steering wheel,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You'll now cruise at the higher speed.

Press the RES ACCEL button on the steering wheel.
Hold it there until you get up to the speed you want
and then release the button. (To increase your speed
in very small amounts, press the RES ACCEL button
briefly and then release it. Each time you do this,
your vehicle will go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.)
The accelerate feature will only work after you set the
cruise control speed by pressing the COAST SET button
on the steering wheel.Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using
cruise control:

Press the COAST SET button on the steering
wheel until you reach the lower speed you want,
then release it.

To slow down in very small amounts, press the
COAST SET button on the steering wheel briefly
and then release it. 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 speed you set earlier.

2-40
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.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to cancel the cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal,

press CLEAR on the steering wheel or

press the CRUISE button on the instrument panel.
Erasing Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.Exterior Lamps

on the left of the steering wheel. They control the
following systems:
