Windshield Washer
At the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever there’s a
paddle with the word
PUSH on it. To spray washer fluid
on the windshield, push the paddle for less than a
second. The wipers
will clear the window and either
stop or return to your preset speed. For more washer
cycles, push and hold the paddle. Remember, driving
without washer fluid can be dangerous.
A bad mud
splash can block your vision. You could hit another
vehicle or go
off the road. Check your washer fluid
level often.
Some models have a WASHER
FLUID warning, that
indicates
if the fluid level in the windshield washer
reservoir is low. See “Low Washer Fluid Warning Light”
in
the Index.
A CAUTION:
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.
Cruise Control
on the accelerator. his 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.
ProCarManuals.com

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,
you can move the cruise control switch
from ON to
R/A (resume/accelerate)
for about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay
there. Remember that if you hold the switch at
R/A
longer than half a second, th’e vehicle will keep going
faster until you release the switch or apply the brake.
You could
be startled and even lose control. So unless
you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at
R/A.
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.
hsh the button at the end
of the lever, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now
cruise at the higher speed.
Move the cruise switch from ON to R/A. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the switch.
To increase your speed in
very small mounts, move the switch to R/A for less
than half a second and then release it. Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
The accelerate feature will only work after you have set
the cruise control speed by pushing the
SET button.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per
hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h). Your
odometer shows how
far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
The odometer and trip odometer are displayed in the
Driver Information Center on vehicles
so equipped.
Your Pontiac has a tamper resistant odometer.
If you see
silver lines between the numbers, you’ll know that
someone has probably tried
to turn it back, so the
numbers may not be true.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total
of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can’t, then it’s set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver’s door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed. To set it to zero:
On vehicles with the Driver Information Center,
press the button labeled
TRIP.
On vehicles with the LAMP MONITOR, the button
is next to the trip odometer. Push and release in a .
smooth, continuous motion until all zeroes appear.
