wiper fluid PONTIAC BONNEVILLE 1996 Owners Manual

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.

The exit speed is usually posted.
Reduce your speed according to
your speedometer, not
to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds, you may tend
to think you are going
slower than
you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long Trip
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you
. must start when you’re not fresh -- such as after a day’s
work
-- don’t plan to make too many miles that first part
of the journey. We,ar comfortable clothing and
shoes you
can easily drive in.
Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it’s ready to
go. If it needs
service, have it done before starting out.

ready and willing to help,if you need
