WASHER LEVER
Windscreen Wipers
To turn the windscreen wipers on, move the
lever down to one of the three operating
positions. In the “INT” position, (if equipped)
the wipers operate intermittently. The “INT”
position is very convenient for driving in mist
or light rain. In the “LO” position the wipers
operate at a steady low speed. In the “HI”
position, the wipers operate at a steady high
speed. To turn off the wipers, move the
lever back to the “OFF” position.

Some times, such as when changing lanes,
the steering wheel is not turned far enough
to cancel the turn signal. For convenience,
you can flash the turn signal by moving the
lever part way and holding it there. The
lever will return to its normal position when
you release it.

Quick Heating (Using recirculated air)
The lever/knob settings are the same as for
normal heating except you move the air
intake lever to “RECIRCULATED AIR”. If
you use this heating method for an
extended period of time, the air in the
vehicle can become contaminated and the
windows can become misty. Therefore, use
this method only for quick heating and
change to the normal heating method as
soon as possible.
Cool Face/Warm Feet
Move the function lever/knob to “BI-LEVEL”
and the air intake lever to “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature control lever/knob to the
desired temperature position, and the fan
switch to the desired fan speed position.
Unless the temperature control lever is in
the fully “COOL” position or fully “HOT”
position, the air that comes out of the center
and side outlets will be cooler than the air
that comes out of the floor outlets.

Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times.The driver and passengers should
be properly restrained at all times,
using the seatbelts provided. Refer
to the “SEATBELTS” section for
instructions on proper use of the
seat belts.
Never drive while under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs.
Alcohol and drugs can seriously
impair your ability to drive safely,
greatly increasing the risk of injury
to yourself and others. You should
also avoid driving when you are
tired, sick, irritated, or under stress.
HIGH-SPEED DRIVING
When driving down a hill, the engine should be used for braking by shifting to
next lower gear.
Try not to hold the brake pedal down
too long or too often while going
down a steep or long hill. This could
cause the brakes to overheat,
resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
Failure to take this precaution could
result in loss of vehicle control.
When descending a down hill, NEVER
turn the ignition key to the “OFF”
position. Emission control system
damage may result.DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADSUnder wet road conditions you should drive
at a lower speed than on dry roads due to
possible slippage of tyres during braking.
When driving on icy, snowcovered, or
muddy roads, reduce your speed and avoid
sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or
sharp steering movements.
When driving at a high-speed, pay attention
to the following:
Stopping distance progressively increases
with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far
enough ahead of the stopping point to
allow for the extra stopping distance.
On rainy days, “Aquaplaning” can occur. “Aquaplaning” is the loss of direct
contact between the road surface and
the vehicle’s tyres due to a water film
forming between them. Steering or
braking the vehicle while “Aquaplaning”
can be very difficult, and loss of control
can occur. Keep speed down when the
road surface is wet.
At high speeds, the vehicle may be affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce
speed and be prepared for unexpected
buffeting, which can occur at the exits
of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a
hill, or when being overtaken by large
vehicles, etc.
DRIVING ON HILLS When climbing steep hills, the vehiclemay begin to slow down and show a
lack of power. If this happens, you
should change to a lower gear so that
the engine will again be operating in its
normal power range. Change rapidly to
prevent the vehicle from losing
momentum.
