Windshield Washer

{

WARNING:

In freezing weather, do not use the washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your
vision.

J

(Washer Fluid): Press and release this paddle,

located at the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever,
to spray washer fluid on the windshield. The wipers will
clear the windshield and either stop or return to the
preset speed. For more washer cycles, press and hold
the paddle.

Cruise Control

With cruise control, a speed of approximately 40 km/h
(25 mph) or more can be maintained without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). A cruise
control light appears in the instrument panel cluster
when the cruise control is on.

When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.

{

WARNING:

Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use the 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 excessive wheel slip, and you could
lose control. Do not use cruise control on slippery
roads.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control automatically turns off. See Traction
Control System (TCS) on page 5‑6
.
When road
conditions let you safely use it again, the cruise control
can be turned back on.
