The headlamps must be on to be washed. If the
headlamps are off, only the windshield will be washed
when the washer button is pressed. If the washer fluid is
low, the headlamp washers will not work.

See Windshield Washer on page 3-15 for additional
information.

Cruise Control

These controls are located
on the end of the
multifunction lever.

9

(Off): This position turns the system off.

R

(On): This position activates the system.

+ (Resume/Accelerate): Push the lever to this symbol
to make the vehicle resume to a previously set speed
or to accelerate when cruise is already active.

T

(Set/Decrease): Press this button to set the speed

or to decrease the speed when cruise is already active.

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).

If you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off.

CAUTION:

Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not 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. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. See Traction
Control System (TCS)
on page 4-9 and StabiliTrak

System on page 4-11. When road conditions allow you
to safely use it again, you may turn the cruise control
back on.
