CHEVROLET 2010 Impala - Manual (Page 156)

Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever, there is a paddle
with
L on it. Push the paddle to spray washer fluid on
the windshield. The wipers run for several sweeps and
then either stop or return to the preset speed. The ignition
key must be in ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN for this to
work. See Windshield Washer Fluid on page 6-33.
{ WARNING:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your
vision.
When the vehicle is low on washer fluid, the WASHER
FLUID LOW ADD FLUID displays in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) for 60 seconds. When the
ignition is turned off, this message displays again for
three seconds to remind you that the fluid level is low.
Until the fluid reservoir is refilled, every time the vehicle
is started, the WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID
message displays in the Driver Information Center (DIC)
for 60 seconds. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 4-44.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work
at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph).
{ 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 has the Traction Control System (TCS)
and the cruise control is on, TCS will begin to limit
wheel spin and the cruise control automatically turns off.
See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 5-7. When
road conditions allow you to safely use it again, the cruise
control can be turned back on.
