Windshield Washer
PUSH: Press the paddle with the the word PUSH
and the washer symbol on it, located on top of the
multifunction lever, to spray washer fluid on the
windshield. The wipers will clear the windshield and
then either stop or return to the set speed.
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
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
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply the brakes, the cruise control shuts off.
CAUTION:
D Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can’t drive safely at a steady speed. So,
don’t use your cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
D 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. Don’t
use cruise control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system on the 3800 Supercharged V6 engine or
the enhanced traction system on the 3100 V6 and
3800 V6 engine begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. See “Traction
Control System” or “Enhanced Traction System” in the
Index. When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may turn the cruise control back on.
