Windshield  Washer 
I 
K2246 
At the  top of the  multifunction  lever  there’s  a  paddle  marked  with  the 
windshield  washer  symbol  and 
PUSH. To spray  washer  fluid  on  the 
windshield,  push  the  paddle. 
The  wipers  will  clear  the  window  and  then  either  stop 
or return  to your  preset 
speed. 
I CAUTION 
Driving  without  washer  fluid  can  be  dangerous. A bad  mud 
splash  can  block  your  vision.  You  could  hit  another  vehicle 
or go 
off the  road.  Check  your  washer  fluid  level  often. 
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.

close  behind  you,  you  can  allow  a  little  extra  time  and  flash\
  your  brake  lights (in  addition  to your  turn  signal)  as  extra  warning  that  you  are  about  to slow 
down  and  exit. 
The  exit  ramp  can  be  curvea,  somerlmes  quite  sharply.  The  exit\
  speed  is 
usually  posted.  Reduce  your  speed  according  to  your  speedometer,\
  not  to 
your  sense  of  motion.  After  driving  for  any  distance  at  higher\
  speeds,  you 
may  tend  to  think  you  are  going  slower  than  you  actually  are.\
  For  example, 
40 rnph (65 km/h)  might  seem  like  only 20 mph (30 km/h).  Obviously,  this 
could  lead  to serious  trouble 
on a ramp  designed  for 20 mph (30 kmlh)! 
Driving  a  Long  Distance 
Although  most  long  trips  today  are  made  on  freeways,  there  are\
  still  many 
made  on  regular  highways. 
Long-distance  driving  on  freeways  and  regular  highways  is  the  s\
ame  in  some 
ways.  The  trip  has  to  be  planned  and  the  vehicle  prepared,  you  drive  at\
 
higher-than-city  speeds,  and  there  are  longer  turns  behind  the  \
wheel.  You’ll 
enjoy  your  trip  more 
if you  and  your  vehicle  are  in  good  shape.  Here  are 
some  tips  for  a  successful  long  trip. 
Before  Leaving  on a Long  Trip 
Make  sure  you’re  ready. Try to be  well  rested. If you  must  start  when  you’re 
not  fresh-such  as  after  a day’s  work-don’t  plan  to  make  too  many  miles 
that  first  part  of  the  journey.  Wear  comfortable  clothing  and  \
shoes  you  can  easily  drive  in. 
Is your  vehicle  ready  for  a  long  trip? If you  keep  it  serviced  and  maintained, 
it’s  ready  to  go. 
If it  needs  service,  have it done  before  starting  out.  Of 
course,  you’ll  find  experienced  and  able  service  experts  in  \
your  vehicle’s 
dealerships  all across  North  America.  They’ll  be  ready  and  willing  to  help  \
if 
you  need  it. 
Here  are  some  things  you  can  check  before  a  trip: 
Windshield  Washer  Fluid: Is the  reservoir  full?  Are  all  windows  clean 
Wiper  Blades: Are  they  in good  shape? 
Fuel,  Engine  Oil,  Other  Fluids: Have  you  checked  all  levels? 
Lights: Are  they  all  working?  Are  the  lenses  clean? 
Tires: They  are  vitally  important  to  a  safe,  trouble-free  trip. Is the  tread 
good  enough  for  long  distance  driving?  Are  the  tires  all  inflated  to  the 
recommended  pressure?  inside  and  outside?

Service & Appearance Care 
Windshield  Wiper  Blade  Inserts 
I - 
r 
PO232 
To replace  the  windshield  wiper  blade  insert, lift the  wiper  arm  and  rotate  the 
blade  until  it  is  facing  away  from  the  windshield.  Unlatch  the\
  end  of  the  insert 
from  the  holding  clips.  Remove  the  insert  and  slide  a  new  one\
  in place. 
Make  sure  the  blade  is  secured  in  the  clips. 
Air  Conditioning 
Every  now  and  then  have  your  dealership  check  your  air  conditi\
oning  system 
to  be  sure  it  has  not  lost  any  cooling  ability. 
If you  think  the  system  is not 
working  properly,  have  your  dealership  check  it  out  as  soon  as\
  possible. 
The  air  conditioning  will  not  work  when  the  temperature  is  bel\
ow  40°F 
(4°C). 
Fluid  Leak  Check 
After  the  vehicle  has  been  parked  for  a  while,  inspect  the  su\
rface  under  the 
vehicle 
for water,  oil,  fuel or other  fluids.  Water  dripping  from  the  air 
conditioning  system  after  it has  been  used  is  normal,  If  you  notice fuel  leaks 
or fumes,  the  causes  should  be  found  and  corrected  at  once. 
Lubrication 
Accelerator  Control  System 
Your  maintenance  schedule  will  tell you  how  often  the  accelerator  linkage 
pivot  points  must  be  lubricated.  See  “Recommended  Fluids  and \
 Lubricants”  in 
the  Index  for  the  proper  lubricant  to  use.
