When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
Don’t mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can
cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid
tank and other parts of the washer system.
Also, water
doesn’t clean as well as washer fluid.
Fill your washer fluid tank only
3/4 full when it’s very cold.
This allows for expansion, which could damage the tank
if it
is completely full.
Don’t use radiator antifreeze in your windshield washer.
It
can damage your washer system and paint.
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
about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the Cruise Control shuts off.
