NOTICE:
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 kmh).

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your
speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you
may have to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When
going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep
your speed down.
Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise
Control. Many drivers find this
to be too much trouble and don’t use
Cruise Control on steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control

ENGAGED
Cruise Engaged Light
This light will come on
when your cruise
control is set to a
selected speed.
Low Coolant Warning Light
If the coolant level in
the radiator is low by
3 quarts (2.8 L) or
more this light will
come on. The light will
stay on until you add
coolant. Continuing to
drive your vehicle with
the “Low Coolant”
warning light on, may
result in damage to
your engine.
See “Engine Coolant” in the Index and have your vehicle serviced as soon
as you can.
This light will come on when the ignition is on, but the engine is not
running, as a check. It doesn’t have to be fixed right away.

Traction Control System
This feature is deleted on Coach Builder limousines and funeral coach
packages.
Your vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is
especially useful in slippery road conditions.
The system operates only if
it senses that the rear wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction.
When this happens, the system works the rear brakes and reduces engine
power (by closing the throttle) to limit wheel spin.
The ‘TRACTION ENGAGED’’ light will come on when the traction
control system is limiting wheel spin. See “Traction Control System Active
Light” in the Index. You may feel the system working, or you may notice
some noise, but this is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins
to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. When
road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage the
cruise control,. (See “Cruise Control” in the Index.)
