Windshield Washer
I
To wash your
windshield push and
hold the paddle
labeled
PUSH. Once
you feel you have
enough washer fluid
on the windshield
release the paddle.
The wipers will
continue to clear the
windshield, then either
stop or return to your
preset speed.
When the washer fluid reaches a low level,
“LOW WASHER FLUID”
will be displayed in the Driver Information Center.
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.

HIGmAY HITNOSIS
Is thh Actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just
plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lack
of
awareness, or whatever.
There is something about an easy stretch
of road with the same scenery,
along with the hum
of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and
the rush
of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t
let it happen to you!
If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less than
a second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis? First, be aware that it can
happen.
Then here are some tips:
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool
interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check
your rearview mirrors and your instruments frequently.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest, service, or parking area
and take a nap, get some exercise, or both. For safety, treat drowsiness
on the highway as an emergency.
