You can sound the horn by pressing the
horn pad on your steering wheel.
Tilt Steering Wheel (OPTION)

adjust the steering wheel before
you
drive. You can also raise it to the
highest level to give your legs more
room when
you exit and enter the
vehicle.
To tilt the wheel, hold the steering
wheel and pull the lever. Move the
steering wheel to a comfortable level,
then release the lever to lock the wheel
in place.

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
%
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.
&&? co&ol (OPTION)
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, or the
clutch pedal, the cruise control shuts
off.
To Set Cruise Control
1. Move the cruise control switch to ON.
2. Get up to the speed you want.

To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a
desired speed and then you apply the
brake or clutch pedal. This, of course,
shuts
off the cruise control. But you
don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going
about
25 mph (40 kwh) or more, you
can move the cruise control switch from
ON to R/A (which stands for Resume/
Accelerate) for about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen
speed and stay there.
If you hold the switch
at R/A longer
than half a second, the vehicle
will keep
going faster until you release the switch
or apply the brake or clutch pedal. You
could be startled and even lose control.
So unless you want to go faster, don’t
hold the switch at
R/A.
To Increase speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher
speed. Here’s the first:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to
the higher speed.
2. Push the button at the end of the
lever, then release the button and the
accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise
at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way
to go to a higher
speed:
Move the cruise switch from ON to
R/A. Hold it there until you get up to
the speed you want, and then release
the switch.
To increase your speed in very small
amounts, move the switch to
R/A for
less than half a second and then
release it. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h)
faster.

To Reduce Speed While Using
Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your
speed while using cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the
lever until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release
it.
To slow down in very small amounts,
push the button for less than half a
second. Each time you do this, you’ll
go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase
your speed. When you take your foot
off
the pedal, your vehicle will slow down
to the cruise control speed you set
earlier.
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 or
clutch pedal 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
There are several ways to turn off the
cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal, or
push the clutch pedal,
if you have a
manual transaxle; OR
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
To Erase Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or
the ignition, your cruise control set
speed memory is erased.
