Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine OFF To turn the wipers off, turn the band to OFF.
Damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive
safely.
To avoid damage, be sure to clean ice and snow from the wiper
blades before
using them. If they're frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them.
If your blades do become damaged, get new blades
or blade inserts.

I A d
To wash your
windshield, press

PUSH. Once you feel
you have enough
washer fluid on the
windshield, release the

fluid can be dangerous. A bad mud splash can
block your vision and you could hit another vehicle or
go off the road.
Check your washer fluid level often.
A CAUTION:
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.

e When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for adding water.
e 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.
I e 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.

can damage your washer system and paint.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine LOW OIL LEVEL - 36
For correct operation of the low oil sensing system, the vehicle should be
on a level surface. A false LOW OIL LEVEL message may appear if the
vehicle is parked
on grades. The oil level sensing system does not check
for actual oil
level if the engine has been off for a short period of time,
and the
oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on level
ground with
the engine off for at least 30 minutes, your oil level should be
checked by observing the oil dipstick. Prior to checking your oil level be
sure your engine has
been off for five minutes and your vehicle is on a
level surface. Then check your dipstick and add oil if necessary. See
“Engine
Oil” in the Index.
CHECK WASHER FLUID - 25
This message will appear for a few seconds indicating that you need
washer solvent.
CHANGE OIL SOON - 40
This message will appear when you have used 90% of the engine oil’s
expected life, based on your driving patterns.
CHANGE ENGINE OIL - 82
This means that the life of your engine oil has expired and it should be
changed within 200 miles. See “Engine Oil” and “Filter
Recommendations”
in the Maintenance Schedule. After an oil change the
Oil Life Index must be resct. See “Oil Life Indicator” in the Index on how
to reset it.
CRUISE ENGAGED - 43
This message will appear for a few seconds when you select a speed at
which to cruise.
ENGINE COOLANT HOT - 44
This message will appear when your engine coolant temperature is over
248’ F (126’ C). To avoid added strain on a hot cngine turn off your
Climate Control system. Stop and allow your vehicle
to idle until it cools
down or the message is removed.
If it does not cool down, turn off your
engine and have it serviced before driving
it again. Severe engine damage
can result from an overheated engine. See “Engine Overheating” in the
Index.
