steering wheel to a comfortable level, then release the lever to lock the
wheel in place.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 (Option)
’ If you have Cruise
Control, the end
of
your multifunction lever will look like
this.
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).

A CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you can’t drive safely
at a steady speed. So, don’t use your cruise control on winding
roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such
roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don’t use cruise control
on slippery roads.
To Set Cruise Control
I Move the Cruise
Control switch
to
ON.
If you leave your cruise control switch on when you’re not using
cruise, you might hit
a button and go into cruise when you don’t
want to. You could be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch
OFF until you want to use it.
Get up to the speed you want.
Push in the set button at the end of the lever and release it.

Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you apply
the brake.
This, of course, shuts off the Cruise Control. But you don’t need
to reset it.
Once you’re going
about
25 mph (40
km/h) or more, you
can move the Cruise
Control switch from
ON to R/A
(Resume/Accelerate)
for about half
a
1 second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Remember,
if you hold the switch at R/A longer than half a second, the
vehicle will keep going
fater until you release the switch or apply the
brake. 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.
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed, 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.

To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to “R/A” for
less than half a second. Each time
you do this, your vehicle will go about I
mph (1.6 kdh) 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.
0 To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half
a second. Each time you do this, you’ll
go I 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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. If the steepness
of the hill causes the vehicle speed to drop more than 15 mph (9.4 km/h)
below the set speed, your Cruise Control will automatically disengage.
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
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
0 Step lightly on
the brake pedal;
OR
