Heavy snow  or ice can overload your wipers.  The windshield wiper motor  is 
protected  from overload  by 
a circuit breaker and  a  fuse. If the motor 
overheats  due  to heavy snow,  etc., the wiper will  stop 
until the motor cools. 
Although the circuit  is protected from electrical  overload, overload due 
to 
heavy  snow,  etc. may  cause wiper linkage damage.  Always  clear ice and 
heavy  snow from the windshield  before using your windshield wipers. 
Windshield Washer 
At the top of the  lever 
there’s  a paddle with 
the  word 
PUSH on it. 
To spray washer fluid 
on the windshield, 
push  the paddle. 
Washer fluid  will spray 
as long  as you  push  the paddle. When  you  let go of 
the paddle,  the wipers  will continue  to  wipe for a few seconds  and then 
either  stop 
or return to the preset  speed. 
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. 
A CAUTION: 
In  freezing  weather,  don’t  use  your  washer  until  the  windshi\
eld 
is  warmed.  Otherwise  the  washer 
fluid can form ice on the 
windshield,  blocking  your  vision.

the brake.  This, of course,  shuts off the Cruise  Control. But you don't need 
to reset 
it. 
i 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  faster 
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 WA.

Speedometer and Odometer 
Your  speedometer  lets 
you  see  your  speed 
in 
both miles per hour 
(mph) 
and kilometers 
per hour  (km/h). 
Your 
odometer  shows how 
far your vehicle  has 
been 
driven, in either 
miles  (used 
in the 
U.S.) or kilometers 
(used 
in Canada). 
Tamper-Resistant  Odometer 
Your  odometer  is tamper-resistant.  The  odometer will show silver  lines 
between the numbers 
if someone  tries to turn it back. 
You may  wonder  what happens if your  vehicle needs a new odometer 
installed.  Laws  vary as to the  procedure  that  must be followed, 
so check 
with your  state  or provincial  vehicle registration  office. But generally, if the 
new  odometer  can be  set  to the  mileage 
total of the  old  odometer,  then it 
must be. But if it can't,  then it's set at zero,  and a label  must  be put on the 
driver's  door 
to show  the old  mileage reading  when  the  new odometer  was 
installed. 
Trip  Odometer 
The trip  odometer  can 
tell  you  how  far your 
vehicle  has  been 
driven  since you 
last 
set the trip odometer 
to zero. 
To reset the trip  odometer, fully press the reset button  located near  the trip 
odometer  readout. 
If the reset button is not fully pressed, the trip  odometer 
may  not 
go all the  way back to zero. If it doesn't,  you  may  have to press the 
reset button  again 
to reset the readout to zero.
