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 approximately two more wipe cycles 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

Cruise Control (Option)
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 kmk) 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 krnk).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control
shuts off.
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.
A CAUTION:

Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can’t drive safely at a steady speed. So,

~ A CAUTION:

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.
1. Move the cruise control switch to ON.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press in the SET button
at the end
of the lever
and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
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 kmh) or more,
you
can move the cruise control switch from ON to
R/A (Resume/Accelerate) for about half a 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
R/A.

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 United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
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 yo~~r 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.
