86 [SC04550(ALL)05/95]If the washer does not work, check the washer
fluid level visually and fill if needed. See
Servicing Your Probelater in this owner guide. If
there is fluid in the reservoir, and your washer

[SC04700(ALL)01/95]
Do not try to clean the windshield when the
washer fluid container is empty or activate the
washers at any time for more than 15 seconds
continuously. This could damage the washer
pump system.

RWARNING
In freezing weather, the washer solution
may freeze on the windshield and obscure
your vision. Always warm up the
windshield with the defroster before you
use the washer fluid. If you cannot see
through the windshield clearly, it can
increase the risk of being involved in a
collision.

Accelerating With the Speed Control
Operating
*
[SC06650(ALL)03/95]
If you want to speed up momentarily or regain
preset speed on hills when the speed control is
operating, simply accelerate using the accelerator
pedal. Manually accelerating to a higher speed
does not interfere with the speed control; when
you take your foot off the accelerator, the
vehicle returns to the set speed.
[SC06660(ALL)03/94]
You can also speed up by pressing the SET ACC
button. Release the button when the vehicle has
accelerated to the desired speed.
*
[SC06750(ALL)03/95]
NOTE: If your vehicle has a 5-speed manual
transaxle, you may want to drive in 4
(Fourth) gear in mountainous areas or
at high altitudes to improve speed
control performance.
[SC06800(ALL)05/95]
NOTE: When driving uphill, especially with a
heavy load, significant speed drops
may occur. If the speed drops more
than 8 to 14 mph (15-25 km/h) the
automatic speed control will, by
design, be cancelled. You may need to
control your speed manually while
driving up steep grades in order to
maintain the selected speed.
