Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the
band
on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for
a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain
or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to LO, the shorter the delay,
I
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the
LO position. For high-speed wiping,
turn the band further, to HI.
To stop the wipers, move
the band to the
OFF position.
Be sure to clear 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
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
There is a paddle marked with the windshield washer
symbol at the top of the multifunction lever.
To spray
washer fluid on the windshield, push the paddle. The
wipers will clear the window and then either stop or
return to your preset speed.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Resuming a Set Speed Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
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 for about a 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.
So unless you
want to
go faster, don’t hold the switch at WA.
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
0 Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
Press the button at the end
of the lever, then release
the button and the accelerator pedal. You’ll now
cruise at the higher speed.
0 Move the cruise switch from ON to WA. Hold it
there until you get up to the speed you want, and
then release the switch. (To increase your speed in
very small amounts, move the switch to
WA. Each
time you do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) faster.)
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
Press in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, press the
button for less than half a second. Each time you do
this, you’ll go
1 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 Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(kmh).
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. If the new one 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.
Wip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
To view the trip odometer, press the button near the
readout. To reset the trip odometer, hold the button
until
it resets.
Tachometer (If Equipped)
The tachometer displays the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm). Each tachometer
has a different limit depending on the
powertrain in your vehicle. The tachometer has three
areas: normal operating range, red warning range and
red danger range.
The normal operating range shows your engine speed
during normal driving conditions. For example, when
the needle points to 2, it means the engine
is running at
2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer
needle
will vary all the time that the engine is running.
The shaded red warning range tells you that your engine
speed is reaching its upper limits. Don’t drive very long
with the tachometer in the red warning range.
If you
have a manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as
soon as possible. If
you have an automatic transmission,
lift your foot
off the accelerator pedal.
The solid red danger range tells you that your engine
speed is at its upper limits. You should immediately
shift to a higher gear, or
lift your foot off the
accelerator pedal.
I NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red range, or engine damage will occur.
