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 (40km/h).
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.

/:1 CAUTION:
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.
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. When you apply your
brakes, the cruise control
shuts
off.
A CAUTILN:
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 traf‘fic.
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.

I
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.
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 km/h) or more,
you can move the cruise control switch from
ON to R/A
(Resume/Accelerate) for about half
a second.
Press in the
SET button
at the end of
the lever
and release it.
Take your
foot off the
accelerator pedal. 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 R/A.
Increasing 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.
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 R/A for less
than half
a second. Each time you do this, your
vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.

n 8 1,
i .:.
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (kdh). 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 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.
The trip odometer can show either total miles or trip
miles by using the push control in
the cluster.
