windshield before switching on either the
radio mode or the ignition.< Washer fluid Windshield and headlamp washers Capacity: approx. 8.2 quarts (7.8 liters)
Fill with water and Ð if required Ð with a
washer antifreeze (according to manufac-
turer's recommendations).
We recommend that you mix the
washer fluid before adding it to the
reservoir.<
Windshield washer antifreeze is flam-
mable. Always keep it well away from
sparks and open flames, and store it in
tightly closed containers well out of the
reach of children. Always observe the
instructions for use provided on the
container.< Programmable cruise
control The concept The programmable cruise control is avail-
able for use at speeds of approx. 18 mph
(30 km/h) and higher. The vehicle maintains
and stores the speed that you set using the
lever mounted on the steering column.
You can also use the multilevel preset
mode to store 6 speeds for later selection
with the lever on the steering column, refer
to page 75. This feature assists you in quickly adapting
vehicle speed to specific road conditions,
for instance, changes in speed limits.

on the accelerator pedal. The system main-
tains and stores your current speed as

The vehicle may accelerate beyond
the preset speed on steep downhill
stretches where the engine's braking effect
alone may not be sufficient to slow the
vehicle. Speed can drop on uphill grades if
the engine output is insufficient.< 2 Maintain and store speed,
deceleratePull the lever back, as far as but not beyond
the detent:
The system maintains and stores the
current vehicle speed. Each time you tap
the lever the vehicle will decelerate by
approx. 0.6 mph (1 km/h).

reduced, slowing the vehicle. The system
maintains and stores your current speed as
soon as you release the lever.
