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 (40 km/h).If you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off.
CAUTION:

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 traffic.

Cruise control can be dangerous on
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.

Move the control in the center of each outlet side-to-side
to direct the air from the outlet. Use the thumbwheel
under the outlet to close the louvers. For the most
efficient airflow and temperature control, keep the
louvers in the fully opened position.
The rear seat outlets can be used to adjust the airflow
toward either seating area, the floor or upward. Move
the control in the center of each outlet side
-to-side to
direct airflow.Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.

In cool damp weather, minimize your use of
recirculation to reduce the chance of fogging
your windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
