Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
At the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever there is a
paddle with the word PUSH on it. To spray washer
uid on the windshield, press and release this paddle.
The wipers will clear the windshield and either stop
or return to your preset speed. For more washer cycles,
press and hold the paddle.
CHECK WASHER FLUID will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the washer uid
reaches a low level.
Cruise Control
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h). When cruise control is on, you will see
a CRUISE light on the instrument panel cluster.When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can not drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not 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. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. SeeTraction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may turn
the cruise control back on.

Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, use them for better vision
in foggy or misty conditions.
The fog lamp button is
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.

in the button and the fog lamp light on the instrument
panel cluster will come on to indicate that the fog lamps
and the parking lamps are on.
Press the button again to turn them off.
If you turn on the high-beam headlamps, the fog lamps
will turn off. They will turn back on again when you
switch to low-beam headlamps.When the Twilight Sentinel
®is on and the fog lamps are
turned on, the fog lamps, headlamps and parking
lamps will remain on.
The ignition must be on for the fog lamps to operate.
Cornering Lamps
The cornering lamps come on when the headlamps or
parking lamps are on and you signal a turn with the
multifunction lever. They provide more light for cornering.
Twilight Sentinel®
This lever is located next
to the exterior lamp
control. It automatically
turns the lamps on and off
by sensing how dark it
is outside.
To operate the Twilight Sentinel
®, leave the exterior
lamp control in the off position and move the TWILIGHT
lever to any position but OFF.

Remember that the Night Vision System can only help
you see objects that are warmer or colder than the
surroundings. It can not sense things like brake lights,
turn signals or emergency ashers, traffic lights or signs.
In dry, clear weather, the system can see pedestrians,
animals and the direction of the road ahead. In light
rain, light snow or light fog the image may not be
as clear and you may not be able to see the direction of
the road ahead. In more severe weather conditions,
the image may be unclear and not usable.
{CAUTION:
Do not use the Night Vision System to replace
your normal view of the road ahead. It can not
tell you how far away things are. It senses only
warmer or colder objects, not all objects.
Driving by staring at the image might cause
you not to see important objects in the road
ahead. If you do not see something in time,
you could have a crash in which you and
others could be injured. Use the Night Vision
System only as a driving aid.It is also important to keep your windshield, the HUD
(Head-Up Display for the Night Vision System) lens and
the camera lens clean. If you do not keep everything
clean, system performance may be affected.
The HUD system is located on the driver’s side of the
instrument panel, next to the windshield and the camera
is located behind the center of the front grille.
Use only household glass cleaner and a soft cloth to
clean the HUD or camera lens. Wipe gently and
dry thoroughly.
Notice:When cleaning, be careful not to scratch
the HUD or camera lenses. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the HUD lens because the
cleaner could leak inside the unit and cause
damage.
The camera must also be aligned to work correctly. If
the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer. Do
not attempt to adjust the camera yourself.
