Rear Window Washer/Wiper

If your vehicle has this feature, the control is located on the instrument panel to the right of

the steering wheel.

To turn the rear wiper on, slide the control to either LO or HI. For delayed wiping, slide the control to LO.

For steady wiping, slide the control to HI. To turn the wiper off, slide the control to OFF.

To wash the window, press the wash button located on the control. The control must be in either LO or HI.

The rear window washer uses the same fluid bottle as the windshield washer. However, the rear window washer will run out of fluid before the windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield but not your rear window, check your fluid level.

Cruise Control

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 have an automatic transmission and you apply your brakes, the cruise control will shut off.

If you have a manual transmission and you apply your brakes or push the clutch pedal, the cruise control will shut off.

{CAUTION:

Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot 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.
