Windshield Washer When the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off. { WARNING: In freezing weather, do not use the washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. Press and release this paddle, located at the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever, to spray washer fluid on the windshield. The wipers will clear the windshield and either stop or return to the preset speed. For more washer cycles, press and hold the paddle. { WARNING: Cruise control can be dangerous where you cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do not use the 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 excessive wheel slip, 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 (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control automatically turns off. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 5 ‑ 6 . When road conditions let you safely use it again, the cruise control can be turned back on. J (Washer Fluid): Cruise Control With cruise control, a speed of approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 40 km/h (25 mph). A cruise control light appears in the instrument panel cluster when the cruise control is on. 4-11
