Windshield Washer The lever on the right side of the steering column also controls the windshield washer. There is a button at the end of the lever. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, press the button and hold it. The washer will spray until you release the button. The wipers will continue to clear the window for about six seconds after the button is released and then stop or return to your preset speed. Cruise Control With cruise control, a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more can be maintained without keeping your foot on the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h). Cruise control will not work if the parking brake is set, or if the master cylinder brake fluid level is low. { CAUTION: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. If the fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir is low, the message CHECK WASHER FLUID will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. It will take 15 seconds after the bottle is refilled for this message to turn off. For information on the correct washer fluid to use, see Windshield Washer Fluid on page 5-42 and Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-12. { CAUTION: 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 the vehicle is in cruise control, and has the Traction Control System (TCS), and it begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control automatically disengages. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6. When road conditions allow the cruise control to be safely used again, it can be turned back on. 3-10
