The headlamps must be on to be washed. If the
headlamps are off, only the windshield will be washed
when the washer button is pressed. If the washer fluid
is low, the headlamp washers will not work.
See Windshield Washer on page 3-16 for additional
information.
Cruise Control
These controls are
located on the end
of the multifunction
lever.
9(Off): Move to this position to turn the system off.
R(On): Move to this position to turn on the system.
+ (Resume/Accelerate): Move to this position to make
the vehicle resume a previously set speed or to
accelerate when cruise is already active.
T(Set/Decrease): Press this button to set the speed
or to decrease the speed when cruise is already active.
With cruise control, a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more can be maintained 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 shuts 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 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 or
the stability control system activates, the cruise control
automatically disengages. See Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 4-6 and StabiliTrak
®
System
on page 4-8 or Enhanced StabiliTrak
®
on page 4-9.
When road conditions allow you to safely use it again,
you may turn the cruise control back on.
