Clean windshield and headlamps*

Do not use the washers if there is
any danger that the fluid will

freeze on the windshield, as your vision
could be obscured. Always use a wind-
shield washer antifreeze in cold
weather. Refer to page

Do not use the washers when the reser-
voir is empty. This could cause damage
to the washer pump.

The system sprays washer fluid against
the windshield and activates the wipers
for a brief period.

When the vehicle's lighting system is
switched on, the headlamps will also be
cleaned at reasonable intervals.

Windshield washer nozzles

The windshield washer jets are warmed
automatically when the ignition key is in
position 2.

Cruise control

Starting at about 20 mph / 30 km/h, you

ever the engine is running and the sys-
tem has been activated.

ing roads, when high traffic den-

sity prevents driving at a constant
speed, or when the road surface is slick

gravel, sand.

until the indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster goes out.
