The rear wiper and rear wash buttons are located on
the instrument panel above the audio system.

(Rear Wiper): Press to turn the rear wiper on and
off. When the wiper is on it runs intermittently at a
preset speed.

window. The window wiper will also come on. Release
the button when enough fluid has been sprayed on
the window. The rear wiper will run a few more cycles
after it is released. If the rear wiper function was already

the wiper button is pressed again.
The rear window washer uses the same fluid that is
in the windshield washer reservoir. See Windshield

Cruise Control

Cruise control lets a speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more be maintained without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. Cruise control does not work at speeds
below 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction Control
System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control automatically disengages. See Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 4-7. When road conditions allow,
the cruise control can be used again.
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.
