Washer/Wiper system Cruise control
Cleaning headlamps
When the headlamps are on, they are
also cleaned automatically every fifth
time you activate "Cleaning windshield"
5 or "Intensive cleaning" 6.
Do not use the washers if there is
any danger that the fluid will
freeze on the windshield, as your vision
could be obscured. You can reduce this
danger by adding a windshield washer
antifreeze. Refer to page
115 . Do not
activate the washer if the reservoir is
empty, as the washer pump could be
damaged.
<
Windshield washer jets
The windshield washer jets are warmed
automatically when the ignition key is in
position 2.
You can store and automatically main-
tain any desired vehicle speed above
approx. 20 mph (30 km/h).
The cruise control is available whenever
the engine is running and the system
has been activated.
To activate the system
From ignition key position 2:
Press the button and the indicator lamp
on the instrument cluster (refer to
page
18 ) will come on. You can now
use the cruise control.
Do not use cruise control on
twisting roads, when high traffic
density prevents driving at a constant
speed, or when the road surface is slick
(snow, rain, ice) or loose (rocks or
gravel, sand).
<
To deactivate the system
Press button as often as needed until
the indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster goes out.
Cruise control is also deactivated when
the ignition key is in position 0.
The speed stored in memory is deleted.
