NOTE: If your speed increases above your set
speed while driving in (Overdrive) on a
downhill grade, you may want to shift to D
(Drive) to reduce vehicle speed. The speed
control cannot reduce the vehicle speed if it goes
above your set speed on a downhill grade. For
the best fuel economy during normal driving
conditions, leave the shift select in
(Overdrive), or resume as soon as practical.
/!\ WARNING
Do not use the speed control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding,
slippery, or unpaved.
