STARTING AND OPERATING
150
NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the
Speed Control System has been designed
to shut down if multiple Speed Control
functions are operated at the same time. If
this occurs, the Speed Control System can
be reactivated by pushing the Speed
Control on/off button and resetting the
desired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Push the On/Off button to activate the Speed
Control. The cruise indicator light in the
instrument cluster display will illuminate. To
turn the system off, push the On/Off button
a second time. The cruise indicator light will
turn off. The system should be turned off
when not in use.
To Set A Desired Speed
Turn the Speed Control on.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a steady
speed and
on level ground before pushing
the SET (+) or SET (-) button.
When the vehicle has reached the desired
speed, pu
sh the SET (+) or SET (-) button
and release. Release the accelerator and the
vehicle will operate at the selected speed.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES button and release. Resume can be
used at any speed above 20
mph (32 km/h).
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the
CANC (cancel) button, or normal brake pres-
sure while slowing the vehicle will deactivate
t
he speed
control without erasing the set
speed from memory.
Pushing the on/off button or cycling the igni-
tion to OFF, erases the set speed from
memory.
Using Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Speed Control system maintains speed
u
p and do
wn hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain
may occur
so it may be preferable to drive
without Speed Control.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed.
Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
WARNING!
Leaving the Speed Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to
go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always leave
the system off when you are not using it.
