STARTING AND OPERATING 61
Cruise Control Lever
TO ACTIVATE
Rotate the center ring upward on the Cruise
Control lever to turn the system on. The Cruise
Indicator Light in the instrument cluster display will
illuminate. To turn the system off, rotate the center
ring upward 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 Cruise Control on. When the vehicle has
reached the desired speed, move the Cruise
Control lever upward SET (+) and release. Release
the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the
selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a steady speed
and on level ground before moving the Cruise
Control lever upward SET (+).
TO VARY THE SPEED SETTING
To Increase or Decrease The Set Speed
When the Cruise Control is set, you can increase
speed by tapping the Cruise Control lever up SET
(+) or decrease the speed by tapping the Cruise
Control lever down (-).
U.S. Speed (mph)
Tapping the Cruise Control lever up SET (+), or
tapping the Cruise Control lever down (-) once
will result in a 1 mph speed adjustment. Each
subsequent tap of the lever results in an adjust-
ment of 1 mph.
If the lever is continually held up or down, the
set speed will continue to adjust until the lever
is released, then the new set speed will be
established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
Tapping the Cruise Control lever up SET (+), or
tapping the Cruise Control lever down (-) once
will result in a 1 km/h speed adjustment. Each
subsequent tap of the lever results in an adjust-
ment of 1 km/h.
If the lever is continually held up or down, the
set speed will continue to adjust until the lever
is released, then the new set speed will be
established.
TO ACCELERATE FOR PASSING
While the Cruise Control system is set, press the
accelerator to pass as you would normally. When
the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the
set speed.
Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to
maintain the vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up and
down 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 Cruise Control.
WARNING!
Leaving the Cruise 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 ensure the system is off when
you are not using it.
