veniences and styling dominated the

matic climate control,

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CRUISE CONTROL
With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40
km/h) or more without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This can
really help
on long trips. Cruise Control does not work at speeds below
about
25 rnph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the Cruise Control shuts
off.
A CAUTION:
Cruise Control can be dangerous where you can’t drive safely
at a steady speed.
So, don’t use your Cruise Control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
0 Cruise Control can be dangerous on slippery roads. On such
roads, fast changes in tire traction can cause needless wheel
spinning, and you could lose control. Don’t use Cruise
Control on slippery roads.

To Resume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your Cruise Control at a desired speed and then you
apply the brake. This, of course, shuts
off the Cruise Control. But you
don’t need to reset it. Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 kmih) or
more, you can move the Cruise Control switch from
“ON” to “./A”
(ResumeiAccelerate) for about half a second.

To Increase Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed. Here’s the first:
1. Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed.
2. Push the button at the end of the lever, then release the button and
the accelerator pedal. You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
Here’s the second way to
go to a higher speed:
Move the Cruise switch from “ON” to “R/A.” Hold it there until you
get up to the speed you want, and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, move the switch to ---
“R/A” for less than half a second and then release it. Each time you do
this, your vehicle will go about
1 rnph (1.6 km/h) faster.
To Reduce Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to reduce your speed while using cruise control:
Push in the button at the end of the lever until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the button for less than half c-T
a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go 1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower. Lul
Passing Another Ehicle While Using Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed. When you take your
foot off the pedal, your vehicle will slow down to the Cruise Control
speed you set earlier.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your
speed, load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you
may have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When
going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep
your speed down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out of Cruise
Control. Many drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use
Cruise Control on steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
