you need to check your fluid level and fill the
fluid tank.
Cruise Control (Option)
With Cruise Control, you can maintain a speed of about 25 mph (40 kdh)
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 mph
(40 kmh).
When
you apply your brakes, the Cruise Control shuts off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 kdh) or more, you can
move the Cruise Control switch from
ON to R/A (Resume/Accelerate) and
hold it for about half a second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen speed and stay there.
Remember, if you hold the switch at
R/A (Resume/Accelerate) longer than
half a second, the vehicle will keep going faster until you release the switch
or apply the brake. You could be startled and even lose control.
So unless
you want to go faster, don’t hold the switch at
R/A (Resume/Accelerate).

go to a higher speed. Here’s the first:

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:

there until
you get up to the speed you want, and then release the
switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts, quickly (less than half a
second) move the switch
to WA (Resume/Accelerate). Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go about 1 mph (1.6 kdh) faste,r.

To Reduce Speed While Usina Cruise Control
1 0 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
a second. Each time you do this, you’ll go
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle 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
want 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.
