nore without keeping your foot on the
kccelerator. This can really help on long

pedal.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
To Res.ume a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a
desired spee-d with the
SET button and
then you apply the brake. This, of
zourse, shuts off the cruise control. But
you don’t need to reset it. Once you’re
going about
25 mph (40 lWh) or more,
you can move the cruise control switch
€rom
ON to R/A (which stands for.
Resume/Accelerate) for about half a
second.
You’ll go right back up to your chosen
speed and stay there.
If you shift into P (Park) after you set a
cruise control speed, you’ll erase the
system’s memory- Moving the switch to
R/A won’t restore the speed you set.
To Increase Speed Wh,ile Using
Cruise Confro;l
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
it higher
speed:
1. 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.
2. 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 mph
(1.6 lcm/h) faster.
The accelerate feature will only work
after you turn on the cruise control by
pushing the
SET button.
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 a
second. Each time you do this, you’ll
go
1 mph (1.6 ltm/h) slower.
Passing Anafher 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 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
There are two ways to turn off the
cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal; OR
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
To Erase Cruise Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or
the ignition, or shift into
P (Park), your
cruise control set speed memory is
erased.
Pulse Windshield. Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by
turning the band marked
WIPER.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band
to
MIST. Hold it there until the wipers
start, then let go. The wipers will stop
after one cycle. If you want more cycles,
hold the band on
MIST longer.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the
band away from you to the
LO position.
For high-speed wiping, turn the band
further, to
HI. To stop the wipers, move
the band to
OFF.
Remember that damaged wiper blades
may prevent you from seeing well
enough to drive safely. To avoid
damage, be sure to clear ice and snow
from the wiper blades before using them.
If they’re
frozen to.the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw
them.
If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade
inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your
wipers.
A circuit breaker will stop them
until the motor cools. Clear away snow
or ice to prevent an overload.
You can set the wiper speed for a long
or short delay between wipes. This can
be very useful
in light rain or snow.
Turn the band to choose the delay time.
The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
