I
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 mph (40
km/h).
When you apply your brakes, the cruise control shuts off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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) 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).
To lncrease Speed While Using Cruise Control
While your cruise control switch is in the ON position, here are two ways to
go
to a higher speed.
0 Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher speed. 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.

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
(Resume/Accelerate). Each time you
do this, your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
To Reduce 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 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.

If your vehicle was
first sold, when new,
in Canada,
you will
have this light on the
instrument panel.
It goes on whenever the Daytime Running Lamps are on.
When it begins to get dark, the DRL indicator light is a reminder to turn on
your headlamps.
Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) make it easier to see the front of your
vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful
in many different driving
conditions, but
they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn
and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your high-beam headlamps come
on at a
reduced brightness when:
The ignition is on,
The headlamp switch is off, and
The parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your high-beam headlamps will be
on. The
taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps
won’t be on. Your instrument panel
won’t be
lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, your DRL indicator light is
a reminder to turn
your headlamp switch on. The other lamps that come on with your
headlamps will also come
on.
When you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular lamps will go off, and
your high-beam headlamps
will change to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking brake. The DRL will
stay
off until you release the parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system when
you need it.
