NOTE: (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)
When driving up steep hills with the cruise control engaged, the transmi\
ssion may shift intermittently.
This can be avoided by switching between transmission modes E or S while\
on the hill.
Normally, the ( E )conomy mode should be used when the cruise control \
is engaged.

Acceleration

Momentary acceleration, such as for passing, does not interrupt cruise c\
ontrol operation. The previously
selected speed will be maintained without having to set the switch to RE\
SUME.

To disengage the cruise control system :

Set switch (B) to OFF, depress the brake pedal or move the gear select\
or to position N. Switching off the
starting (ignition) switch will automatically disengage the cruise con\
trol system.
On cars equipped with manual transmissions, the cruise control can also \
be disengaged by depressing
the clutch.
WARNING! The cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or when \
driving on wet or slippery
roads. Do not use or resume cruise control in reverse gear.

When the ignition is switched off, any information stored in the cruise \
control memory is erased.
