2-34 Cruise Control (If Equipped)
JE±12±0032±X
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, or push the clutch pedal if
you have a manual transmission, the cruise control
turns off.
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.

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.
Setting Cruise Control
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control switch on when
you're not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you don't want to. You
could be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch off until you want to use it.

Resuming a Set Speed
If you set your cruise control at a desired speed and then
apply the brake, this will turn off the cruise control
function. But you don't need to reset it.
Once you're going about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more,
you can turn the lever to RESUME ACCEL for about
one second. You'll go right back to your chosen speed
and stay there.Increasing Speed While Using Cruise Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.

Use the accelerator pedal to go to a higher speed.
Turn the lever to COAST SET and release. Take
your foot off the accelerator pedal. You'll now cruise
at the higher speed.

Turn the lever to RESUME ACCEL. Hold the lever
at RESUME ACCEL until you get up to the speed
you want, then release the lever.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise Control
To reduce your speed, turn and hold the lever in the
COAST SET position until you reach the lower speed
you want, then release the lever.
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 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.
Getting Out of Cruise Control
There are three ways to turn off cruise control:

Step lightly on the brake pedal, or push the clutch
pedal if you have a manual transmission.

Push in the CANCEL button on the end of the cruise
control lever.

Press the CRUISE CTRL. switch on the
instrument panel.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.Exterior Lamps
JE±12±0031±X
