Cruise Control
If your vehicle has 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 will not set at speeds
below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
can not drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not 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. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.

Setting Cruise Control
1. Press the CRUISE
ON/OFF button located
on the instrument
panel to turn the
system on. The
indicator light in the
button will come
on. Wait at least one
second after turning the
system on before
setting a speed.
Once the CRUISE ON/OFF switch is turned on, it
will come on each time you start your vehicle
until you manually turn if off.2. Accelerate to the speed you want, turn the end of
the lever to COAST SET and release it; the
CRUISE light will come on. Cruise will not set below

Resuming a Set Speed
If you set your cruise control at a desired speed then
suspend cruise by applying the brake, by pressing
the clutch pedal if you have a manual transmission or
by pressing CANCEL, you don't need to reset it.
You may resume your previously set speed by brie¯y
turning the switch to RESUME ACCEL (Accelerate),
provided your speed has not dropped below 25 mph
(40 km/h). If your speed has dropped below 25 mph
(40 km/h), accelerate to 25 mph (40 km/h) or greater
then turn the switch to RESUME ACCEL. There is
a short time delay after your speed is suspended until
you can reset the cruise control to your desired speed.
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 switch on the lever down to COAST SET
and release it. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal. You'll now cruise at the higher speed.
·Turn the switch on the lever up to RESUME
ACCEL. Hold the switch at RESUME ACCEL until
you get up to the speed you want, then release
the switch.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
To reduce your speed, turn the switch and hold it down
in the COAST SET position until you reach the lower
speed you want, then release the switch.

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 suspends cruise control. Many
drivers ®nd this to be too much trouble and don't use
cruise control on steep hills.
Suspending Cruise Control
There are two ways to suspend 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.
Ending Cruise Control
To end cruise control press CRUISE ON/OFF on the
instrument panel.
Erasing Speed Memory
Cruise control set speed memory is erased when you
turn off the CRUISE ON/OFF switch or anytime you turn
the ignition off.

Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts
as needed. Replace any components that have high
effort or excessive wear. Do not lubricate accelerator
and cruise control cables.
Rear Axle and Front Axle
(Four-Wheel-Drive) Service
Check the gear lubricant level and add if needed. SeeRear Axle on page 5-48andFour-Wheel Drive on
page 5-49. A ¯uid loss may indicate a problem. Check
the system(s), and repair the system(s) if needed. Refer
to
Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services on
page 6-4to determine when to change the lubricant.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
cha®ng, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Also inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including
drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc.
Check parking brake adjustment. You may need to have
your brakes inspected more often if your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
