Cruise control
Cruise control enables you to maintain a constant ve-
hicle speed without holding your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal and it is operative when the vehicle speed is
25 mph (40 km/h) or more. Make sure the main switch
is turned “OFF” when the cruise control is not in use to
avoid unintentionally setting the cruise control.
Do not use the cruise control under any of the
following conditions. This may cause loss of
vehicle control: "driving up or down a steep grade
" driving on slippery or winding roads
"driving in heavy traffic !
To set cruise control

At this time, the “ ” indicator light is illuminated in the combination meter.
The vehicle will maintain the desired speed.
Vehicle speed can be temporarily increased while
driving with the cruise control activated. Simply de-
press the accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle
will return to and maintain the previous cruising speed. !To temporarily cancel the cruise con- trol
There are four ways to cancel the cruise control tem-
porarily: "
Pull the control lever in the “CANCEL” direction (if
so equipped). " Depress the brake pedal.
" Depress the clutch pedal (manual transmission ve-
hicles only)." Shift the selector lever into the “N” position (auto-
matic transmission vehicles only).
The “ ” indicator light in the combination meter
goes off when the cruise control is cancelled.
To resume the cruise control after it has been tempo-
rarily canceled and with vehicle speed of about 20
mph (32 km/h) or more, push the control lever upward
in the “RES/ACC” direction to return to the original
