CRUISE CONTROL
(IF EQUIPPED)The cruise control system provides
automatic speed control for your comfort
when driving on freeways, tollroads, or
other noncongested highways. This
system is designed to function above
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
TO SET THE CRUISE1. Push in the cruise control main
switch. This turns the system on.
2. Accelerate to the desired cruising
speed above 25 mph (40 km/h).
3. Push the "COAST/SET" control
switch and release it. The "CRUISE"
indicator light in the instrument
cluster will illuminate after you have
set the vehicle to the desired speed.
4. Remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal and the desired
speed will automatically be
maintained.5. To increase speed, temporarily
depress the accelerator pedal enough
for the vehicle to exceed the preset
speed. When you remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal, the
vehicle will return to the speed you
have set.
TO CANCEL THE CRUISE
SPEEDDo one of the followings:
• Depress the brake pedal.
• Depress the clutch pedal (Manual
transaxle).
• Shift the shift lever to the “N”
position (Automatic transaxle).
• Decrease the vehicle speed 12mph
(20 km/h) lower than memorized
speed.
• Decrease the vehicle speed to less
than approximately 25 mph (40

✻
NOTICE
• Keep the main switch off when
not using the cruise control.
• Do not use the cruise control
when it may not be safe to keep
the car at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-
hill or down-hill roads.
• Pay particular attention to the
driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control system.
• During cruise-speed driving with
a manual transaxle vehicle, do
not shift into neutral without
depressing the clutch pedal,
since the engine will be over-
revved. If this happens, depress
the clutch pedal or release the
main switch.
• During normal cruise control
operation, when the set button is
activated or reactivated after
applying the brakes, the cruise
control will energize after
approximately 3 seconds. This
delay is normal.

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
4-40TRACTION CONTROL
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)On a slippery road surface, the traction
control system (TCS) prevents the drive
wheels from spinning excessively, thus
helping the car to accelerate. It also
ensures sufficient driving force and
steering performance when the car turns
at accelerated speeds.
CRUISETCS
MMSA4017
CAUTION
When the TCS indicator blinks, the
TCS function function has been
activated due to slippery road con-
ditions or excessive acceleration.
When this happens, release foot
pressure from the accelerator pedal
and maintain a moderate speed.
WARNING
Traction control is a driving aid;
all normal precautions for
driving in inclement weather
and on slippery road surfaces
should be observed.
