The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without resting your
foot on the accelerator pedal.
With cruise control, you can set and

between 40 km/h (24 mph) and
160 km/h (96 mph).
To set cruise control speed:1. Push the CRUISE ON-OFF button
on the steering wheel, to turn the
system on. The CRUISE indicator
light in the instrument cluster will
illuminate. 2. Accelerate to the desired speed,
which must be more than 40 km/h
(24 mph) and less than 160 km/h
(96 mph).
