Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot 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
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.The cruise control lever
is located below the
windshield wiper control
on the right side of
the steering wheel.
QRES + (Resume/Accelerate):Push the lever
up to resume the cruise control speed, or to
accelerate when passing another vehicle.
J(CRUISE CONTROL) ON/OFFq:Press the
button on the end of the lever to turn the cruise
control on. Press it again to turn cruise control off.
RSET — (Set/Coast/Decelerate):Push the
lever down to set the cruise speed. If the cruise
speed is already set this position can be used
to coast or decelerate from a higher speed.
CANCEL
R:Pull the lever to cancel the cruise
control speed.
177

Cruise control allows a speed of approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more to be maintained
without keeping your foot on the accelerator. This
is helpful on long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel
spin, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. SeeTraction Control System (TCS)
on page 353. When road conditions allow,
the cruise control can be used again.Setting Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when
you are not using cruise, you might hit a
button and go into cruise when you do not
want to. You could be startled and even
lose control. Keep the cruise control switch
off until you want to use cruise control.
1. Push the button at the end of the cruise
control lever to turn the cruise control on.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed.
3. Push down on the cruise control lever and
release it. This will set the speed in cruise
control.
4. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
This symbol will appear
on the instrument panel
cluster when the
cruise control is set.
