The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con-stant speed without pressing the acceler-ator pedal. This system is designed to function
above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).✽✽
NOTICE
During normal cruise control operation,
when the SET switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after
approximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on, (CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminated)
the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep
the cruise control system off
(CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently set-ting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use the cruise controlwhen 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.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do notshift into neutral without depress-ing the clutch pedal, since the engine will be overrevved. If this
happens, depress the clutch pedalor release the cruise control ON-OFF switch.

3. Push the SET - switch, and release it at
the desired speed. The SET indicator
light in the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate. Release the accelerator at the
same time. The desired speed will auto-matically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle may slow
down or speed up slightly while goingdownhill.
To increase cruise control set speed:
Follow either of these procedures:

resume cruise control operation, pushthe RES+ switch located on your steeringwheel. You will return to your previously
preset speed.
To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 40 km/h(25 mph):
If any method other than the CRUISE
ON-OFF switch was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed willautomatically resume when the RES+
switch is pushed.
It will not resume, however, if the vehicle
speed has dropped below approximately40 km/h (25 mph). To turn cruise control off, do one
of the following:
Push the CRUISE ON-OFF button (the
CRUISE indicator light in the instru- ment cluster will go off).
