➀CRUISE indicator
➁SET indicator
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without resting your
foot on the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h).✽ ✽
NOTICE
During normal cruise control opera-
tion, when the SET switch is activat-
ed or reactivated after applying the
brakes, the cruise control will ener-
gize 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 could activate
unintentionally. Keep the cruise
control system off (CRUISE
indicator light OFF) when the
cruise control is not in use, to
avoid inadvertent activation.
Use the cruise control system
only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
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.
Be careful when driving down-
hill using the cruise control
system, which may increase
the vehicle speed.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of 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
cruise control ON-OFF switch.
