The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without depressing
the accelerator pedal.This system is designed to function
above approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
• If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illumi-
nated), the cruise control can
be switched on accidentally.
Keep the cruise control sys-
tem off (CRUISE indicator
light OFF) when the cruise
control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
• Use the cruise control system
only when driving on open
highways in good weather.
• Do not use the cruise control
when it may not be safe to
keep the vehicle 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.

(Continued)
• Pay particular attention to the
driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control sys-
tem.
• Be careful when driving
downhill using the cruise con-
trol system, which may
increase the vehicle speed.
CAUTION
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
CRUISE switch.

foot off the accelerator pedal.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
• Depress the brake pedal.
• Depress the clutch pedal with a
manual transaxle.
• Shift into N (Neutral) with an auto-
matic transaxle.
