Driving your vehicle
Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument cluster
displays the shift lever position when
the ignition switch is in the ON posi-
tion.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). This posi-
tion locks the transmission and pre-
vents the drive wheels from rotating.R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
N (Neutral)
The wheels and transmission are not
engaged. The vehicle will roll freely
even on the slightest incline unless
the parking brake or service brakes
are applied.(Continued)
Before leaving the driver’s
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position. Set the parking
brake fully, shut the engine off
and take the key with you.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur if
you do not follow these pre-
cautions in the order speci-
fied.
WARNING
Shifting into P (Park) while thevehicle is in motion will cause
the drive wheels to lock which
will cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
Do not use the P (Park) posi- tion in place of the parking
brake. Always make sure the
shift lever is latched in the P
(Park) position and set the
parking brake fully.
Never leave a child unattend- ed in a vehicle.
(Continued)CAUTION
The transmission may be dam-aged if you shift into P (Park)while the vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stopbefore shifting into or out of R(Reverse); you may damage thetransmission if you shift into Rwhile the vehicle is in motion,except as explained in “Rockingthe vehicle” in this section.

Driving your vehicle
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without pressing the
accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 25 mph (40
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.
✽ ✽NOTICE
To activate cruise control, depress
the brake pedal at least once after
turning the ignition switch to the ON
position or starting the engine. This
is to check if the brake switch which
is important part to cancel cruise
control is in normal condition.
CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on,
(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminat-
ed) 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 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 sys-
tem.
Be careful when driving down- hill using the cruise control
system, which may increase
the vehicle speed.
WARNING- Misuse cruise
control
Do not use cruise control if the
traffic situation does not allow
you to drive safely at a constant
speed and with sufficient dis-
tance to the vehicle in front.

To set cruise control speed:
1. Push the cruise switch on the
steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than 25 mph
(40 km/h) and less than 113 mph
(180 km/h). 3. Move the lever (1) down (to SET-),
and release it at the desired
speed. The SET indicator light in
the instrument cluster will illumi-
nate. Release the accelerator
pedal. The desired speed will
automatically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly whilegoing uphill or downhill.
To increase cruise control set
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the lever (1) up (to RES+) and hold it. Your vehicle will accel-
erate. Release the lever at the
speed you want.
Move the lever (1) up (to RES+) and release it immediately. The
cruising speed will increase by 1.0
mph (1.6 km/h) each time you
move the lever up (to RES+) in this
manner.

Operate the parking brake. Do not
operate the parking brake while
driving except in an emergency sit-
uation.
Each of these actions will cancelcruise control operation (the SETindicator light in the instrument clus-ter will go off), but it will not turn thesystem off. If you wish to resumecruise control operation, move thelever up (to RES+). You will return toyour previously preset speed.
To resume cruising speed at
more than approximately 40
km/h (25 mph):
If any method other than the cruise
switch was used to cancel cruising
speed and the system is still activat-
ed, the most recent set speed will
automatically resume when you
move the lever (1) up (to RES+).
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Push the cruise switch (the CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will go off).
Turn the engine off.
Both of these actions cancel cruise control operation. If you want toresume cruise control operation,repeat the steps provided in “To setcruise control speed” on the previouspage.
