WARNING
If the cruise control is left on, (cruise indicator light is illuminat-

switched on accidentally. Keep
the cruise control system 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.
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.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control system.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehiclespeed.CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do not
shift into neutral without depress- ing the clutch pedal, since theengine will be overrevved. If this happens, depress the clutch pedal
or release the cruise control ON-OFF switch.
