ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL —
IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than 18 mph
(30 km/h) up to the maximum speed of 105 mph
(170 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control Lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the Electronic
Speed Control system has been designed to shut down if
multiple speed control functions are operated at the same
time. If this occurs, the Electronic Speed Control system
can be reactivated rotating the end of the multifunction
lever (on/off) and resetting the desired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever upward to the
first detent, indicated by the speed control icon, to
activate the Electronic Speed Control. The Cruise Indi-
cator Light in the instrument cluster display will illu-
minate. To turn the system off, rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to the “O” position. The Cruise
Indicator Light will turn off. The system should be
turned off when not in use.
