SPEED CONTROL Speed Control
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance feature that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal.
This feature can be used at a speed
above 25 mph (40 km/h) on long
stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this feature on city roads with traffic. Do
not use it in town.
Warning!Do not use Speed Control under the
following conditions:
hilly terrain
steep inclines
heavy or unsteady traffic
slippery or winding roads
similar restrictions that require
inconsistent speed
Using the Speed Control under the
following conditions is dangerous and
could result in loss of vehicle control. Activation / Deactivation
Note: When the ignition is placed in
the OFF position, the system status
before it was turned off is stored. For
example, if the ignition is placed in the
OFF position while the Speed Control is
operating, the system will be operable
when the ignition is placed in the ON
position the next time.
Activating Speed Control
Push the ON button located on the
right side of the steering wheel with the
other Speed Control buttons. The
warning light (amber) in the instrument
cluster will illuminate.
Warning!Leaving the Speed Control system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to
go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always leave
the system off when you are not using it. 05100101-877-877AB

When a speed has not been set :the
warning light (amber) in the
instrument cluster is illuminated, push
the OFF/CAN button to deactivate.
Setting A Desired Speed
Proceed as follows:
1. Activate the Speed Control device
by pushing the ON button. The cruise
warning light (amber) illuminates.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed,
which must be more than 25 mph
(40 km/h).
3. Set the Speed Control by pushing
the SET (-) button at the desired speed.
The Speed Control is set at the
moment the SET (-) button is pushed.
Release the accelerator pedal
simultaneously. The
warning light
(green) illuminates.
Note: The Speed Control setting
cannot be performed under the
following conditions: Automatic transmission: the gear
selector is in the PARK or NEUTRAL
position.
Manual transmission: the gear
selector is in the NEUTRAL position or
when the clutch is disengaged (clutch
is depressed).
The parking brake is applied.
Release the SET (-) button at the
desired speed, otherwise the speed will
continue decreasing while the SET (-)
button is pushed and held (except
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed).
Note:
Release the SET (-) button at the
desired speed, otherwise the speed
will continue decreasing while the SET
(-) button is pushed and held (except
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed).
On a steep grade, the vehicle may
momentarily slow down while
ascending, or speed up while
descending.
The Speed Control will cancel if the
vehicle speed decreases below
16 mph (25 km/h) when climbing a
steep incline.
The Speed Control may cancel at
about 9 mph (15 km/h) below the
preset speed such as when climbing a
long, steep incline. The vehicle’s set speed is displayed in
the instrument cluster.
Increasing Speed
To increase speed using the Speed
Control buttons:
Push the RES (+) button and hold it ,
your vehicle will accelerate. Release the
button at the desired speed.
Push the RES (+) button and release
it immediately , to adjust the set speed.
Multiple pushes of the button will
increase the set speed according to the
number of times it is pushed.
Increasing speed with a single RES
(+) button operation:
If the instrument cluster display for
vehicle speed is indicated in mph:
speed will increase in 1 mph
increments.
If the instrument cluster display for
vehicle speed is indicated in km/h:
speed will increase in 1 km/h
increments.
To increase speed using
accelerator pedal:
Press the accelerator pedal to
accelerate to the desired speed.
Push the SET (-) button and release it
immediately. This new set speed will be
saved.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Note: Accelerate the vehicle to speed
up temporarily with the accelerator
pedal when the Speed Control is on.
Increasing the speed will not interfere
with, or change the set speed. Take
your foot off the accelerator to return to
the set speed.
Decreasing Speed
To decrease speed using the Speed
Control buttons:
Push the SET (-) button and hold it ,
the vehicle will gradually slow down.
Release the button at the desired
speed.
Push the SET (-) button and release
it immediately to adjust the set speed.
Multiple button pushes will decrease
the set speed according to the number
of times it is pushed.
Decreasing speed with a single SET
(-) button operation:
If the instrument cluster display for
vehicle speed is indicated in mph: the
speed will decrease in 1 mph
increments.
If the instrument cluster display for
vehicle speed is indicated in km/h: the
speed will decrease in 1 km/h
increments. Resume Speed
If any other method besides the
OFF/CAN button was used to cancel
cruising speed (such as applying the
brake pedal or pressing in the clutch
pedal) and the system is still activated,
the most recent set speed will
automatically resume when the RES (+)
button is pushed.
If vehicle speed is below 25 mph
(40 km/h), increase the vehicle speed
up to 16 mph (25 km/h) or more and
push RES (+) button.
Temporarily Canceling
The System
Warning!Leaving the Speed Control system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to
go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always leave
the system OFF when you are not using it.
To temporarily cancel the system, use
one of these methods:
Slightly press the brake pedal.
Press the clutch pedal (if equipped
with a manual transmission). Push OFF/CAN button.
If the RES (+) button is pushed when
the vehicle speed is 25 mph (40 km/h)
or higher, the system reverts to the
previously set speed.
Note: If any of the following conditions
occur, the Speed Control system is
temporarily canceled:
The parking brake is applied.
Automatic Transmission: the
gear selector is in the PARK or
NEUTRAL position.
Manual Transmission: the gear
selector is in the NEUTRAL position.
Automatic Transmission: the
Speed Control cannot be canceled
while driving in manual mode (gear
selector shifted from D to M position).
Therefore, engine braking will not be
applied even if the transmission is
shifted down to a lower gear. If
deceleration is required, lower the set
speed or press the brake pedal.
When the Speed Control system is
temporarily canceled, the speed cannot
be reset.

HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS Control
The Hazard Warning Lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.
The Hazard Warning Light switch is
located on the center instrument panel
below the radio. Push the switch to turn
theHazardWarningLightsonoroff.
Note: The Hazard Warning Lights warn
other drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take extreme
caution when near it. When the switch is pushed, the Hazard
Warning Lights are active and all
directional turn signals will flash on and
off to warn oncoming traffic of an
emergency. Push the switch a second
time to turn off the Hazard Warning
Lights. The hazard warning indicator
lights in the instrument cluster will flash
simultaneously.
Note:
The turn signals do not work while
the Hazard Warning Lights are
activated.
Check local regulations about the
use of Hazard Warning Lights while the
vehicle is being towed to verify that it is
not in violation of the law.
If the brake pedal is pressed while
driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all of the directional
turn signals to flash.
While the emergency stop signal
system is operating, all of the
directional turn signals automatically
flash rapidly to caution the driver of a
vehicle following behind of a sudden
braking situation. REPLACING A BULB General Instructions
Warning! Before proceeding with the replacement
of the lamp wait for the exhaust pipes are
cool: DANGER OF BURNS!
Modifications or repair of the electrical
system performed incorrectly and without
taking into account the technical
characteristics can cause malfunctions with
the risk of fire.
Halogen lamps contain gas under
pressure, in the event of breakage be
careful of the projection of fragments of
glass.
Halogen lamps must be handled by
touching only the metallic part. If the
transparent bulb is in contact with the
fingers, reduces the intensity of the emitted
light and you can also affect the life of the
lamp. In case of accidental contact, rub the
bulb with a cloth dampened with alcohol
and allow to dry.05031100-L12-001AB
