CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con‐
stant speed without pressing the accel‐ erator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20
mph).
WARNING
•If the cruise control is left on,(CRUISE indicator light in the in‐strument cluster illuminated) thecruise control can be switched onaccidentally. Keep the cruise con‐trol system off (CRUISE indicatorlight OFF) when the cruise controlis not in use, to avoid inadvertent‐ly setting a speed.
•Use the cruise control system onlywhen traveling on open highwaysin good weather.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Do not use the cruise control whenit may not be safe to keep the carat a constant speed, for instance,driving in heavy or varying traffic,or on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-covered) or winding roads or over6% uphill or down-hill roads.
•Pay particular attention to thedriving conditions whenever usingthe cruise control system.
CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of amanual transaxle vehicle, do notshift into neutral without depressingthe clutch pedal, since the enginewill be over-revved. If this happens,depress the clutch pedal or releasethe cruise control ON-OFF switch.
NOTICE
During normal cruise control opera‐
tion, when the SET switch is activa‐
ted 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.
