The Cruise Control system allows
you to drive at speeds above 30km/h (20 mph) without depressing
the accelerator pedal.Information
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.
Before activating the cruise control function, the system will check to
verify that the brake switch is oper-
ating normally. Depress the brake
pedal at least once after turning ON
the ignition or starting the engine.
