Cruise Control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a
constant speed without pressing the
accelerator pedal.This system is designed to function
above approximately 20 mph (30
km/h ).
CRUISE CONTROL (CC) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on,
(cruise indicator light is illu-
minated), the cruise control
can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise control
system off when the cruise
control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use the cruise controlwhen 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 sys-
tem.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise con-
trol system, which may
increase the vehicle speed.

speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the switch up (to RES+) and hold it. Your vehicle will accelerate.
Release the switch at the speed
you want.
Move the switch up (to RES+) and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1 mph (or 1
km/h ) each time you move the
switch up (to RES+) in this manner.
To decrease the cruising
speed:
Follow either of these procedures:
Move the switch down (to SET-)and hold it. Your vehicle will gradu-
ally slow down. Release the switch
at the speed you want to maintain.
