2. Cruise set indicator
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.

NOTICE
• During normal cruise control oper-
ation, when the SET switch is acti-
vated or reactivated after applying
the brakes, the cruise control will
energize after approximately 3 sec-
onds. This delay is normal.
• To activate cruise control, depress the brake pedal at least once after
placing the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP button 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.
Cruise control switch
CANCEL : Cancels cruise control
operation.
CRUISE : Turns cruise control sys- tem on or off.
RES+ : Resumes or increases cruise
control speed.
SET- : Sets or decreases cruise con- trol speed.
To set cruise control speed:
1. Press the CRUISE button on thesteering wheel, to turn the system
on. The cruise indicator light will
illuminate.
2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which must be more than approxi-
mately 20 mph (30 km/h).

3. Move the switch down (to SET-),and release it at the desired
speed. The cruise set indicator
light will illuminate. Release the
accelerator pedal at the same
time. The desired speed will auto-
matically be maintained.
On a steep grade, the vehicle mayslow down or speed up slightly whilegoing downhill.
To increase cruise control set
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.
Move the switch down (to SET-) and release it immediately. The
cruising speed will decrease by 1
mph (or 1 km/h) each time you
move the switch down (to SET-) in
this manner.

To temporarily accelerate with
the cruise control on:
If you want to speed up temporarily
when the cruise control is on,
depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere
with cruise control operation or
change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
To cancel cruise control, do
one of the following:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift into N (Neutral) if equipped
with an Dual clutch transmission.
Press the CANCEL button located on the steering wheel.
Decrease the vehicle speed lower than the memory speed by approx-
imately 12 mph (20 km/h).
Decrease the vehicle speed to less than approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).
Each of these actions will cancelcruise control operation (the
cruise
set
indicator light will go off), but it
will not turn the system off. If you wish to resume cruise control opera-tion, move up the switch (to RES+)located on your steering wheel. Youwill return to your previously presetspeed.

more than approximately 20
mph (30 km/h).
If any method other than the
CRUISE button was used to cancel
cruising speed and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when the
RES+ switch is pushed.
It will not resume, however, if the
vehicle speed has dropped below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
To turn cruise control off, do
one of the following:
Press the CRUISE button (thecruise indicator light will be turn off).
If your vehicle equipped the speed limit system, press the CRUISE
button twice. (The cruise indicator
light will be turn off.)
