Cruise Control
Your vehicle has cruise
control.
9 (Off): Slide the switch to this position to turn the
system off.
R (On): Slide the switch to this position to turn the
system on.
+ (Resume/Accelerate): Slide the switch to this
position to make the vehicle accelerate or resume a
previously set speed.
T (Set): Press this button at the end of the lever to
set the speed.
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot on
the accelerator. This can really help on long trips. Cruise
control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
Cruise control will not work if your parking brake is set,
or if the master cylinder brake fluid level is low.
{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control, and has the Traction
Control System (TCS), and it begins to limit wheel
spin, the cruise control automatically disengages. See
Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you can
turn cruise control back on.
