USING CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise (speed) control system can be used
by the driver to maintain a selected vehicle
speed above 18 mph (30 km/h).
1. SET (+): Press to engage cruise control
and set the current speed. It is also used to
increase the set speed until the desired
speed is obtained.
2. RES (Resume): Resumes the cruise
control set speed after it has been
disengaged.
3. CAN (Cancel): Press to disengage cruise
control. The set speed memory will be
retained.
4. (-): Press to decrease the set speed until
the desired speed is obtained.
SETTING VEHICLE SPEED
The driver must always ensure that a safe
speed is maintained within the speed limit,
taking account of road, traffic and weather
conditions.
Do not use cruise control in heavy traffic or
conditions where a constant road speed
cannot be easily and safely maintained, such
as on roads that are winding, wet with rain or
snow, slippery or unpaved.
Note: In certain conditions, such as a steep
downhill gradient, the vehicle speed may
exceed the set cruising speed. This is because
engine braking is unable to maintain or reduce
the vehicle speed. Driver intervention may be
required.
When you are travelling at the speed you
require press the set button.
Cruise control will engage and maintain the set
speed and you can remove your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
Note: Cruise control will automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is pressed or
when the vehicle speed falls below 18 mph (30
km/h).
CHANGING THE CRUISE SPEED
There are two ways to change the set speed:
Accelerate or decelerate to the desired
speed then press the set button.
Increase or decrease the speed by pressing
the speed adjustment buttons SET (+) or
(-) (1 or 4) until the desired speed is
obtained.
Note: The set speed can be increased or
decreased in steps of 1 mph (2 km/h), by
pressing the speed adjustment buttons (+) or
(-) briefly until the desired speed is obtained.
RESUMING THE SET SPEED
If the vehicle is accelerated above the set
speed, then the set speed will be resumed
when the accelerator pedal is released.
If the CAN button (3) or the brake pedal is
pressed, the cruise control will disengage but
the set speed memory will be retained. Press
RES (2) and the vehicle will return to the set
speed.
Note: Cruise control will not resume at speeds
below 18 mph (30 km/h).
