Cruise control (optional)
The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal switch lever.
To engage and set desired speed:
1. Set switch (1) to ON.
2. Accelerate to desired cruise speed.
NOTE: The cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 22 mph (35 km).
3. Depress SET SPEED switch (2).
Operating brake pedal or clutch pedal
Will automatically disengage the cruise control. Previously selected cruise speed is retained in the
memory. It can be re-introduced by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position.
NOTE: The vehicle will accelerate very quickly should there be a substantial speed differential when
the switch is reset to RESUME. It is therefore recommended that the vehicle be accelerated manually
and the switch reset to RESUME when the speed differential is reduced.
Acceleration
Momentary acceleration, such as for passing, does not interrupt cruise control operation. The previously
selected speed will be maintained without having to set switch to RESUME.
Disengage the cruise control system
- set switch (1) to position OFF
- depress brake pedal
- depress clutch pedal (where applicable).
Switching off the starting (ignition) switch is will automatically disengage the cruise control system.
