Cruise control
The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal switch lever.
To engage and set desired speed:
1. Set switch (B) to ON.
2. Accelerate to desired cruise speed.
3. Press the + or - area of the SET button (A) to set the desired speed.
NOTE: The cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 22 mph (35 km).
Braking
This will automatically disengage the cruise control. Previously selected cruise control speed is retained
in the memory and by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position, that speed will be re-
engaged.
If the cruise control is already engaged, the cruising speed can be increased or decreased by depressing
the SET button (A) towards either + or -. One short press on the button corresponds to a speed change of
approx. 1 mph (1.6 km/h). When the button is released, the vehicle will maintain the current speed.
If actual speed falls below 70% of set speed or if the wheels spin or lock, the cruise control will
disengage automatically.
NOTE: (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)
