Braking
This will automatically disengage the cruise control. Previously selected cruise speed is retained in the
memory and by momentarily setting the switch to the 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)
When driving up steep hills with the cruise control engaged, the transmission may shift intermittently.
This can be avoided by switching between transmission modes E or S while on the hill.
Normally, the ( E )conomy mode should be used when the cruise control is engaged.
Acceleration
Momentary acceleration, such as for passing, does not interrupt cruise control operation. The previously
selected speed will be maintained without having to set the switch to RESUME.
To disengage the cruise control system:
Set switch (B) to OFF, depress the brake pedal or move the gear selector to position N. Switching off the
starting (ignition) switch will automatically disengage the cruise control system.
On cars equipped with manual transmissions, the cruise control can also be disengaged by depressing
the clutch.
WARNING! The cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or when driving on wet or slippery
roads.
