Cruise control
The cruise control switches are located on the turn signal lever. The indicator light on the instrument
panel (
see page 21 ) will come on when cruise control is turned on.
To engage and set the desired speed:
1. Set switch (B) to ON. (The text CRUISE is shown in the left display)
2. Accelerate to the 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. The 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. 1.5 mph (2.0 km/h). When the button is released, the vehicle will maintain the current speed.
If the actual speed falls below 70% of the set speed or if the wheels spin or lock, the cruise control will
disengage automatically.
Note: When driving up steep hills with the cruise control engaged, the transmission may shift
intermittently. You can avoid this by manually selecting a lower gear.
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.
