E090000AFD

The cruise control system allows you to
program the vehicle to maintain a con-
stant speed without resting your foot on
the accelerator pedal.
This system is designed to function
above approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).

NOTICE

During normal cruise control operation,

when the SET switch is activated or

reactivated after applying the brakes,

the cruise control will energize after

approximately 3 seconds. This delay is

normal.

To set cruise control speed:

1. Pull the CRUISE ON-OFF button on

the steering wheel to turn the system
on. The CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate.

2. Accelerate to the desired speed, which

must be more than 40 km/h (25 mph).

CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING

• If the cruise control is left on,

(CRUISE indicator light in the
instrument cluster illuminated)
the cruise control can be
switched on accidentally. Keep
the cruise control system off
(CRUISE indicator light OFF)
when the cruise control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently set-
ting a speed.

• Use the cruise control system

only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.

• Do not use the cruise control

when it may not be safe to keep
the car at a constant speed, for
instance, driving in heavy or
varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or
winding roads or over 6% up-hill
or down-hill roads.

(Continued)

(Continued)
• Pay particular attention to the

driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control system.

• Be careful when driving downhill

using the cruise control system,
which may increase the vehicle
speed.

CAUTION

During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do not
shift into neutral without depress-
ing the clutch pedal, since the
engine will be overrevved. If this
happens, depress the clutch pedal
or release the cruise control
ON/OFF switch.
