PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Cruise control lets you maintain a set speed without keeping your foot
on the accelerator pedal.

USING CRUISE CONTROL

WARNING: Do not use cruise control in heavy traffic, on
winding roads or when the road surface is slippery. This could

result in loss of vehicle control, serious injury or death.

WARNING: When you are going downhill, your vehicle speed
may increase above the set speed. The system will not apply the

brakes. Change down a gear to assist the system in maintaining the set
speed. Failure to do so could result in loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death.

Note: Cruise control will disengage if your vehicle speed decreases more
than 10 mph (16 km/h) below your set speed while driving uphill.

The cruise controls are located on
the steering wheel.
