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.

Switching Cruise Control On

Press the ON control up and release.

The indicator will appear in the instrument cluster.
