Tapping the Electronic Speed Control lever to RESUME
ACCEL once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed
increase. Each time the Electronic Speed Control lever is
tapped speed increases, so tapping the Electronic Speed
Control lever three times will increase speed by 3 mph
(4.8 km/h), etc.
To decrease speed while Electronic Speed Control is set,
push down and hold the Electronic Speed Control lever
in SET DECEL. Release the Electronic Speed Control
lever when the desired speed is reached, and a new set
speed will be established.
Tapping the Electronic Speed Control lever to SET DE-
CEL once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed
decrease. Each time the Electronic Speed Control lever is
tapped, speed decreases.
To Accelerate For Passing
Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control on Hills
NOTE: The Electronic Speed Control system maintains
speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
The automatic transmission will downshift while climb-
ing uphill or descending downhill. This downshift is
necessary to maintain vehicle set speed.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur, so
it may be preferable to drive without Electronic Speed
Control.
