Speed Control system can be reactivated by pushing the
Electronic Speed Control switch ON/OFF button and
resetting the desired vehicle set speed.

Accelerating To Pass

Depress the accelerator as you normally would. When
the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set
speed.

NOTE:

The Electronic Speed Control system maintains

speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.

Your vehicle may experience a downshift (automatic
transmissions only) while climbing 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.

WARNING!

Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your ve-
hicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you
could lose control. An accident could be the result.
Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic
or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, or
slippery.

REAR PARK ASSIST SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The Rear Park Assist system provides visible and audible
indications of the distance between the rear fascia and the
detected obstacle, when backing up. When backing up,
you should also use the inside rearview and outside
mirrors.
