To Vary the Speed Setting
When the speed control is set, you can increase speed by
pushing up and holding the lever in RESUME ACCEL.
Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and
the new set speed will be established.
Tapping RESUME ACCEL once will result in a 1 mph (1.6
km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped,
speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will
increase speed by 3 mph (5 km/h), etc.
To decrease speed while the speed control is set, push
downward and hold the lever in SET DECEL. Release the
lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new set
speed will be established.
Tapping SET DECEL once will result in a 1 mph (1.6
km/h) speed decrease. Each time the lever is tapped,
speed decreases.
To Accelerate For Passing
Depress the accelerator pedal as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the
set speed.
Using Speed Control on Hills
NOTE:
The speed control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so
it may be preferable to drive without speed control.
