CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
Setting Cruise Control
{
CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
1. Press the ON-OFF button at the end of the cruise
control lever. The CRUISE light on the instrument
panel cluster will come on. See Cruise Control Light
on page 3-39 for more information.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Move the lever down to SET/COAST and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose the cruise control is set at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This will shut off cruise
control. But you won’t need to reset it.
Unless you’re going less than 25 mph (40 km/h) you
can push the lever up to RES/ACC
(Resume/Accelerate). You’ll go right back up to your
chosen speed and stay there.
The cruise control set speed is erased from memory
if the vehicle speed goes below 25 mph (40 km/h).
If your preset speed cancels out at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h), there may be a problem with your
vehicle’s cruise control. See your dealer.
