CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

■ Normal vision

This system is designed to function

above approximately 30 km/h (20 mph).

CAUTION

During cruise-speed driving of a

manual transaxle vehicle, do not

shift into neutral without depress-

ing the clutch pedal, since the

engine will be overrevved. If this

happens, depress the clutch pedal

or release the cruise control ON-

OFF switch.

WARNING

• If the cruise control is left on,

(cruise indicator light is illuminat-

ed), the cruise control can be

switched on accidentally. Keep

the cruise control system off

when the cruise control is not in

use, to avoid inadvertently set-

ting a speed.

✽

NOTICE

• During normal cruise control opera-

tion, when the SET switch is activated

or reactivated after applying the

brakes, the cruise control will ener-

gize after approximately 3 seconds.

This delay is normal.

• To activate cruise control, depress the

brake pedal at least once after turning

the ignition switch to the ON position

or starting the engine. This is to check

if the brake switch which is important

part to cancel cruise control is in nor-

mal condition.

• Use the cruise control system

only when traveling on open

highways in good weather.

■ Supervision

• Do not use the cruise control

when it may not be safe to keep

the vehicle at a constant speed,

for instance, driving in heavy or

varying traffic, or on slippery

(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or

winding roads or over 6% up-hill

or down-hill roads.

• Pay particular attention to the

driving conditions whenever

using the cruise control system.
