Driving your vehicle

The cruise control system allows you

to program the vehicle to maintain a

constant speed without depressing

the accelerator pedal.

This system is designed to function

above approximately 25 mph (40

km/h).

If the cruise control is left on,

(CRUISE indicator light in the instru-

ment cluster illuminated) the cruise

control can be switched on acciden-

tally. Keep the cruise control system

off (CRUISE indicator light OFF)

when the cruise control is not in use,

to avoid inadvertently setting a

speed.

Use the cruise control system only

when traveling on open highways in

good weather.

Do not use the cruise control when

driving in heavy or varying traffic, or

on slippery (rainy, icy or snow-cov-

ered) or winding roads or over 6%

up-hill or down-hill roads.

✽✽

NOTICE

During normal cruise control opera-

tion, when the SET switch is activat-

ed or reactivated after applying the

brakes, the cruise control will ener-

gize after approximately 3 seconds.

This delay is normal.

✽

NOTICE

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 normal condi-

tion.

To set cruise control speed:

1. Press the CRUISE ON-OFF but-

ton on the steering wheel to turn

the system on. The CRUISE indi-

cator light in the instrument cluster

will illuminate.

• Move the lever (1) down (to SET-)

and release it immediately. The

cruising speed will decrease by 1.0

mph (1.6 km/h) each time the lever

is operated in this manner.

To temporarily accelerate with

the cruise control on:

If you want to speed up temporarily

when the cruise control is on,

depress the accelerator pedal.

Increased speed will not interfere

with the cruise control operation or

change the set speed.

To return to the set speed, take your

foot off the accelerator.

To cancel cruise control, do

one of the following:

• Depress the brake pedal.

• Depress the clutch pedal with a

manual transaxle.

• Shift into N (Neutral) with an auto-

matic transaxle.

• Press the CANCEL switch.

• Decrease the vehicle speed lower

than the memory speed by 9 mph

(15 km/h).

• Decrease the vehicle speed to less

than approximately 25 mph (40

km/h).

Each of these actions will cancel

cruise control operation (the SET

indicator light in the instrument clus-

ter will go off), but it will not turn the

system off. If you wish to resume

cruise control operation, move the

lever up (to RES+). You will return to

your previously preset speed.

To resume cruising speed at

more than approximately 25

mph (40 km/h):

If any method other than the

CRUISE ON-OFF switch was used

to cancel cruising speed and the sys-

tem is still activated, the most recent

set speed will automatically resume

when you move the lever (1) up (to

RES+).

It will not resume, however, if the

vehicle speed has dropped below

approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

To turn cruise control off, do

one of the following:

• Press the CRUISE ON-OFF button

(the CRUISE indicator light in the

instrument cluster will go off).

• Turn the ignition off.

Both of these actions will cancel the

cruise control operation. If you want

to resume the cruise control opera-

tion, repeat the steps provided in “To

set cruise control speed” on the pre-

vious page.
