INCREASING POWER ECONOMY  
Vehicle range depends on a number of factors.  
• If you move the shift lever to the N (Neutral)  
position, the cruise control will be canceled.  
To resume the preset speed, push and re-  
lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle will  
resume the last set cruising speed when the  
vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h).  
Actual vehicle range will vary depending upon:  
• speed,  
To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of  
the following methods.  
• vehicle load,  
• Depress the accelerator pedal. When the ve-  
hicle attains the preferred speed, push and re-  
lease the COAST/SET switch.  
• electrical load from vehicle accessories,  
• traffic and road conditions,  
NISSAN recommends the following driving  
habits to help maximize vehicle range:  
• Push and hold the ACCEL/RES switch. When  
the vehicle attains the preferred speed, release  
the switch.

switch. Each time you do this, the set speed will  
increase by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).
