UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 97 Using Speed Control On Hills Your vehicle is equipped with interactive speed control. This feature activates when driving up or down hills with the speed control engaged and the driver's foot off the accelerator. For vehicles with manual transmission: The set speed control is switched off when declutching exceeds four seconds during downshifting. In some cases, you may have to step on the brake pedal to slow down sufficiently to achieve the desired speed. NOTE: On very steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur. It may be preferable to drive without speed control. GARAGE DOOR OPENER (If Equipped) The HomeLink Universal Transceiver replaces up to three remote controls (hand-held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage door openers, motorized gates, or home lighting. The transceiver triggers these devices at the push of a button. The transceiver operates off your vehicle's battery and charging system: no batteries are needed. For additional information on HomeLink , call 1-800- 355-3515, or on the internet at www.homelink.com. 3 WARNING! Speed control can be dangerous where the system can't maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose control. An accident could be the result. Don't use speed control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery. For vehicles with automatic transmission: On a downgrade or an upgrade, downshifting will occur automatically to allow the engine's braking power to maintain the set speed. When more level roadway is reached, the transmission will automatically upshift to fifth gear.
