192 STARTING AND DRIVING CAUTION! • For safety reasons, the main switch (A) should be set to the OFF position when you are not using the cruise/speed control system. • Cruise/speed control is not recommended when driving conditions will not allow you to stay at the same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, or slippery, or on a steep downhill. • For vehicles with manual transaxles, if you shift to "N" (Neutral) in cruise/speed control mode without pressing the clutch first, the engine will run too fast and might be damaged. NOTE • Cruise/speed control may not be able to keep your speed on uphills or downhills. • Your speed may drop on a steep uphill. You must use the accelerator if you want to stay at your set speed. • Your speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep downhill. You must use the brake to control your speed. If your speed increases too much, turn off the cruise/speed control. (Refer to the section "To deactivate" on page 196.) To activate 1. Momentarily push in the main switch (A) at the end of the cruise/speed control lever. I10A1490
