110 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE To Vary the Speed Setting: When the speed control is set, speed can be increased by pushing the lever up and holding ("ACC/RES"). When the lever is released, a new set speed will be established. Pushing the lever up and releasing ("ACC/RES") once will result in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is pushed up and released, speed increases so that pushing the lever up and releasing three times will increase speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h), etc. To decrease speed while speed control is set, push the lever down and hold ("COAST"). Release the lever when the desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set. Pushing down and releasing the lever ("COAST") once will result in a 1 mph (2 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the lever is pushed down and released, speed decreases. To Accelerate For Passing: Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed. NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal. Four speed automatic transmissions will experience a downshift to 3rd gear while climbing uphill or descending downhill. This downshift to 3rd gear is necessary to maintain vehicle set speed. On steep hills a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive without speed control. 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.
