Cruise Control (LX, EX) Cruise Control The Cruise Control system allows you to set and automatically maintain any speed above 25 mph (40 km/h) without keeping your foot on the accelerator. As its name implies, it is meant for cruising on straight, uncongested highways or freeways. It is not recommended to be used in traffic, on winding roads or in bad weather conditions where the driver should have total control. To Set the Cruise Control: Push the CRUISE CONTROL master switch on the dash; the indicator light will come on. Accelerate to the desired speed, then push and release the SET switch on the steering Push wheel. The Cruise Control light on the instrument panel will come on. The speed you were going when you released the SET switch is the speed the Cruise Control will hold. You can then "fine tune" the set speed by briefly holding and releasing the SET switch to decrease it a few mph or pushing the RESUME switch to slightly increase it. To Cancel the Cruise Control: Simply push the CRUISE CONTROL master switch and the indicator light will go off (this also erases the memory of the Push set speed). If you must temporarily disengage the system (but you wish to retain the memory of the set speed): tap the brake pedal, or the clutch pedal (5 speed transmission) or move the automatic transmission shift lever to N (Neutral). If you are still going above 25 mph (40 km/h), you can return to the set speed by simply pushing the RESUME switch. If the car has decelerated below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), you can return to the set speed by using the accelerator conventionally until the speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) and then pushing the RESUME switch.

Cruise Control (LX, EX)
Cruise Control
The Cruise Control system allows you to set and automatically
maintain any speed above 25 mph (40 km/h) without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. As its name implies, it is meant
for cruising on straight, uncongested highways or freeways. It
is not recommended to be used in traffic, on winding roads or
in bad weather conditions where the driver should have total
control.
To Set the Cruise Control:
Push the CRUISE CONTROL
master switch on the dash; the
indicator light will come on.
Accelerate
to
the
desired
speed, then push and release
the SET switch on the steering
wheel. The Cruise Control light
on the instrument panel will
come on.
The speed you were going
when you released the SET switch is the speed the Cruise Con-
trol will hold. You can then "fine tune" the set speed by briefly
holding and releasing the SET switch to decrease it a few mph
or pushing the RESUME switch to slightly increase it.
To Cancel the Cruise Control:
Simply push the CRUISE CON-
TROL master switch and the
indicator light will go off (this
also erases the memory of the
set speed).
If you must temporarily disen-
gage the system (but you wish
to retain the memory of the set
speed): tap the brake pedal, or
the clutch pedal (5 speed transmission) or move the automatic
transmission shift lever to N (Neutral). If you are still going
above 25 mph (40 km/h), you can return to the set speed by
simply pushing the RESUME switch. If the car has decelerated
below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), you can return to the
set speed by using the accelerator conventionally until the
speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) and then pushing the
RESUME switch.
