Turning on the system
To operate the cruise control, push the main switch. This
turns the system on. The indicator light in the instrument
cluster shows that you can now set your desired cruising
speed. Another push on the switch will turn the system
completely off.
When the ignition key is turned off, the main switch is also
automatically turned off. To use the cruise control again,
push the main switch again to turn it on.
CAUTION
!
To avoid accidental cruise control engagement,
keep the main switch off when not using the cruise
control.
Setting at a desired speed
The transmission must be in “D” before you set the cruise
control speed.
Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, press the control
lever downward in the “SET/COAST” direction and release
it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. Now you may take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. If you need acceleration – for
example, when passing – depress the accelerator pedal
enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you
release the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the
speed set prior to the acceleration.
Cancelling the preset speed
You can cancel the preset speed by any of the following:
a.
Pulling the control lever in the “CANCEL” direction.
b.
Depressing the brake pedal.
