PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL
°
If the cruise control system malfunctions, it
cancels automatically. The SET indicator
light on the meter panel then blinks to warn
the driver.

If the SET indicator light blinks, turn the
cruise control main switch off and have the
system checked by your NISSAN dealer.
°
The SET indicator light may blink when the

the
accelerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle will return to the previ-
ously set speed.
°
The vehicle may not maintain the set speed
when going up or down steep hills. If this
happens, drive without the cruise control.
To cancel the preset speed,
follow either of
these three methods:
a) Push the cancel switch; The SET indicator
light will go out.
b) Tap the brake pedal; The SET indicator
light will go out.
c) Turn the main switch off. Both the CRUISE
indicator and SET indicator lights will go
out.
°

ing the RES/ACCEL set switch and reset at
the cruising speed, turn the main switch off
once and then turn it on again.

sion), or move the selector lever to N (Neu-
tral) position (automatic transmission). The
