BREAK-IN SCHEDULE GUID-5E126292-CA82-4264-889E-7E63D9C916E6 FUEL EFFICIENT DRIVING TIPS GUID-D1FD9EBF-C70D-4C02-91ED-B240E06FFEE2 To reset at a faster cruising speed, use one of the following methods: . Depress the accelerator pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push and release the COAST/SET switch. . Push and hold the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, release the switch. . Push, then quickly release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch. Each time you do this, the set speed will increase by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h). To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one of the following methods: . Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle attains the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch and release it. . Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Release the switch when the vehicle slows down to the desired speed. . Push, then quickly release the COAST/SET switch. Each time you do this, the set speed will decrease by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h). To resume the preset speed, push and release the ACCELERATE/RESUME switch. The vehicle will resume the last set cruising speed when the vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h). CAUTION During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), follow these recommendations to obtain maximum engine performance and ensure the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle. Failure to follow these recommendations may result in shortened engine life and reduced engine performance. . Avoid driving for long periods at constant speed, either fast or slow.
