CRUISE CONTROL
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of loss of
control, the cruise control should
not be used in heavy traffi c (city driving)
or on winding, slippery or unsealed
roads.
The cruise control system attempts to
maintain the vehicle speed set by the
driver. The system has a set speed
display in the MFD (Multifunction Display).
When the cruise control is set, it shows
the speed the cruise control is trying to
achieve. When in coast, it shows the
previously set speed.
The cruise control system has been
designed to allow easy setting to speed
“zones”. For convenience, there is an
indexing capability which adjusts the
set speed to the next speed zone up or
down as directed by the driver e.g. 60
km/h, 70km/h, 80km/h etc.
To enable cruise control
Pull the CRUISE switch on the steering
wheel to enable the cruise control
system.
The MFD indicates “CRUISE” when the
cruise control is enabled and ready to
be set.
The “CRUISE” indicator may fl ash if the
cruise control is not ready or there is a
fault in the system. The cruise control
system is not ready if it has not seen a
brake application since ignition key ON.
To set a speed
With the cruise control enabled, press
either of the SET switches located on
the steering wheel to set and store the
current vehicle speed.
The “CRUISE SET” indicator will be
illuminated and the set speed shown
in the MFD (Multifunction Display). The
vehicle will now control to the set speed
(in this example 100km/h).
