Cruise Control
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.
The Cruise Control automates the function of the
accelerator pedal to maintain your car at a constant speed. This can
be a convenience on long trips, but it can also be a danger if there
are many other cars on the road or if the road is unfamiliar. Pay
strict attention to the responsibility of driving whenever using the
Cruise Control.
CAUTION: Because the Cruise Control directly activates the
accelerator pedal, don't rest your foot under the pedal when the
Cruise Control is on; it may pull the pedal down onto your foot.
NOTE:
With Cruise Control on, your speed will still vary slightly,
particularly when going up or down hills.
Do not ride the brakes or clutch (5 speed transmission), as this will
cause the Cruise Control to disengage.
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 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.
