Cruise Control
{
CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where you
cannot drive safely at a steady speed. So, do
not use your cruise control on winding roads
or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on slippery
roads. On such roads, fast changes in tire
traction can cause needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Do not use cruise
control on slippery roads.
The cruise control lever is
located below the
windshield wiper control on
the right side of the
steering wheel.
Q
RES + (Resume/Accelerate): Push the lever up to
resume the cruise control speed, or to accelerate
when passing another vehicle.
J
(CRUISE CONTROL) ON/OFF
q
: Press the
button on the end of the lever to turn the cruise control
on. Press it again to turn cruise control off.
R
SET — (Set/Coast/Decelerate): Push the lever
down to set the cruise speed. If the cruise speed
is already set this position can be used to coast or
decelerate from a higher speed.
CANCEL
R
: Pull the lever to cancel the cruise control
speed.
Cruise control allows a speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more to be maintained without keeping
your foot on the accelerator. This is helpful on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below about
25 mph (40 km/h).
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control shuts off.
If the vehicle is in cruise control and the Traction
Control System (TCS) begins to limit wheel spin, the
cruise control will automatically disengage. See Traction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-9. When road
conditions allow, the cruise control can be used again.
