Automatic speed control
The automatic speed control allows you to main-
tain a constant cruising speed of 25 mph (40
km/h) or higher, without actuating the accelera-
tor pedal. Any manual operation, such as accel-
erating, gearshifting or braking can be done in-
dependent of the automatic speed control. The
spring loaded control lever operating the auto-
matic speed control is located just below the
wiper/washer lever.
While driving with the automatic speed con-
trol set (at speeds above 25 mph or
40 km/h), do not bring shift lever into the
Neutral position as excessive engine rpm
will result.
To operate the automatic speed control
Accelerate to the desired cruising speed, push
lever toward instrument cluster (arrow 1) and re-
lease. This sets the cruising speed and stores it
in a memory.
After a second or two, automatic speed control
will take over, and you can remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal. The set cruising
speed will be maintained automatically.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control when it may be
unsafe to keep the car at a constant speed.
For example, a constant speed may not be
safe in heavy traffic, or on winding or
slippery roads. With the cruise control sys-
tem engaged, the engine speed will not re-
turn to idle when removing the foot from the
accelerator pedal.
Please observe all local and national speed
limits.
Passing:
When you want to drive faster for a brief mo-
ment, for example when passing another ve-
hicle, actuate the accelerator. When you take
your foot off the accelerator pedal, the preset
speed will automatically be resumed.
Gearshifting:
When shifting gears, the automatic speed con-
trol is only disengaged as long as the clutch
pedal is depressed. The preset speed will be re-
sumed as soon as you take your foot off the
clutch pedal.
Braking and stopping:
Whenever you apply the brake or come to a
stop, the automatic speed control is disen-
gaged. Move the lever down (arrow 2), and the
preset speed will be resumed.
Switching system off:
To switch the automatic speed control off, move
the lever toward you (arrow 3). To resume the
preset speed, move the lever down (arrow 2).
