Cruise control
WARNING: Do not use cruise control
in traffic conditions where a
constant speed cannot be maintained or
on winding or slippery road surfaces.
▲
The cruise control system allows you to
maintain a selected vehicle speed above
48 km/h (30 mph) without having to use
the accelerator pedal.
When cruise control is active, the
warning indicator in the instrument
panel illuminates.
Operating cruise control
Operate cruise control using the controls
on the left-hand steering column lever:
O
- OFF
I
- initially sets the current speed.
Subsequent presses increase the speed.
R
- initially resumes a previously set
speed. Subsequent presses reduce the
speed.
Setting the vehicle speed
To engage cruise control, the vehicle
speed must be more than 48 km/h
(30 mph). Once you have accelerated to
your desired speed, press and release
I
to set the speed at which the vehicle is
currently travelling. Cruise control is
engaged and the set speed will be
maintained when you release your foot
from the accelerator pedal. To actively
disengage cruise control, press the
O
button on the end of the control lever.
Note:
Cruise control automatically
disengages when you press the brake
pedal, apply the hand brake, or when the
vehicle’s speed falls below 48 km/h
(30 mph).
Caution: When you disengage cruise
control, the vehicle decelerates
rapidly.
Changing the set speed
Accelerate or decelerate to the desired
speed and then press and release
I
to
change the set speed.
•
Press and release
I
to increase the
speed in1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments
or press and hold until the desired
speed is reached.
•
Press and release
R
to reduce the
speed in 1.6 km/h (1 mph) increments
or press and hold until the desired
speed is reached. Pressing
R
when
the vehicle is at, or below, 50 km/h
(31 mph) cancels cruise control.
Alternatively, use the rocker switch to
increase (
I
) or reduce
(
R
) speed when cruise control is active.
You can press the accelerator pedal to
exceed the set speed. Then, on releasing
the pedal, the vehicle will decelerate until
the set speed is reached.
Resuming a set speed
Caution: The resume function should
only be used if you are aware of the
set speed and want to return to it.
Press
R
to accelerate to the previously
set speed. This function will not operate if
the previously set speed is zero or if cruise
control is already operating.
The set speed is reset to zero when:
1.
The starter switch is turned to the OFF
position.
2.
Reverse gear is selected.
3.
The hand brake is applied.
4.
The vehicle speed is below 1.6 km/h
(1 mph).
