Cruise Control Switches
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control system when driv-
ing conditions do not permit maintaining a con-
stant speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or
roads with a loose driving surface. Failure to fol-
low this precaution could cause a collision or
loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage.
NOTICE
When the cruise control is engaged, do not at-
tempt to shift gears without using the clutch
pedal. Failure to follow this precaution will result
in a temporarily uncontrolled increase in engine
speed. Transmission damage and gear stripping
could result.
Cruise control is activated by two dash-mounted
switches: an On/Off switch and a Set/Decelerate/
Resume/Accelerate switch. See
Fig. 2.23
.

Decelerate switch to decelerate slowly. Release
the switch when the desired speed is achieved.

upper half of the Set/Resume/Accelerate/
