Cruise Control operation
1. CRUISE indicator
2. SET indicator
The Cruise Control system allows you to
drive at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h)
without depressing the accelerator pedal.
Information
• During normal cruise control operation,
when the SET switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after
approximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.
• Before activating the cruise control
function, the system will check to verify
that the brake switch is operating nor-
mally. Depress the brake pedal at least
once after turning ON the ignition or
starting the engine.

Take the following precautions:
•
If the Cruise Control is left on,
("CRUISE" indicator light in the
instrument cluster is illuminated)
the Cruise Control can be activat-
ed unintentionally.
Keep the
Cruise Control system off
("CRUISE" indicator light OFF)
when the Cruise Control is not in
use, to avoid inadvertently set-
ting a speed.
•
Use the Cruise Control system
only when traveling on open
highways in good weather.
•
Do not use the Cruise Control
when it may be unsafe to keep
the vehicle at a constant speed:
- When driving in heavy traffic or
when traffic conditions make it
difficult to drive at a constant
speed
- When driving on rainy, icy, or
snow-covered roads
- When driving on hilly or windy
roads
- When driving in windy areas
- When driving with limited view
(possibly due to bad weather
such as fog, snow, rain and
sandstorm)
