memory and by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position that speed will be re-engaged.
If the cruise control is already engaged, the cruising speed can be increased by depressing the SET
SPEED button (2). The vehicle will then maintain the current speed.

momentarily, or set the cruise control switch (1) to OFF. This will disengage the cruise control and
prevent overreving the engine.
NOTE: When driving on a grade, actual vehicle speed may vary slightly from the set cruise control
speed.

selected speed will be maintained without having to set switch to RESUME.
To disengage the cruise control system:
Set switch (1) to position OFF, or depress brake pedal, or depress clutch pedal (where applicable).
Switching off the starting (ignition) switch will automatically disengage the cruise control system.
