Cruise control

WARNING: Only use cruise control
when conditions are favorable, on
straight, dry, open roads with light traffic.
The cruise control system allows you to
maintain a selected vehicle speed above
30 mph, (48 kmh) without having to use the
accelerator pedal.
When cruise control is active, the
CRUISE
warning indicator in the instrument
panel illuminates.
Operating cruise control
Operate cruise control using the following
controls on the left-hand steering column
lever:
O - OFF
I - initially sets the current speed.
Subsequent presses increase the speed.
Driving your vehicle
R - initially resumes a previously set speed.
Subsequent presses reduce the speed.
Setting the vehicle speed
To engage cruise control, the vehicle must be
moving at least 30 mph (48 kmh). Once you
have accelerated to your desired speed, press
and release I to set the speed at which the
vehicle is currently traveling. 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 30 mph (48 kmh).
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 in 1 mph (1.6 kmh) increments or
press and hold until the desired speed is
reached.
• Press and release
R to reduce the speed
in 1 mph (1.6 kmh) increments or press
and hold until the desired speed is
reached. Pressing R when the vehicle is
at, or below, 31 mph (50 kmh) cancels
cruise control.
Switches and controls
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 key is turned to the OFF position.
2. Reverse gear is selected.
3. The hand brake is applied.
4. The vehicle speed is below 1 mph
(1.6 kmh).
