WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous
where the system cannot maintain a constant
speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the
conditions, and you could lose control. An
accident could be the result. Do not use
Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, or
slippery.

To Accelerate for Passing

Press the accelerator as you would normally.
When the pedal is released, the vehicle will
return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
NOTE:
The Electronic Speed Control system main-
tains speed, up and down hills. A slight
speed change on moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may
occur so it may be preferable to drive without
Electronic Speed Control.
