Cruise control

The cruise control is designed to main-
tain a set cruising speed without requir-
ing the driver to operate the accelera-
tor. Cruising speed can be set to any
speed above 40 km/h (25 mph).
Within the limits of the engine's capabili-
ties, cruising speed can be maintained up
or down grades. However, changes in ve-
hicle speed may occur on steeper grades.
CAUTION
To help maintain maximum control
D
of your vehicle, do not use the
cruise control when driving
heavy or varying traffic, or on slip-
pery (rainy, icy or snow−covered) or
winding roads.
Be careful about vehicle speed as
D
it may increase when driving down-
hill with the cruise control on.
