When the system is turned off, cruising
speed must be reset when the cruise con-
trol is turned on again.

SETTING THE CRUISING SPEED
On vehicles with automatic transmission,
the transmission must be in "D", "4"
(5- speed automatic transmission) or "3"
(4- speed automatic transmission) before
button
you set the cruising speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,
push the lever down in the "- SET" direc-
tion and release it. This sets the vehicle
at that speed. If the speed is not satisfac-
tory, tap the lever up for a faster speed,
or tap it down for a slower speed. Each
tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h
(1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
If you need acceleration—for example,
when passing—depress
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the set speed. When you release it, the
vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
For manual transmission:
While driving with the cruise control
on, do not shift to neutral without
depressing the clutch pedal, as this
may cause engine racing or overrev-
ving.
CANCELLING THE CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control may be temporarily
cancelled by the driver or by the system
itself under certain circumstances. Tempo-
rary cancellation allows the set cruising
speed to remain in memory.
The cruise control can be temporarily can-
celled by doing the following:
Pulling the lever in the "CANCEL" di-
D
rection and releasing it
Depressing the brake pedal
