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.
When the cruise control is on, the driving
pattern of the automatic transmission is
fixed in the normal position, regardless of
the position of the driving pattern selector
switch.
CAUTION
D
To help maintain maximum control
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.
D
Avoid vehicle speed increases when
driving downhill. If the
speed is too fast in relation to the
cruise control set speed, cancel the
cruise control then downshift the
transmission to use engine braking
to slow down.
