The driver' s preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to "Programmable Features" in "Understanding Your Instrument Panel" in
the Owner' s Manual on the DVD for more information. The speed decrement shown is
dependant on the selected speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 mph decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 mph.
If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the
button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 km/h decrease in set speed. Each
subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 km/h.
If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the
button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
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
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Electronic Speed Control system maintains 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.
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a con-
stant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose con-
trol and have an accident. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
