SPEED CONTROL

Speed Control
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance feature that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal.
This feature can be used at a speed
above 25 mph (40 km/h) on long
stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this feature on city roads with traffic. Do
not use it in town.
Activation / Deactivation
Note:
When the ignition is cycled OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
stored. For example, if the ignition is
cycled OFF while the Speed Control is
operating, the system will be operable
when the ignition is cycled ON the next
time.
Activating Speed Control
Push the ON button located on the
right side of the steering wheel with the
other Speed Control buttons. The
warning light (amber) in the instrument
cluster will illuminate.
