Tapping the "SET DECEL" button once will result in a 1
mph (2 km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is
tapped, speed decreases.

Manual Transaxle:

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 189
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the system
can't maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. An accident could be the result. Don't use
Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.

To Accelerate For Passing:

Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
NOTE: The speed control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
