in the memory and by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position, that speed will be re-
engaged.
If the cruise control is already engaged, the cruising speed can be increased or decreased by depressing
the SET button (A) towards either + or -. One short press on the button corresponds to a speed change of
approx. 1 mph (1.6 km/h). When the button is released, the vehicle will maintain the current speed.
If actual speed falls below 70% of set speed or if the wheels spin or lock, the cruise control will
disengage automatically.
NOTE:
When driving in hilly terrain, the gearbox may tend to jump between different gears. This can be
avoided by selecting gear selector position 3 (intermediate position).
Normally, the (E)conomy mode should be used when the cruise control is engaged.
Acceleration
Momentary acceleration, such as for passing, does not interrupt cruise control operation. The previously
selected speed will be maintained without having to set the switch to RESUME. To disengage the cruise
control system : set switch (B) to OFF, depress the brake pedal or move the gear selector to position N.
Switching off the starting (ignition) switch will automatically disengage the cruise control system.
WARNING! The cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or when driving on wet or slippery
roads. Do not use or resume cruise control in reverse gear. When the ignition is switched off, any
information stored in the cruise control memory will be erased.
