8-38 Driving and Operating
WARNING (Continued)
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tyre traction can
cause excessive wheel slip, and
you could lose control. Do not use
cruise control on slippery roads.
The cruise control buttons are on
the steering wheel.

cruise control system on and off. An
indicator light will turn on or off in
the instrument cluster.

set speed from memory.
RES/+ (Resume/Accel): Move the
thumbwheel up to resume to a
previously set speed or to

thumbwheel down to set a speed
and activate cruise control or to
make the vehicle decelerate.
Setting Cruise Control
If the cruise button is on when not in
use, it could get bumped and go into
cruise when not desired. Keep the
cruise control button off when cruise
is not being used.
To set a speed:
1
1. Press to turn cruise
control on.
2. Get up to the speed desired.
3. Move the thumbwheel down
toward SET/- and release it.
The desired set speed briefly
appears in the instrument
cluster.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
When the brakes are applied, the
cruise control shuts off.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a
desired speed and then the brakes
are applied, the cruise control is
disengaged without erasing the set
speed from memory. Once the
vehicle speed is about 40 km/h
(25 mph) or greater, move the
thumbwheel up toward RES/+
briefly and then release it. The
vehicle returns to the previously set
speed and stays there.
