Cruise Control (cont'd)
To Change the Set Speed:
To a faster speed — For gradual acceleration with your foot off
the accelerator, push and hold the RESUME switch until you
reach the desired speed; release the switch and the system's
memory will be re-programmed to the new speed. For faster
acceleration, push the accelerator until you reach the desired
speed, then push and release the SET switch to re-program the
system.
To a slower speed — push and hold the SET switch and the car
will coast; when you reach the desired slower speed, release
the switch and the system will be re-programmed.
For temporary acceleration above the set speed, such as for
passing, use the accelerator pedal conventionally. When you
want to return to the set speed, take your foot off the ac-
celerator and coast without applying the brakes.
The Cruise Control automates the function of the
accelerator pedal to maintain your car at a constant speed.
This can be a convenience on long trips, but it can also be a
danger if there are many other cars on the road or if the road is
unfamiliar. Pay strict attention to the responsibility of driving
whenever using the Cruise Control.
CAUTION: Because the Cruise Control directly activates the
accelerator pedal, don't rest your foot under the pedal when
the Cruise Control is on; it may pull the pedal down onto your
foot.
NOTE:
With Cruise Control on, your speed will still vary slightly,
particularly when going up or down hills.
Do not ride the brakes or clutch (5 speed transmission), as
this will cause the Cruise Control to disengage.
