SETTING THE CRUISING SPEED
Vehicles with automatic
(4−speed)—The shift lever must be in the
"D" or "3" position before you set the
cruising speed.
Vehicles with automatic
(6−speed)—The shift lever must be in the
"D" position, between "D4" (fourth range)
and "D6" (sixth range), before you set the
cruising speed.
Vehicles with Multidrive—The shift lever
must be in the "D" position, between "D4"
(fourth gear step) and "D7" (seventh gear
step) in the "D" position or between "M4"
(fourth gear step) and "M7" (seventh gear
step) in the "M" position before you set
the cruising speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,
push the lever down in the "− SET" direc-
tion and release it. This sets the vehicle
at that speed. If the speed is not satisfac-
tory, tap the lever up for a faster speed,
or tap it down for a slower speed. Each
tap changes the set speed by approxi-
mately 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You can now
take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

If you need acceleration—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the set speed. When you release it, the
vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
For manual transmission:
While driving with the cruise control
on, do not shift to neutral without
depressing the clutch pedal, as this
may cause engine racing or overrev-
ving.
