Cruise Control

If your vehicle has cruise control,
you can maintain a speed of about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more without
keeping your foot on the
accelerator. This can really help on
long trips. Cruise control does not
work at speeds below about
40 km/h (25 mph).
When you apply your brakes or
press the button, the cruise
control shuts off.
If your vehicle is in cruise control
when the optional traction control
system begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control will automatically
disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you
may turn the cruise control back on.
Caution
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you can't drive safely at a
steady speed. So, don't use your
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic.
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. Don't use
cruise control on slippery roads.
Setting cruise control
1. Press the button, located on
the right side of the steering
wheel, to turn cruise control on.

2. Accelerate to the speed
you want.
3. Press the SET/- button and
release it. An indicator light on
the instrument panel cluster will
come on to show you that the
cruise control is on.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Caution
If you leave your cruise control on
when you're not using cruise, you
might hit a button and go into
cruise when you don't want to.
You could be startled and even
lose control. Keep the cruise
control switch off until you want to
use cruise control.
Resuming a set speed
Suppose you set your cruise control
at a desired speed and then you
apply the brake pedal or press the
button. This, of course, shuts off
