Cruise (speed) control
The cruise (speed) control system, when
fitted, can be used by the driver to
maintain a selected vehicle speed above
40 km/h without the driver having to use
the accelerator.
Illuminated switches on the steering
wheel allow the driver manual control of
the system. Brake and clutch operation
also influences the cruise control system.
(A) – RESUME to resume the set speed
retained in memory.
(B) – SET to set the speed or
increase/decrease the set speed when the
speed has been set.
(C) – CANCEL cancels cruise control but
retains the set speed in memory.
(D) – ON/OFF readies cruise control for
speed setting or turns cruise control OFF.

WARNING:
Only use cruise control when
conditions are favourable, for
example, straight, dry, open roads
with light traffic.
To engage cruise control, press the
ON/OFF switch and the warning lamp on
the instrument cluster will be illuminated
to show that the system is ON. Vehicles
with a message centre will have the
message CRUISE CONTROL ON.
When you are travelling at the speed you
require, which must be above 40 km/h,
press the SET button.
Cruise control will engage and maintain
the set speed and you can remove your
foot from the accelerator pedal.
Note: Cruise control will automatically
disengage when the brake pedal is pressed
or when the vehicle speed falls below
40 km/h. If the vehicle has a manual
gearbox, pressing the clutch pedal will
also disengage the cruise control.
