TO RESUME SPEED
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES (+)
button and release. Resume can be used at any speed
above 32 km/h.

TO VARY THE SPEED SETTING
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can
increase speed by pushing the RES (+) button. If the
button is continually pressed, the set speed will con-
tinue to increase until the button is released, then the
new set speed will be established.

Pressing the RES (+) button once will result in a 2 km/h
increase in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in an increase of 2 km/h.

To decrease speed while the Electronic Speed Control
is set, push the SET (-) button. If the button is continu-
ally held in the SET (-) position, the set speed will
continue to decrease until the button is released.
Release the button when the desired speed is reached,
and the new set speed will be established.

Pressing the SET (-) button once will result in a 2 km/h
decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the
button results in a decrease of 2 km/h.

TO ACCELERATE FOR PASSING
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set
speed.

Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain
the vehicle set speed.

NOTE:

The Electronic Speed Control system main-

tains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.

On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur
so it may be preferable to drive without Electronic
Speed Control.

WARNING!

Electronic Speed Control can be danger-
ous where the system cannot maintain a

constant speed.Your vehicle could go too fast for
the conditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Electronic Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
