PRECAUTIONS ON CRUISE
CONTROL

● If the cruise control system malfunctions, it

cancels automatically. The SET indicator
light in the instrument panel then blinks to
warn the driver.

● If the SET indicator light blinks, turn the

cruise control switch off and have the sys-
tem checked by a NISSAN dealer.

● The SET indicator light may blink when the

cruise control switch is turned ON while
pushing the ACCEL/RES, COAST/SET, or
CANCEL switch. To properly set the cruise
control system, use the following proce-
dures.

WARNING

Do not use the cruise control when driving
under the following conditions:

When it is not possible to keep the

vehicle at a set speed.

In heavy traffic or in traffic that varies in

speed.

On winding or hilly roads.
On slippery roads (rain, snow, ice, etc.).
In very windy areas.
Doing so could cause a loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident.

CAUTION

On manual transmission models, do not
shift into N (Neutral) without depressing
the clutch pedal when the cruise control is
set. Should this occur, depress the clutch
pedal and turn the main switch off imme-
diately. Failure to do so may cause engine
damage.

CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONS

The cruise control allows driving at a speed be-
tween 25 - 89 MPH (40 - 144 km/h) without
keeping your foot on the accelerator pedal.

To turn on the cruise control, push the
ON·OFF switch. The CRUISE indicator light in
the instrument panel comes on.

To set cruising speed, accelerate the vehicle to
the desired speed, push the COAST/SET switch
and release it. The SET indicator light in the
instrument panel comes on. Take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. Your vehicle maintains the set
speed.

To pass another vehicle, depress the ac-

celerator pedal. When you release the
pedal, the vehicle returns to the previously
set speed.
