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 main switch off and have the

system checked by a NISSAN dealer.

● The SET indicator light may blink when the

cruise control main switch is turned ON

while pushing the ACCEL/RES, COAST/

SET, or CANCEL switch (located on the

steering wheel). 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 main

switch. The CRUISE indicator light in the instru-

ment 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.
