To reset at a slower cruising speed, use one

of the following three methods.

● Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the ve-

hicle attains the desired speed, push the

COAST/SET switch and release it.

● Push and hold the COAST/SET switch. Re-

lease the switch when the vehicle slows to

the desired speed.

● Push and release the COAST/SET switch.

Each time you do this, the set speed de-

creases by about 1 MPH (1.6 km/h).

To resume the preset speed, push and re-

lease the ACCEL/RES switch. The vehicle re-

turns to the last set cruising speed when the

vehicle speed is over 25 MPH (40 km/h).

CAUTION

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),

follow these recommendations to obtain

maximum engine performance and en-

sure the future reliability and economy of

your new vehicle. Failure to follow these

recommendations may result in short-

ened engine life and reduced engine

performance.

● Avoid driving for long periods at constant

speed, either fast or slow, and do not run the

engine over 4,000 rpm.

● Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
● Avoid quick starts.
● Avoid hard braking as much as possible.
● Do not tow a trailer for the first 500 miles

(800 km). Your engine, axle or other parts

could be damaged.

● Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Maintain

cruising speeds with a constant accelerator

position.

● Drive at moderate speeds on the highway.

Driving at high speed lowers fuel economy.

● Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking.

Maintain a safe distance behind other ve-

hicles.

● Use a proper gear range which suits road

conditions. On level roads, shift into high

gear as soon as possible.

● Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
● Keep your engine tuned up.
● Follow the recommended periodic mainte-

nance schedule.

● Keep the tires inflated to the correct pres-

sure. Low tire pressure increases tire wear

and lowers fuel economy.

● Keep the front wheels in correct alignment.

Improper alignment increases tire wear and

lowers fuel economy.

● Air conditioner operation lowers fuel

economy. Use the air conditioner only when

necessary.
