Operating brake pedal or clutch pedal (where applicable)
This will automatically disengage the cruise control. Previously selected cruise speed is retained in the
memory and by momentarily setting the switch to RESUME position that speed will be re-engaged.
If the cruise control is already engaged, the cruising speed can be increased by depressing the SET
SPEED button (2). The vehicle will then maintain the current speed.
If actual speed falls below 70% of set speed or if the wheels spin or lock, the cruise control will
disengage automatically.
WARNING!
The cruise control should not be used in heavy traffic or when driving on wet or slippery roads.
If the gear shift is moved to Neutral while the cruise control is engaged, then depress the brake pedal
momentarily, or set the cruise control switch (1) to OFF. This will disengage the cruise control and
prevent overreving the engine.
NOTE: When driving on a grade, actual vehicle speed may vary slightly from the set cruise control
speed. If actual speed falls below 70% of set speed or if the wheels spin, the cruise control will
disengage automatically.
Acceleration
Momentary acceleration, such as for passing, does not interrupt cruise control operation. The previously
selected speed will be maintained without having to set switch to RESUME.
To disengage the cruise control system:
Set switch (1) to position OFF, or depress brake pedal, or depress clutch pedal (where applicable).
Switching off the starting (ignition) switch will automatically disengage the cruise control system.
